New garage doors. You get one number, and it doesn't change.

A new garage door is the biggest moving thing on your house and usually the largest single face of the front elevation. Getting it right is part curb appeal, part insulation, and part making sure the door is sized and balanced so it lasts. We install new doors as the same crew that repairs them all week, so the door we hang is one we already know how to keep running.

Door styles we install

There's no single best door. The right one depends on your house, your budget and how you use the garage. These are the four families we hang most across West Michigan:

• Insulated steel. The workhorse. It has steel skins with a foam core, low maintenance, and the best value for an attached garage. It comes in a range of colors and a few panel profiles, including raised-panel and flush looks.
• Carriage-house. The barn-door look: overlays, decorative hardware and optional windows on a standard sectional door that still rolls up overhead. It's popular on traditional and craftsman homes around the metro.
• Modern flush. Clean, flat sections with no raised pattern, often in a darker or woodgrain finish. It pairs with newer and contemporary builds and reads simple and intentional.
• Full-view glass and aluminum. An aluminum frame with glass panels: frosted, clear or tinted. It lights up a shop or finished garage and gives the front a high-end face. It's the least insulating of the four, so we'll talk through that trade-off if the bay is heated.

Measuring and custom-ordering

Plenty of older homes, additions and pole-style garages around West Michigan have openings that aren't a clean factory size. We measure the rough opening, the headroom above it, and the side room beside the tracks, then order a door built to those numbers. A door bought off a guessed size won't seal at the floor or close evenly, so this is the step that separates a door that lasts from one that fights you. Non-standard widths, extra-tall doors and low-headroom track kits are all routine for us.

What a full install includes

A new door is more than the panels. When we install, the price covers the whole system so nothing old gets bolted to something new:

• Removal and haul-off of the old door, tracks and hardware, so you're not left with a pile in the driveway.
• New tracks and rollers sized to the new door. We don't reuse the old hardware.
• Springs sized to the new door's weight. A heavier insulated or glass door needs different spring tension than what was on the old one, so we wind the right spring system for what we hang.
• Opener check and re-connect. We re-attach your existing opener, set the travel and force limits to the new door, and test the safety reverse. If the opener's on its last legs, we'll tell you and price a new one with the door.
• Balance and cycle test so the door floats at waist height and runs smooth before we leave, with the price agreed before any of it started.

Hörmann doors carry the maker's warranty on the door sections, and we'll help you file a claim on it.

Garage door installation around Grand Rapids

We've done over 40 new garage door installs so far in 2026. About 15 of them were in Grand Rapids. Most of the rest were in Wyoming, Kentwood, Jenison and Grandville. We do installs in Hudsonville and the towns a little further out too. It's the same crew and the same free measured estimate wherever you are. And we haul the old door off at the end.

How the free measured estimate works

Because the price depends entirely on the door you choose, we don't pretend to price it over the phone. We come out, measure the opening for real, show you the style and insulation options that fit your house and budget, and give you the full out-the-door number (door, hardware, springs, removal and haul-off) before you commit anything. There's no fee for the measured visit and no deposit to get the number. When you're ready, we order the door and set the install. Bigger installs can be paid over time through Wisetack, so just ask about it when you get your price.

Sometimes a new door isn't the answer yet. If your door is sound and only one section took damage, a single panel replacement can be the smarter spend. If you can't decide which way to go, our guide on garage door repair vs. replace walks through the age, damage and cost lines that tip the decision, and we'll give you the honest read when we measure.

If you're still working out the budget, our guide on how much a new garage door costs walks through what's in an installed price and the four things that move it. If the garage is attached to the house, it's worth reading whether an insulated door is worth the extra before you choose.
