Custom garage door costs can vary from quite reasonable to “OMG! Seriously?” The goal is to arrive toward the more reasonable end of that scale. However, adding a custom garage door to your home can increase home value. When weighing the cost against the advantages, it makes the expense a worthwhile investment. Let’s look at some of the considerations when designing a custom garage door.
Factors That Determine Custom Garage Door Costs
Unfortunately, we can’t just plop a figure out there and tell you that a custom garage door will cost a specific amount. The truth is that many factors go into cost determinations, so the amount of variance can be pretty broad. Some of the things that factor in:
- Size of the door/number of panels
- Design complexity
- Type of wood selected
While there is more, those are the basic cost factors. The size of the door matters. A two-panel door on a one-car garage is less expensive than a six-panel door on a three-car garage. Design complexity refers to how elaborate a design is selected. The more bells and whistles, the more expensive the door will be.
One of the major determining factors is the choice of wood used in the construction of your door. A pine or white oak door is more affordable than a mahogany door. At Whitaker, we offer many selections in the type of wood:
- Pine
- Ash
- White Oak
- Ipe
- Knotty Cedar
- Western Red Cedar
- Sapele
- Mahogany
