Garage Door Installation in Perth: Measured, Fitted, Old Door Gone

A standard new garage door installed costs $2,200–$5,500 including GST, with removal of the old door, new tracks and hardware and the fitting included. Commercial, oversized and custom doors start from $5,500. The door type, size, insulation, finish and whether a motor is included decide where in the band your door lands, and the written quote shows each of those as a line so you can compare like with like.

On the day, a like-for-like residential swap is usually finished within the day: old door out, new door in, opener connected and tested. It runs longer if the opening needs building work, if you are changing door type and the tracks and motor position change with it, or if there is no power near the motor and an electrician has to add a point first; we flag all of that at the measure. Between the quote and install day there is a lead time while the maker builds the door to your measurements, and we give you that timeline when we quote.

Yes, on the same visit, and it is included in the price. Leave the old door up for us rather than taking it down yourself: unwinding a wound torsion or drum spring is the riskiest part of the whole job and the one most likely to hurt someone. The old door, its springs and its tracks leave in our van.

Most Australian double garage doors are around 4.8 to 5.0 metres wide and 2.1 to 2.4 metres high, and a single door around 2.4 to 2.5 metres wide at the same heights, but the door is made to the opening you actually have, which is why we measure before we quote. Headroom above the lintel and side room beside it matter as much as the opening itself, because they decide whether a roller door's coil or a sectional door's tracks will fit. Our guide to garage door sizes in Australia lists the common widths and what to measure.

Yes, and most new doors go in with one. A new opener supplied, fitted and programmed with remotes is $750–$1,150, and we match it to the door: roller doors take a drum-mounted motor, sectional and tilt doors take a rail drive on the ceiling. If your existing motor is healthy, suits the new door type and can lift its weight, we re-fit it and set the limits fresh instead, and we quote both ways so you can see the difference.

Repair it if one part has failed on a structurally sound door — a spring, a cable, a set of rollers or a motor board costs a fraction of a new door and gives the door years more service. Replace it when the panels or curtain are rusted through or damaged across several sections, when parts for an old make have dried up, or when the door has needed several repairs in a couple of years. We tell you which side of that line your door sits on at the visit, with no call-out fee either way, and our repairs page covers the same-day fixes.

Yes. We work from the builder's or your opening, measure once the brickwork is up, and where we can we fit the door before the driveway goes in so there is nothing to protect. Widened openings, converting a carport into a garage, and matching a new door to a repainted or rendered front are all regular jobs, and the written quote covers the door, the opener and any work the opening needs.

We supply, install and service Steel-Line, B&D and Centurion Garage Doors — three Australian makers whose roller and sectional ranges come in Colorbond colours — and we fit Merlin, Jaytech, Superlift and Steel-Line openers to drive them. If you already have a door of another make, we repair most of them and say plainly when a part is no longer available.
