If you have ever tried to install your own garage door, you may know the process is a tricky one.  There are a variety of factors that affect how long a residential garage door installation should take.  Though we do not guarantee the time it takes for a residential garage door installation, a well prepared area can mean an installation in just a few hours.  Here are some factors that affect how quickly your installation can be completed:

  • residential garage door installationSize is the biggest factor in the length of time your installation will take.
  • The quickest installation is a new build.  Depending on the size of the door, this can be done in less than 3 hours.
  • If you have a door in place and are replacing it with a door of the same type and size, this installation is relatively quick.  For a roughly 16’ door, this is 3-4 hours.
  • Existing wiring and brackets that are in good condition help to speed up the process.
  • Weather can play a factor, though here in North Carolina this is not usually a problem.
