A new garage door changes how your home looks from the street, how it functions every morning, and how secure it feels at night. In Irvine, where home values and curb appeal carry real weight, the wrong installation shows. Neil Stratton leads our team at Carriage House Garage Door Co, and we approach every install as a structural project, not a box-drop. We work on LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor, so the door you already have is a door we already know. For garage door installation in Irvine, call (866) 472-7503 for a free, no-pressure estimate. Price is quoted and agreed before any work starts.
Garage Door Replacement
Garage Door Replacement means removing your existing door and installing a new one engineered for your home’s specific opening, weight, and daily-use pattern. You need it when a door is bent beyond safe alignment, when panels are cracked and letting weather in, or when a 1980s wood door has become more maintenance than asset. Carriage House Garage Door Co handles full Garage Door Installation – Irvine replacement on homes throughout the area, typically between $700 and $2,200 depending on material, size, insulation, and hardware. The quote is fixed before we begin.
When Replacement Beats Repair
A rusted bottom panel or failing roller assembly can be repaired. But once the torsion system is carrying a warped, heavy door, continuing to patch it costs more over two years than replacing it once. We’ll tell you straight which path makes sense for your door, brand, and budget.
Matched to Your Home’s Character
An Irvine tract home in Woodbridge has different architectural demands than a custom build in Turtle Rock. We match door style, color, and window placement to the house, not to what’s on sale. The result is installed to last and right for the facade.

Garage Door Installation Service
Garage Door Installation cost guide — our service covers the full scope: measuring, removing the old door, assembling the new one, balancing springs, aligning tracks, and testing the entire system. You need this when you’re building new, when your current door has failed structurally, or when you’re ready to upgrade from a builder-grade aluminum door to an insulated steel one. Carriage House Garage Door Co provides this service across Irvine for $700 to $2,200 all-in on a standard single door, with the price confirmed before work begins.
New Construction and Remodels
We work with Irvine homeowners and general contractors during new builds and major remodels. Rough opening measurements, header clearance, and opener pre-wiring are checked before the sheetrock goes up, so the door fits the first time without rework.
Builder-Grade Upgrades
Most new Irvine homes ship with the cheapest door the tract builder could source. Within three years, those doors show dents, sag, and noise. We replace them with insulated steel doors that hold their shape and cut garage heat in August.
Commercial Garage Door Installation
Commercial Garage Door Installation serves Irvine warehouses, auto shops, storage facilities, and light industrial spaces that need doors built for high cycles and minimal downtime. You need it when a roll-up door is damaged, when tenant turnover requires a different door type, or when an old door fails a safety inspection. Carriage House Garage Door Co installs commercial doors in Garage Door Installation – Tustin and Irvine, with project pricing typically running $2,200 and up depending on door size, cycle rating, and motor requirements. The quote is written, not verbal, and agreed before any work starts.
Cycle-Rated Doors That Last
A home garage door opens four times a day. A commercial door at an Irvine distribution warehouse might open forty times before lunch. We source and install doors rated for the actual duty cycle, not the cheapest option that fits the opening.
Minimal Disruption to Your Business
We schedule commercial installations around your operation, including early morning or weekend slots. The old door is removed, the new one hung and tested, and your loading dock or service bay is back in business on time.
Garage Door Installation Contractors
Garage Door Installation Contractors are the people you trust to hang a 300-pound moving wall over your car and family. The difference between a licensed specialist and a general handyman is the difference between a door that balances perfectly for fifteen years and one that sags, binds, and eats cables. Carriage House Garage Door Co fills that role in Irvine. Neil Stratton’s team works on all eight major brands and quotes $700 to $2,200 for full residential installation, fixed before the first bolt is turned.
One Crew, Two Disciplines
A garage door is structural steel and an opener is electrical control. Most companies only do one. We do both, which means when the door is installed, we’re also checking the opener’s force settings, travel limits, and safety sensors. One company for the whole system.
Licensed, Insured, and Accountable
We carry proper insurance and we answer our phone after the job is done. Neil Stratton’s name is on the company, and his standard is on every install. If something isn’t right, we come back and make it right.
Garage Door Seal Installation
Garage Door Seal Installation replaces the rubber or vinyl weatherstripping along the bottom and sides of your garage door. You need it when you can see daylight under the closed door, when the garage floods during winter rain, or when mice and insects are finding their way inside. Carriage House Garage Door Co installs seals as part of full door installation across Irvine, with seal-specific work typically running $120 to $240 depending on door width and seal type.
Bottom Seal Replacement
The bottom seal is a U-shaped rubber channel that compresses against the concrete. Irvine’s dry heat bakes these seals brittle within three to five years. We replace them with commercial-grade EPDM rubber that stays flexible longer than the vinyl strips sold at home centers.
Side and Top Weatherstripping
Gaps at the edges of the door let conditioned air escape and bring dust in. We install perimeter seals and threshold barriers that close the envelope. Your garage stays cleaner, quieter, and closer to the temperature of the rest of the house.
New Garage Door Installation
New Garage Door Installation is a fresh start: a door specified for your home’s opening, style, and how you actually use the garage. You need it when you’ve bought a home with a damaged or ugly door, when you’ve converted the garage into a workspace or gym, or when you want the single biggest curb-appeal upgrade available for under $2,500. Carriage House Garage Door Co in Aliso Viejo Garage Door Installation and Irvine prices new door installation from $700 to $2,200. The price is written down and agreed before we order anything.
Insulated or Not, Decided Honestly
If your garage shares a wall with the living room, insulation matters. If it’s a detached carport, it matters less. We’ll walk through how you use the space, then recommend the right panel, not the most expensive one.
Windows, Hardware, and Finish
Window placement, decorative hinges, handle sets, and paint-ready steel all change the look without changing the budget much. We’ll show you physical samples and photos of doors we’ve installed on similar Irvine homes so you can see the finished result before committing.
Whether you’re replacing a single tired door or specifying doors for a full Irvine renovation, our home page has more on our approach. For a deeper look at how we think about this specific project, see our full Garage Door Installation in Irvine overview.
Brands We Service
We work on your brand, whatever it is. Our technicians are trained and experienced on eight of the industry’s most widely installed brands, which means when we arrive at an Irvine home with a LiftMaster opener, we already know its force profile and sensor layout. There’s no learning curve on your dime.
For Raynor doors, we’ve handled enough of their torsion systems to balance them on the first attempt, not the fourth. The same goes for Genie openers and Chamberlain units, where OEM parts matter more than universal substitutes. Whether you have Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, or any other make, we can help.

- Your door is off its tracks. A door hanging off one rail is a falling hazard and is still under spring tension. Do not try to push it back into place. Call us instead.
- You can see light through the top of the door when closed. This means the door isn’t seating correctly, usually from a shifted track or worn rollers. The fix is usually $120 to $240, but left alone it will pull the whole assembly out of square.
- The door opens a few inches then reverses. That’s often a failing travel module or an obstruction sensor problem on the opener, but it can also signal a binding spring system. Either way, it’s a diagnostic call, not a guess.
- Your garage smells like exhaust even with the door closed. This is a seal failure, and if the garage shares air with the house, it’s a health issue. The seal replacement is cheap; the air quality problem isn’t.
- The door looks visibly bent or dented from the street. In Irvine, the garage is up to 30% of your home’s visible facade. A damaged door is a daily drag on how you feel about your house. Replacement typically starts at $700 and pays back in curb appeal immediately.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Measure and inspect. We measure the opening, check the header, and inspect the existing tracks, springs, and opener. This tells us whether the job is a straight swap or needs conversion work, and lets us give you a fixed written price.
- 2
Recommend, don’t upsell. Based on the opening, your home’s architecture, and how you use the garage, we present options. We’ll tell you when the mid-priced door is the right door, and why.
- 3
Order and schedule. We order the door and hardware, then schedule the install. Most Irvine installations happen within a week or two of your approval, not months out.
- 4
Install and balance. The old door comes out, the new door goes up, the springs are wound to spec, and the tracks are aligned with a level, not by eye. Then we test the opener’s force and travel settings to confirm they match the new door’s weight.
- 5
Walkthrough and clean up. You see the door operate, we show you the safety features, and we haul away the old door and all packaging. You get a straightforward invoice for the amount we quoted. That’s how Neil Stratton runs it.
How Much Does Garage Door Installation Cost in Irvine?
A typical new garage door installation in Irvine runs $700 to $2,200 depending on door size, material, insulation, window options, and hardware. A standard single steel door without windows lands near the lower end. A 16-foot insulated double door with windows, decorative hardware, and a new opener lands near the upper end. Garage door replacement falls within the same range, since the removal labor is roughly offset by not needing new tracks in some cases. Here’s how the line items typically break down:
- New door installation: $700-$2,200
- Opener installation: $250-$550
- Track realignment: $120-$240
- Seal installation: $120-$240
What affects the price: door width and height, steel gauge, insulation R-value, window placement, and whether your existing tracks and opener can be reused. The way to avoid overpaying is to get one written quote that includes removal, haul-away, hardware, and labor. Our free estimate does that. You’ll know the full number before we order anything, and the price is quoted and agreed before any work starts. Call (866) 472-7503.

Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Door Installation in Irvine
Garage door installation is the complete process of fitting a new door to your home’s opening, including measuring, assembly, spring winding, track alignment, and opener integration. A professional installation in Irvine also includes hauling away the old door and confirming the safety sensors and force settings work correctly. It’s not a handyman task, because a door that’s off-balance is dangerous and will fail early.
Most residential garage door installations in Irvine take four to six hours from arrival to final walkthrough. Larger double doors, custom finishes, or jobs that require new tracks or opener rewiring can push toward a full day. We’ll give you a clear time window when we schedule, and we clean up before we leave.
New garage door installation in Irvine typically costs $700 to $2,200 for the door and installation labor. The spread depends on door size, insulation, window options, and whether you’re reusing the existing opener and tracks. Call (866) 472-7503 for an exact quote, it’s free and the price is fixed before we start.
Yes. Carriage House Garage Door Co works on LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor. We’re brand-agnostic, which means our recommendation is based on your home and budget, not on a distributor incentive. We work on your brand, not against it.
If your door is off its tracks, stuck open, or leaving your home unsecured, call us and we’ll get a technician out as quickly as possible. For planned installations and replacements, we schedule within a few business days in most Irvine neighborhoods. If your situation is urgent, say so when you call.
We stand behind our installation workmanship, and the doors we install carry manufacturer warranties that vary by brand and product line. We’ll explain exactly what’s covered, and for how long, before you commit to anything. If a manufacturer ever gives you trouble on a claim, we handle the back-and-forth for you.
Clear the area about four feet back from the garage door on the inside, and move cars out of the driveway for the day. Disconnect anything stored on shelves near the tracks. We handle the rest: removal, clean-up, and haul-away of the old door and packaging are part of the job.
