The typical install: 3 to 5 hours
For a standard single or double door replacement, professional installation usually takes about three to five hours. That includes removing the old door and tracks, installing the new sections, springs, and hardware, mounting and programming the opener, and testing everything for safe, smooth operation.
What can add time
A few situations extend the timeline. Impact-rated doors take a bit more care to install correctly, which is exactly what you want in a hurricane zone.
- Installing a new opener at the same time as the door
- Custom or oversized doors
- Two doors scheduled in one visit
- Repairing or rebuilding the frame
- HVHZ permit inspection coordination
What can keep it quick
- Standard opening size
- Sound framing with no repairs needed
- Reusing a working opener
- Clear, accessible work area
How to prepare for install day
- Clear your car and anything stored against the garage walls
- Make sure the technician can reach the door from inside and outside
- Keep pets and kids away from the work area for safety
- If a permit inspection is required, we will let you know what to expect
