What Actually Drives Your Installation Price
There is no flat rate for a garage door installation, because no two openings or households want the same thing. Your price depends on the door's size and width, the material and insulation you choose, the hardware and opener that go with it, and what has to happen to your existing track and opening to make it fit. We measure your exact opening and walk through your priorities before writing any number, and that quote is free with no obligation attached.
Before you price a full replacement, it's worth ruling out a repair. If your current door still has sound panels and the problem is a broken spring, a bad opener, or worn rollers, a garage door repair is usually the simpler fix. We tell you honestly when a door is a repair job and when it has reached the point where replacement makes more sense, such as rusted-through steel or hail damage across multiple panels.
What Changes Your Installation Quote
Door size and opening width
A single-car opening takes less material and labor than a double-wide or oversized door, since more panels and more track are involved. We measure your exact opening rather than pricing off a standard size.
Material and insulation
Steel is the most common and most practical option in this climate. Insulated doors with a foam core cost more upfront but help the garage hold heat through Colorado Springs winters, which matters if the garage sits under or beside living space.
Style and panel design
A flat, plain sectional door installs faster and costs less than a carriage-style door with raised panels, windows, or faux hardware. Windows and decorative overlays add to both the door price and the install time.
Opener and hardware add-ons
If your existing opener is old or was not built for the new door's weight, we may recommend replacing it too. If the door itself is fine and only the opener is failing, see our garage door opener repair coverage for that on its own.
Springs, cables, and track condition
Installation pricing assumes new springs sized correctly for the new door, since reusing old springs on a heavier or lighter door is not safe. If your springs need attention but your door does not, our garage door spring replacement page covers that job on its own.
Site conditions and old-door removal
Low headroom, a detached garage, or an old door that has to be cut down and hauled away all add labor time. We account for this during the walk-through so the quote you get matches the job we actually do.
How We Put Together Every Quote
We do not quote installations over the phone or through an online calculator. A technician comes to your home, measures the exact opening, checks headroom and the condition of the existing track, and asks how you use the garage before writing anything down. Nothing is confirmed until you have seen the number and agreed to it.
A standard quote covers the door itself, new hardware, springs sized to the door's weight, and haul-away of the old door. Add-ons like a smart opener upgrade, extra insulation beyond the standard package, or custom window inserts are itemized separately and only included if you want them. Nothing gets added to the job after the fact.
How an Installation Visit Works
- 1
Call and describe your door
Tell us the size, age, and what's wrong, or that you simply want an upgrade, at (719) 428-2549. We can talk through what typically affects a job like yours before anyone comes out.

In-home measurement and quote
A technician measures the exact opening, checks headroom and track condition, and gives you a firm, written quote before ordering anything, free and with no obligation.

Installation and walkthrough
Most single-door installs are finished in one visit. We haul away the old door, balance and test the new one, and walk you through the opener before we leave.
Local Factors That Affect Installation
Colorado Springs sits above 6,000 feet, and steel and weather seals both behave differently up here than at sea level. A hard freeze stiffens rubber weather seal and can make an older door look and feel worse than it actually is, so we check the whole opening before recommending replacement rather than just the door panels.
Hail is the other regional factor. A single summer storm can dent an entire row of steel doors along a street, and homeowners in Hail Alley increasingly ask about impact-rated panels when they replace rather than repair. Newer subdivisions around Briargate and the Powers corridor tend to have standard builder-grade openings, while older homes on the Westside and in Old Colorado City sometimes need a custom-sized door to match a narrower or shorter original opening.
If a storm or a sudden failure leaves your existing door stuck open overnight before a scheduled replacement, our 24 hour garage door service can secure it in the meantime so your home isn't exposed.
I called a few companies and North Star was the only one who actually came out and measured before giving me a number. What they quoted matched the final invoice exactly.Kevin H.
Our old door was original to the house and falling apart. They walked me through steel versus insulated options without pushing the priciest one, and the new door looks and closes better than I expected.Priya S.

How much does it cost to install a new garage door in Colorado Springs?
Your price depends mainly on the size and material you choose, along with hardware and how much work the existing opening needs. We do not price installations over the phone or with a generic calculator: a technician measures your exact opening and gives you a free, no-obligation quote before ordering anything, so the number you approve is the number you pay.
How much is a double garage door installed compared to a single?
A double-wide door costs more than a single because it takes more panels, more track, and stronger springs to support the added weight and lift correctly. Beyond that, the same factors (material, insulation, and hardware) shift the price the same way they do on a single door. We quote each size individually rather than by a flat rule of thumb.
Can a new garage door be installed on old tracks?
Usually no. We install new track sized to the new door's dimensions and weight, since reusing old track can throw off the balance and shorten the life of the new door. It is a small part of the overall job but not one worth skipping.
What is included in a garage door installation quote?
A standard quote covers the door, new hardware, springs sized correctly for the door's weight, and haul-away of your old door. Upgrades like a smart opener, extra insulation, or decorative windows are itemized separately so you only pay for what you actually choose.
Is it smarter to repair or replace a garage door?
Repair is usually the simpler and more affordable route when the door panels themselves are still sound and the problem is a spring, cable, roller, or opener. Replacement makes more sense once the sections are rusted through or hail-damaged across multiple panels, and we tell you honestly which situation you are in before recommending either one.
