What Our Garage Door Installation Service Includes
New Door Installation
New door installation covers the full replacement of your existing garage door system — panels, tracks, springs, cables, rollers, and hardware — with a new assembly engineered for your specific opening. In Spokane, we see this need most often when doors have reached 15–20 years of service, sustained collision damage, or deteriorated from moisture intrusion during our wet winters. Thomas Hernandez measures every opening himself, checks for level and square in older Spokane homes with settled foundations, and specifies the correct spring weight so your new door balances properly from day one.
Single Car Door Installation
Single car doors typically span 8 to 9 feet wide and suit detached garages, older Spokane homes in neighborhoods like West Central or Emerson-Garfield, or properties with narrow driveways. These installations demand precise spring sizing — an undersprung single door will strain your opener and sag within seasons. We source single doors in steel, wood composite, and aluminum, and we always verify headroom clearance, especially in pre-1940s Spokane garages with low ceilings where a standard track assembly won’t fit.
Double Car Door Installation
Double car doors — 16 feet wide for a two-car opening — are the standard for most post-1980 Spokane homes in Five Mile Prairie, Indian Trail, and the newer developments around Spokane Valley. The wider span means heavier panels and a more critical spring calibration; a 16-foot door with improper spring tension will drift, bind, or damage the opener within months. We install torsion spring systems on double doors as standard practice, and we reinforce the header bracket in homes where the previous installation showed signs of pull-away.
Custom Garage Door Installation
Custom garage door installation addresses non-standard openings, carriage-house aesthetic requests, or specialty materials like reclaimed cedar, full-view glass, or insulated sandwich construction for workshop garages. We’ve installed custom doors in historic Spokane homes on the South Hill where the original carriage door opening was 7’6″ wide, and in modern builds near Liberty Lake where architects specified flush-panel aluminum for a minimalist facade. Thomas Hernandez fabricates or sources custom track solutions when off-the-shelf hardware won’t accommodate your design, and we coordinate with your builder or architect to meet structural specifications.
Steel Doors
Steel garage doors account for roughly 70% of our Spokane installations, and for good reason: they resist denting, require minimal maintenance, and offer excellent insulation value when you choose a double- or triple-layer construction. In Spokane’s climate — where January lows regularly hit single digits and summer sun beats on south-facing doors — an insulated steel door with a thermal break pays for itself in reduced heating load and garage comfort. We install 24- and 25-gauge steel doors from major manufacturers, and we always verify wind-load rating for homes on the exposed ridges above the Spokane Valley.
Wood Doors
Wood garage doors deliver unmatched warmth and architectural authenticity, particularly on Craftsman bungalows in the Comstock neighborhood or Tudor revivals on Cannon Hill. The tradeoff is maintenance: Spokane’s dry summers and wet winters cause expansion and contraction that cracks finishes and loosens joints if the door isn’t built from stable, kiln-dried stock. We install cedar, mahogany, and engineered wood composite doors, always using marine-grade hardware and specifying proper overhang protection. When a wood door is the right choice, we show you how to maintain it so it lasts 20 years, not five.

Brands We Service for Garage Door Installation
We know your brand — because we’ve installed and repaired thousands of them across 17 years in Spokane. Clopay is the largest residential garage door manufacturer in North America, and we’ve installed their Gallery and Classic lines throughout Spokane County, including their Intellicore insulation system that performs well in our cold winters. Amarr doors — particularly their Stratford and Lincoln collections — are popular in newer Spokane subdivisions for their clean lines and reliable hardware; we stock Amarr-compatible track components and have resolved their occasional top-panel bowing issues in wide double-door openings. Wayne Dalton uses a proprietary TorqueMaster spring system that many generalist contractors won’t touch; we’ve converted dozens of these to standard torsion systems when the original springs failed, and we can source authentic Wayne Dalton panels when matching is critical. Craftsman — historically a Sears house brand with doors built by various manufacturers — requires careful identification of the actual OEM to get compatible parts; we’ve sorted out more misidentified Craftsman doors than we can count, saving homeowners from complete unnecessary replacements.
Whether you have Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, or any other make, we can help. Our home page outlines our full service capabilities, and we’re always happy to identify your existing door and opener brands during a free estimate visit.
Signs You Need Garage Door Installation Right Now
- Your door is more than 20 years old. Garage door technology has advanced significantly in two decades — modern springs last longer, insulation values are higher, and safety features like pinch-resistant panels and tamper-resistant bottom brackets are now standard. An aging door in Spokane is also likely uninsulated, costing you every winter as heat escapes through thin steel or rotted wood panels.
- Repeated component failures in short succession. When you’ve replaced springs, cables, and rollers within two years and the door still operates poorly, the underlying issue is often frame misalignment, panel fatigue, or an improperly sized original installation. Continuing to band-aid a failing system costs more than replacement within three to four years.
- Visible panel damage, rot, or rust-through. Spokane’s snow load can warp bottom panels; our wet springs rot unsealed wood; road salt from plowed driveways corrodes steel edges. Once water infiltrates a panel or frame member, the deterioration accelerates and compromises the door’s structural integrity and weather sealing.
- Your door lacks modern safety features. Pre-1993 doors may not have photoelectric sensors or auto-reverse mechanisms required by federal law. If your door doesn’t stop and reverse on contact with an obstruction, you’re exposing your family to injury risk and your property to liability — and no repair can retrofit these fundamental safety systems to an obsolete door design.
- The door no longer fits the opening properly. Gaps at the sides, a door that hits the frame, or daylight visible around the perimeter indicate settled hardware, warped panels, or structural shifting in your garage. These gaps admit Spokane’s winter cold, invite pest intrusion, and signal that the door’s weather sealing and security function have failed.
Our Garage Door Installation Process — Step by Step
- 1
On-site measurement and structural assessment. Thomas Hernandez arrives with a laser measure and level to record your opening’s width, height, headroom, backroom, and side-room dimensions to the quarter-inch. He inspects the header for sag or rot, checks the jambs for plumb, and identifies any foundation settling common in Spokane’s clay-heavy soils — because a door hung out of square will never operate correctly, regardless of component quality.
- 2
Door selection and specification. Based on your measurements, aesthetic preferences, insulation needs, and budget, we specify the appropriate door model, gauge or wood species, window configuration, and hardware package. We explain the spring cycle rating (how many open/close cycles before replacement) and help you choose between standard 10,000-cycle springs and extended 25,000 or 50,000-cycle upgrades for heavily used doors.
- 3
Removal and responsible disposal of the existing door. We detach the old door panel by panel to prevent uncontrolled spring release, then remove the track system, spring assembly, and opener bracket. All metal components are recycled; wood panels are disposed of per Spokane County guidelines. We inspect the rough opening once cleared, addressing any framing issues before the new installation begins.
- 4
Precision installation of the new door system. We install the vertical and horizontal track, mount the spring system with calibrated tension for your door’s exact weight, hang panels with proper hinge alignment, and attach cables and rollers. Every bolt is torqued to specification; every moving part is lubricated with synthetic grease rated for our temperature range. We use a digital spring gauge to verify balance — a properly balanced door should hold position at any point in its travel.
- 5
Testing, safety verification, and homeowner walkthrough. We cycle the door 20 times, test the auto-reverse and photoelectric sensors with a solid object, verify force settings on the opener, and confirm weather seal contact around the full perimeter. Thomas demonstrates manual release operation, explains seasonal maintenance, and provides written documentation of your door’s specifications and our workmanship warranty. You approve the installation before we consider the job complete.
How Much Does Garage Door Installation Cost in Spokane?
A typical new door installation in Spokane runs $700–$2,200 depending on door size, material, insulation level, and hardware specifications. Here’s how that breaks down for common scenarios:
- Basic single steel door, uninsulated: $700–$1,100 — suitable for detached garages or budget-focused replacements
- Insulated single steel door, double-layer: $1,000–$1,500 — recommended for attached garages in Spokane’s climate
- Basic double steel door, uninsulated: $1,100–$1,600 — common for rental properties or secondary garages
- Insulated double steel door, triple-layer: $1,400–$2,200 — best thermal performance and noise reduction for primary residences
- Wood or custom door: $1,800–$2,500+ — material and fabrication dependent, with premium hardware
Several factors push pricing within these ranges. Insulation adds $200–$500 but reduces heating costs significantly in Spokane’s five-month heating season. Window inserts add $150–$400 depending on panel count and glass type. Extended-cycle springs add $100–$200 and double or quintuple spring life — a smart investment if you use your garage as a primary entry. Custom track configurations for low headroom or high-lift applications add $150–$300 in hardware and labor.

We don’t quote low and add charges later — the price we confirm is the price you pay. To avoid overpaying, get at least one competing estimate that specifies the same door model and gauge; vague “installed” quotes often hide inferior products.
