It's time for a replacement for our builder grade door.
Has anyone installed/purchased a decent quality insulated garage door?
It is a standard tw0-car wide setup.
Thanks!

Do a forum search, there Jawas a thread fairly recently on this topic.
Maybe get some ideas there.
Your budget will determine the level of insulated door you buy. One with a good (installation, labor & parts) warranty is the way to go.Quote:

However at the time i did the shop, that extra $$ was not in the budget.
I was looking to have them do it all. I added an outlet up high on the wall so that I could use one of the shaft drive openers.
I'll see if I can find that previous thread...
If you get an insulated garage door, consider an overhead fan in the garage to go with it.
Is there a local garage door guy? Looking for doors and openers myself.
Just went through this myself. Best bid from a reliable company was ankmar garage door company in COS, DEN and Fort Collins. Had a local contractor for about $250 less but kept giving me the run around for 3 months. Ankmar has been around a long time and does quite a few original equipment installs. One new steel 16x7 and one new steel 8x7 insulated garage doors installed with wind force stiffeners and bracing added, old doors removed ran approx $2750. 2.5 week lead time.
Got mine from Don's Garage Doors.
16x7 steel door
2" thick insulated 3 layer sandwich panel
10.25 r value.
new tracks, new torsion spring, existing opener
$1271
Just gave them a call...same basic specs as your's...$1612 w/o windows...$1977 withQuote:
