Which one?
For a garage you heat or a room behind it, a sectional door. For a low ceiling, a roller. On a budget with space in front, an up-and-over. On a double garage, one wide sectional door. Prices and fitting: garage doors.
Plan your garage renovation
A few quick taps: what your garage needs, what the roof and door cost, and the order to do it in. Contact details come last, and only if you want a price.
Your garage, the door: €1,320 to €2,800.
How the estimate is worked out
Roof and door ranges are what Irish roofers and door companies publish for the same job: the lowest to the highest figure. A double garage roof is its area times the rate for the covering. Floors, walls, windows, insulation and electrics vary too much from garage to garage to price fairly without seeing them, so the builder prices those on a visit.
Questions before you start
Which garage door suits a small garage?
A roller door: it takes no room inside and opens straight up.
Roller or sectional?
Sectional doors are usually better insulated; roller doors take less room inside. Both open straight up.
