Our garage has 2, wood garage doors that are the raised-panel, rolling (not tilting) kind, with fanlight windows which I like very much. They are in plain, square frames, which we just replaced with composite (AZAK) last year. The doors need replacement due to age and wear (the interior wood pieces are actually starting to crack). Just wondering if anyone has experience with getting garage doors replaced. We will not be doing the installation ourselves, even though we know some homeowners do.
The garage is side-entry, and the doors are not seen from the front of the house.
What material would you recommend - wood, steel, or some other material?
What would be a non-ripoff-price for door and installation? I realize labor costs can vary greatly, depending on where you live, but a few examples would be so helpful.
What should we be aware of when contracting to have the doors installed, and what to be aware of during installation?
Thanks for your help!
