Picking the door
- Parking close to it? Roller and sectional doors open straight up. An up-and-over swings out, so you need clear space in front.
- Heating the garage, or a room behind it? A sectional door with insulated panels keeps the most heat in.
- Low ceiling or beams? A roller door takes no room inside the garage.
- Using it every day? An electric door needs a socket near the opening and a manual release for power cuts.
- Odd-sized opening? Measure the width, the height and the space above it: a made-to-measure door costs more.

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.
