AfterTrusted Garage Door Installation for McDonough Homeowners
A McDonough Garage Door Installation runs $700 to $2,200 for the door and labor, depending on size, material, and whether you’re replacing an existing door or framing a new opening. That’s the range we quote from, in writing, before any work begins. We’re Servo Garage Doors, an independently owned and operated company under The Haven Standard, and we’ve installed garage doors across Henry County since 2015. Marcus Deller leads our installation team, and every job closes with a documented photo record of what was found and what was done. Call (470) 928-4767 to schedule a free measure and get a written price.
What Our Garage Door Installation Service Includes
Every installation starts with a written scope and a flat price. That’s Clause 1 of The Haven Standard, and it applies whether we’re hanging a Single Car Door on a two-car garage in Lake Dow or building out a custom wood door for a carriage house in Kelleytown. The price you approve is the price you pay. Here’s what each installation type involves.
New Door Installation
This is a full replacement: old door removed, tracks and hardware assessed, new door hung, balanced, and tested. We photograph the existing setup before we quote, per Clause 4, so you see the condition of the rails, springs, and panels rather than taking our word for it. A New Door Installation in McDonough typically runs $700 to $2,200. The written quote covers removal, disposal, installation, and a final photo record.
Single Car Door
A single car door is typically 8 to 9 feet wide and works for most one-car garages and many older McDonough homes in the downtown grid. We carry common single-door sizes from Clopay and Amarr, and we can order custom widths if your opening is non-standard. The install takes about half a day once the door arrives. We balance the torsion spring to the exact door weight before we leave, not just close enough.
Double Car Door
Double car doors, at 16 feet wide in most cases, are the most common installation we do in McDonough’s newer subdivisions like Bridleridge and Summer Lake. These doors weigh anywhere from 300 to 500 pounds, and the spring tension has to be set correctly or the opener burns out early. We include a full balance test and opener compatibility check with every double door install. If your existing opener is undersized for the new door, we’ll note it in the written scope before you commit.
Custom Garage Door
Custom doors are for non-standard openings, specific architectural styles, or homeowners who want something beyond what’s sitting in a distributor’s warehouse. We’ve ordered custom steel doors with modified window layouts for Craftsman-style homes off McGarity Road and custom wood doors for properties in the Eagles Landing area. Custom work adds lead time, usually 3 to 6 weeks for manufacturing, and the price reflects the fabrication. We still quote it flat and in writing before the order is placed.
Steel Doors
Steel doors are the workhorse of McDonough garages: they handle the humidity, they’re affordable, and the insulated models hold up to the Georgia heat. We install both single-layer and insulated steel doors, and we’ll show you the R-value difference before you choose. A standard steel door install runs $700 to $1,400 in McDonough. If you want windows added to the top section, that’s quoted separately up front.
Wood Doors
Wood doors are the premium option, and McDonough’s higher-end neighborhoods have plenty of them. They need a different install approach: heavier sections, reinforced tracks, and sometimes a larger spring wire diameter to carry the weight. We photograph every step of a wood door install because the documentation matters more when the material cost is higher and the weight requires precision. Wood door installation runs $1,500 to $2,200 depending on wood species and finish.

Brands We Service for Garage Door Installation
We install doors from Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, and Raynor, and we’re familiar with the installation specs for each. Clopay doors are common across McDonough because their distribution runs strong through Atlanta; we know their track profiles and their spring weight charts. Amarr doors show up frequently in HOA-governed communities where the covenants specify a particular panel design. When you send us your HOA requirements, we match the door to the approved spec instead of installing something the board rejects.
We also install LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers to pair with your new door, and Craftsman openers are still on plenty of McDonough garage ceilings. If you have a Raynor door that needs replacement, we’ll match the existing track system or convert it to standard hardware. Our home service covers all of Henry County, and whether you have a LiftMaster opener or a Chamberlain, the install process is documented from start to finish.
BeforeAfterSigns You Need Garage Door Installation Right Now
- The door is visibly sagging or leaning in the opening. This usually means the frame or the door itself has structural damage, not just a hinge problem. In McDonough’s clay-heavy soil, foundation shifts put doors out of square, and shimming a warped door buys months, not years.
- You’ve replaced springs, cables, and rollers within the last three years and the door still runs rough. At some point, the door’s underlying geometry is the problem. A door that’s been patched four times costs more in repeat repairs than one clean install. We’ll photograph the wear points before recommending replacement.
- The bottom panel is rusted or rotted through. McDonough’s summer humidity accelerates rust on steel doors that sit under a southern exposure or near a sprinkler head. If the bottom section is gone, the door’s weight shifts and the springs work unevenly. Replacing just the panel runs $250 to $500; if the rails and hardware are also worn, a full install is the better spend.
- You bought the home between 2015 and 2025 and the garage door is the only original exterior feature. Doors from 2005 or earlier are often uninsulated, loud, and incompatible with modern opener safety sensors. A new door with a new opener brings the garage up to the same condition as the rest of the house.
- The door has a crack or split in a panel that’s spreading. On steel doors, a small dent can turn into a rust point. On wood doors, a hairline crack absorbs moisture and widens. Once a panel loses structural integrity, the whole door’s balance changes and the spring life shortens. We’ll tell you if the damage is panel-only or full-door.
Our Garage Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measure and scope. We come to your McDonough home and measure the opening, check the frame for square, and photograph the existing door and hardware. The written scope includes the door size, material, insulation level, opener compatibility, and the flat price. You approve it before anything is ordered.
- 2
Order and schedule. In-stock doors go in within days; custom or special-order doors take 3 to 6 weeks. We give you the install date in writing. No “we’ll call you when it’s in” ambiguity.
- 3
Removal and prep. The old door is removed, the tracks inspected, and the mounting points checked. If the frame shows rot or movement, we photograph it and tell you before proceeding. Clause 4 applies here too: you see what we see.
- 4
Installation and balance. The new door is hung, the torsion spring wound to the door’s exact weight, and the opener tested for travel and force settings. A door that’s not balanced burns through springs and openers. We test it with the opener disconnected to confirm the door holds at mid-height before we call it done.
- 5
Documentation and walkthrough. You get a photo record of the completed install, a copy of the written scope, and the warranty terms for the door and the installation. Marcus Deller signs off on every install; if anything isn’t right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies.
How Much Does Garage Door Installation Cost in McDonough?

What moves the price: door size, insulation level, window inserts, hardware grade, and whether we’re pulling a permit for a new opening. McDonough requires a building permit for a new door opening, but a like-for-like replacement typically doesn’t need one. We handle the permit paperwork if your project requires it.
How to avoid overpaying: get the price in writing before work starts. That’s not a favor; it’s Clause 1 of The Haven Standard. If another company gives you an estimate, bring it in and we’ll give you a Free Second Opinion on it. No coupon, no code. The estimate includes removal, disposal, installation, balance test, and the documented photo record. The price you approve is the price you pay, and it’s quoted before any work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions - Garage Door Installation in McDonough
Garage door installation is the removal of an old door and the mounting, balancing, and testing of a new one, including tracks, springs, and hardware. In McDonough, it also includes checking that the frame is square and that the opener’s force settings match the new door’s weight. We provide a written scope and flat price before any work starts, and a photo record when the job is done.
A standard single or double door installation takes half a day to a full day once the door is on site. Custom and wood doors take longer due to manufacturing lead time, typically 3 to 6 weeks. Permits for new openings can add a few days to the timeline, and we handle that paperwork for you.
Standard steel door installation runs $700 to $1,400 for a single door and $900 to $1,800 for a double. Wood doors run $1,500 to $2,200. Every quote is flat and written before work begins, per Clause 1 of The Haven Standard. Call (470) 928-4767 for an exact price on your door size and material.
We service and install LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor products. We match the opener to the door’s weight and balance it after installation so the opener isn’t working against the door. If your existing opener is compatible, we’ll tell you; if it’s undersized, we’ll write it in the scope before you commit.
Yes. If your door is stuck open, secured with a fallen door, or your home is exposed, we answer calls 24/7 and can dispatch a technician to McDonough same-day. A real person answers, not a recording. Emergency replacement pricing is still flat and written before work begins, and we photograph the condition before quoting.
Your new door carries the manufacturer’s warranty, and our installation is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise. If the install isn’t right, we make it right within a year. You also receive a written warranty document and a photo record of the completed install so there’s no dispute about what was done.
Clear the garage floor about six feet back from the door so we have room to work and lay out the new sections. Move cars out of the garage, and if you have a security system sensor on the door, let us know in advance. We handle the old door removal and disposal as part of the flat price. Nothing else required on your end.
