AfterTrusted Garage Door Installation for Irvine Homeowners
A new garage door installation in Irvine typically costs between $700 and $2,200, depending on door size, material, and whether you’re replacing a single or double door. That’s the real price range, and it’s a number we’ll confirm in writing before any work starts. No “call for a quote” games, no discovering the true cost after the door is already off its hinges.
Servo Garage Doors has installed garage doors in Irvine since 2015, and every single job has run on the same system: a written price and written scope delivered before we touch a spring, track, or panel. Marcus Deller runs our Irvine operation, and he’s the same person who codified Clause 4 of The Haven Standard, the rule that says our technicians photograph everything they find before quoting anything. If you’re researching installation options instead of calling the first name on Google, you’re our kind of customer. We’re at home in Irvine, and we answer the phone at (949) 569-5773, 24 hours a day.
What Our Garage Door Installation Service Includes
Installation isn’t one service. It’s six different jobs, each with different tolerances, different measurements, and different failure points. Here’s what each one looks like, and what we do differently on every one of them.
New Door Installation
A New Door Installation means removing the old door, tracks, and hardware, then fitting a door that’s ordered to your opening’s exact measurements. In Irvine, where many homes built between 2015 and 2025 use slightly non-standard garage openings, a measured order matters more than the catalog price. Servo Garage Doors Irvine measures every opening twice before ordering, and installs the door with new tracks, new rollers, and new weatherstripping unless the existing hardware is serviced and compatible. You get the written scope before the order is placed.
Single Car Door
A Single Car Door is typically 8 to 9 feet wide and 7 to 8 feet tall, and it’s the most common installation we do in Irvine’s attached-garage homes, especially in the older neighborhoods around the University Park and Westpark areas. These doors wear unevenly because they’re opened two to three times more often than homeowners estimate. We install single doors with hardware rated for your specific door weight, and we photograph the old track and spring configuration before removal so you see exactly why we’re replacing what we’re replacing.
Double Car Door
A double car garage door spans 16 to 18 feet and carries twice the weight, which means the torsion spring and track system takes on significantly more stress than a single door setup. In Irvine’s warmer climate, double doors on south-facing garages absorb full afternoon sun, which accelerates fatigue in the springs and can warp panels over five to seven years. Our double door installations include spring replacement, track alignment, and a full cycle test under load. We also document the old spring’s wire diameter and coil break pattern before recommending replacement, per Clause 4 of The Haven Standard.
Custom Garage Door
Custom garage doors in Irvine often mean specific dimensions, specific materials, or design requirements from a homeowner’s association, which is common in communities like Woodbridge, Turtle Rock, and Quail Hill. We’ve installed custom doors with non-standard widths, unusual panel configurations, and specific wood finishes that required mill-order lead times. When we build a custom quote, the written price includes the measured opening, the material type and finish, and the expected lead time from order to installation. No “surprise upgrade” at the end.
Steel Doors
Steel doors are the workhorse of Irvine garages, because they hold up to the sun, the occasional coastal marine layer moisture, and the wear from daily open-close cycles better than almost anything else. A quality steel door installation should include panels with a minimum of 25 to 26 gauge thickness and a baked-on finish that won’t fade in Irvine’s direct sun exposure. We install steel doors from Clopay, Amarr, and Wayne Dalton, and we always quote you the gauge of steel, not just the brand name, so you can compare apples to apples if you get another estimate.
Wood Doors
Wood garage doors are a different discipline. They’re heavier, they require different spring ratings, and they move with humidity in ways that steel and aluminum don’t, which matters in Irvine’s coastal-adjacent climate zones. A wood door installation done wrong shows up as warping at the panel joints within the first two years. We install wood doors with spring calculations matched to the actual wood species weight, not a generic chart, and we document the spring wire diameter and coil count before installation so there’s a verifiable record if anything ever needs adjustment.

Brands We Service for Garage Door Installation
We service and install LiftMaster products regularly, and it’s the brand we see most often on Irvine homes built in the last decade. Their openers pair cleanly with new door installations, and we’re familiar with the MyQ logic board and limit switch configurations on their current models. When we install a door that works with a LiftMaster opener, we test the full open-close cycle under load before we leave the driveway, and we include the photo record of that final test in your job file.
Raynor and Chamberlain are the other two brands we install most frequently in Irvine. Raynor doors tend to appear on custom and semi-custom homes, particularly in the hillside communities like Turtle Ridge and Summit Park, and they demand precise spring calibration because of the door weight. Chamberlain openers are workhorses in attached garages, and we’ve installed enough of them to know the trolley carriage setup and travel limit adjustment by heart. Whether you have a Genie, a Clopay, or any other make, we can handle it, and we’ll write the brand and model into your scope before work begins.
BeforeAfterSigns You Need Garage Door Installation Right Now
- The door sags when it’s halfway open. A door that dips in the middle while moving usually means the panels or hinges have fatigued past the point of repair. This puts strain on the tracks and opener motor, which accelerates the need for a full installation rather than a part replacement.
- You can see daylight through the panel joints. Gaps in the panels mean the door has lost structural integrity. In Irvine’s summer heat and winter moisture swings, those gaps will widen, and the door becomes a security risk, not just a cosmetic issue.
- The door makes a cracking sound when it moves. That sound is usually either a failing panel or a track that’s out of alignment. If the track has been bent by a door that shifted, patching it is a temporary fix in a city where garages get used daily, and the cost of repeated visits often exceeds a new installation.
- Your energy bills have been climbing with no other explanation. A garage door that no longer seals properly, particularly on homes in Irvine where garages are attached to the main house, lets conditioned air escape. The weatherstripping and panel alignment define whether your door performs or leaks.
- The door has visible rust or corrosion at the bottom panels. In Irvine’s coastal-influenced air, especially in neighborhoods closer to the 405 corridor where airborne salt and moisture mix with morning fog, rust at the base of a steel door means the panel’s protective coating has already failed. It will not heal. It will only spread upward.
Our Garage Door Installation Process - Step by Step
We don’t surprise anyone. Here’s exactly what happens from the first phone call to the final photo record.
- 1
You call, a person answers. You reach a live person at (949) 569-5773, not a voicemail box. We ask about your door size, current condition, and what prompted the call. We schedule a visit at a time that works for you, and we send a text when the technician is on the way with their name.
- 2
The technician arrives and documents the current door. Before doing anything else, our technician photographs the existing door, track, spring, and opener. You see what they see. If there’s a failed component, like a torsion spring with a clean break at the coil or a track with a visible bend, it’s photographed and shown to you before any recommendation is made.
- 3
You get a written price and scope, in writing, before any work starts. This is Clause 1 of The Haven Standard. The written price includes the door, hardware, spring, labor, and any opener integration. The scope lists what’s being removed, what’s being installed, and what, if anything, is being retained. You sign it or you walk away. There’s no pressure, and there’s no charge for the visit.
- 4
The installation happens with the technician you met. The same background-checked, uniformed technician who measured and quoted the job is the one who installs it. No crew swap. No “different team at a different time.” We remove the old door, install the new one with new hardware, balance the spring to the exact door weight, and test the full cycle under load.
- 5
You receive the documented photo record and warranty. When we leave, you get the photos of what we found, what we installed, and the final tested door. Your written warranty comes with it. That record is yours, and it’s part of every single Servo installation in Irvine, not an add-on you have to request.
How Much Does Garage Door Installation Cost in Irvine?
A typical single car steel door installation in Irvine runs $700 to $1,400, while a double car steel door installation runs $1,200 to $2,200; see our Garage Door Installation cost guide for full pricing details. Custom doors, wood doors, and non-standard sizes fall at the upper end of that range or slightly beyond it, depending on material and order specifications. Those are the prices we write down and hand to you before anything is ordered.
| Installation Type | Typical Irvine Price Range |
|---|---|
| Single Car Steel Door | $700 - $1,400 |
| Double Car Steel Door | $1,200 - $2,200 |

What moves the number is door size, material, insulation level, and whether the old track and spring can be reused or must be replaced. We don’t mark up materials or hide “disposal fees” in the fine print. The price we write is the price you pay, and if we find something after the old door is removed that changes the scope, we stop, document it with a photo, show you, and get written approval before proceeding. You should never overpay for door installation by accepting a verbal estimate or a “call for pricing” model. Our estimates are free, they’re written, and they’re yours to keep even if you decide to go with another company. For the record, if you have another company’s written estimate, bring it in and we’ll give you a free second opinion on it, no coupon required.

Frequently Asked Questions - Garage Door Installation in Irvine
Garage door installation is the removal of an existing garage door and its hardware, followed by the precise fitting and installation of a new door, track system, and spring configuration matched to the opening’s exact dimensions. A proper installation includes spring calibration, track alignment, and a full cycle test under load. In Irvine, where garages serve as daily entry points more than storage spaces, the quality of the installation determines how long the door lasts and how smoothly it operates.
A standard single or double door installation usually takes 4 to 6 hours on site, from removal of the old door to final cycle testing. Custom doors or doors requiring track modifications may run longer. We’ll tell you the expected time in your written scope before the work starts. Call (949) 569-5773 and we’ll give you a realistic timeline for your specific opening.
Most Irvine garage door installations run $700 to $2,200, with single steel doors at the lower end and custom wood doors at the upper end. The exact price depends on door size, material, and whether existing hardware can be reused. We provide a written price and written scope before ordering, so the number you see is the number you pay. Call (949) 569-5773 for an exact written quote, it’s free and there’s no obligation.
Yes, we integrate LiftMaster openers with new door installations regularly, and we’re familiar with the MyQ logic board, limit switch, and trolley carriage configurations on current models. When your new door goes in, we test the opener with the door under load to confirm the travel limits and force settings are correct. If your LiftMaster opener is older and struggling, we’ll include an opener replacement option in your written scope.
If your garage door has come off its track or a spring has snapped and the door won’t open, we answer emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays. A real person answers at (949) 569-5773, and we’ll tell you the soonest we can get a technician to your Irvine home with a name and an on-the-way text. Emergency installation may require an interim repair first to secure the opening before a full install can be scheduled.
Every installation from Servo Garage Doors Irvine carries the 365-Day Done Right Promise, which means if the installation isn’t right within a year, we make it right. The specific product warranty for the door and opener is written into your scope and handed to you with the photo record at the end of the job. We don’t do verbal warranties, and we don’t ask you to trust us, we hand you the paperwork instead.
Clear the area inside the garage about six feet from the door opening, including any vehicles, bikes, or storage that blocks access to the tracks and ceiling. Move anything fragile or valuable away from the work zone. Our technician will handle the rest, including protecting the surrounding area and cleaning up removed hardware and debris before they leave. We’ll tell you anything else specific to your installation when you schedule.
