Fast, Reliable Garage Door Installation Across Irving
A new garage door installation in Irving typically runs $700-$2,200 and is completed in one day, with most jobs finished before dinner. We serve all Irving ZIP codes - 75014, 75015, 75016, 75017 - and the surrounding corridors from our Houston base, with crews routing through the metro daily.
Irving’s garage market is split in a way you won’t find in Carrollton, Coppell, or anywhere else in DFW. West and north Irving still holds thousands of 1960s-70s ranch homes with original single-car garages and aging tilt-up hardware. Las Colinas packs modern townhomes where developers squeezed ceiling height out of the garage to add it upstairs. A door company that understands only one of those worlds will waste your time and their own. We’ve installed doors in both since 1984. Call (888) 390-3671 for a free estimate, or keep reading to see how we handle each Irving environment.

Our Garage Door Installation Services in Irving
New Door Installation
A new door installation in Irving starts with measuring what you actually have, not what a catalog assumes. In the older neighborhoods off Story Road and Pioneer Drive, we regularly find rough openings that have settled with the shifting Blackland Prairie clay, racking the frame out of square. We shim and reframe as needed before the door goes in. In Las Colinas, we measure headroom to the half-inch - standard torsion-spring setups need roughly 10 inches of clearance, and many MacArthur Boulevard corridor townhomes simply don’t have it. Our Garage Door Installation team plans for that before the truck leaves Houston.
Single Car Door
Single-car garages dominate west and north Irving’s 75060-75062 ZIPs. Many still run original tilt-up hardware that hasn’t been manufactured in decades. Replacing these with modern sectional doors means new track, new spring hardware, and often new jambs - the attachment points for tilt-up hardware don’t align with sectional requirements. We quote that work flat, upfront, before we touch a bolt. Typical single-car installation in Irving runs $700-$1,400 depending on insulation, window placement, and whether the opening needs reframing.
Double Car Door
Double-car doors in Irving face the same clay-soil settling that single-car doors do, but with more width to rack and more weight to stress the hardware. We see this often in the 1970s subdivisions between Rochelle Road and Shady Grove. A 16-foot door that’s even half an inch out of square will bind, wear rollers prematurely, and eventually throw a cable. We check the opening with a laser level and address the frame before hanging the door. Most double-car installations in Irving fall between $1,200-$2,200.
Custom Garage Door & Wood Doors
Custom work is where Irving’s two garage worlds converge. In Las Colinas, we fit carriage-house overlays and stained-wood doors to townhome associations with strict architectural guidelines. In the older ranch neighborhoods, homeowners upgrading from flat steel often want a Craftsman or Spanish Colonial look to match a recent exterior renovation. We recently replaced a warped 16-foot carriage-house wood door in a Las Colinas townhome off MacArthur Boulevard. The low headroom forced us to install a LiftMaster 8500W jackshaft opener with a low-headroom conversion bracket to clear the finished ceiling above, refacing the existing stained-wood overlay to keep the custom look intact. Custom and wood door installations in Irving typically start around $1,800 and run higher depending on species, insulation, and hardware.

Trusted Brands We Service in Irving
We stock and install Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, and Genie products from our Houston inventory, with parts available for same-day or next-day turnaround in Irving. Clopay’s Gallery and Canyon Ridge collections are popular for carriage-house custom jobs in Las Colinas. Amarr’s Stratford and Hillcrest lines fit the budget-conscious replacement market in west Irving. Wayne Dalton’s TorqueMaster spring system appears in some 1990s Irving builds, and we carry conversion hardware when those systems fail. Genie openers are our go-to for reliable chain and belt drive in standard-clearage installs, and we spec their wall-mount models for low-headroom conversions.
Common Garage Door Installation Problems We See in Irving Homes
- Slab settling from expansive clay soil. Irving sits on the Blackland Prairie, where clay swells in wet seasons and contracts in drought. We’ve measured garage slabs that shifted three-quarters of an inch between spring and fall. That racking throws doors out of alignment, breaks weather seals, and eventually snaps springs. We check slab level as part of every install quote.
- Obsolete tilt-up hardware in older single-car garages. The 1960s-70s ranch homes off Story Road and Pioneer Drive often have tilt-up doors with side-spring hardware that hasn’t been made since the Reagan administration. Modern sectional doors require completely different attachment points. We quote the full conversion - jambs, track, springs - so there’s no surprise mid-job.
- Low-clearance Las Colinas garages spec’d for standard hardware. Townhome developers near MacArthur Boulevard and O’Connor Road routinely finished ceiling height into living space, leaving garages with 8 feet or less total height and minimal headroom. Standard torsion-spring assemblies physically don’t fit. We stock jackshaft operators and low-headroom conversion brackets specifically for this.
- Hail-damaged panels needing matched replacement. Spring hail across the DFW corridor dents and cracks door panels. For older Amarr and Clopay models in Irving, we match color and embossing from current production lines when possible, or quote full-door replacement when the model is discontinued.

FAQs - Garage Door Installation in Irving
The expansive clay soil beneath Irving’s garage slabs swells when saturated, then contracts during dry spells. That cycling shifts the slab and racks the door frame, causing binding and seal failure. We check slab level during every install and can shim or reframe as needed. Call (888) 390-3671 for a free inspection - estimates are free.
Usually not. Many Las Colinas townhomes near MacArthur Boulevard and O’Connor Road were built with minimal headroom to maximize living-space ceiling height. Standard torsion-spring and opener rail assemblies need roughly 10 inches of clearance that simply doesn’t exist. We regularly install jackshaft side-mount operators and low-headroom conversion brackets in these garages. Call (888) 390-3671 and we’ll measure your clearance.
Yes. We install stained wood, composite overlay, and steel carriage-house designs from Clopay and Amarr, with custom hardware and window packages. These are popular in Las Colinas associations with architectural guidelines and in older Irving neighborhoods where homeowners are upgrading curb appeal. Custom installations in Irving typically start around $1,800. Call (888) 390-3671 for a free design consultation.
We match the panel from current production when possible. For obsolete models - common on 1960s-70s doors off Story Road and Pioneer Drive - we quote full-door replacement with modern sectional hardware, since tilt-up hardware is no longer manufactured. We state the price upfront before any work begins. Call (888) 390-3671 for a free second opinion on any written estimate.
Clay soil settling racks the door frame, forcing springs to pull unevenly. That uneven load fatigues the steel faster than normal cycling. Irving’s temperature swings between summer highs and winter lows also stress spring metal. We use properly rated springs for your door weight and check frame squareness during every install to maximize spring life. Call (888) 390-3671 for $50 off any repair over $250.
