How Long Does Garage Door Installation Take?

Updated July 24, 2026

The typical timeline

A standard single garage door installation usually takes about 3-4 hours, and a double door around 4-6 hours. That includes removing and hauling away the old door, installing the new door and tracks, setting the springs, and testing balance and operation.

What adds time

  • Adding or replacing an opener at the same time
  • Repairs to the framing or opening
  • Custom or oversized doors
  • Two doors instead of one

Done right, not just fast

Proper spring sizing, level tracks, and a balanced door are what make it quiet and long-lasting — so we don't rush the parts that matter. Most homes are back to a fully working door the same day. See new door installation or read how to choose a new garage door.

Can you install the opener the same day?

Yes — we can install or replace the opener during the same visit as the door.
