What changes the price?
Garage doors are rarely one-size-fits-all. These six factors have the biggest impact on what you’ll pay.

Roller, sectional, tilt or custom each sit in different price bands.
Door size
Single, double and oversized openings – bigger doors cost more.
Automation
Motor type, remotes and smart control systems all affect price.
Materials & finishes
Colorbond®, timber-look, cladding and architectural finishes.
Site conditions
Access, headroom, framing and installation complexity.
Existing door removal
Removing and disposing of your old door for replacement projects.
Why sectional doors cost more.
Both styles share similar color and timber-look finishes. Sectionals cost more due to their multi-panel construction and tracking hardware.

Spend money where it matters.
Most homeowners don’t need the most expensive garage door. They need the right door for their home – the right balance between appearance, functionality and budget.
If the door is front-facing and visible from the street, it’s usually worth spending on the finish – that’s where street appeal lives. If the door is tucked down the side of the house, a well-built standard roller door does the job perfectly.
We’d rather quote you on the right door for your home than sell you the most expensive one we can.
