How a new door goes in
- The opening is measured and the door, color and options chosen.
- You hear the exact price before the door is ordered.
- On the day, the old door comes down and the new tracks, door and springs go in.
- The door is balanced, the opener reconnected and the old door hauled away.
Coastal hardware
New doors in fog and salt air
- Why it matters here
- Coastal fog and low cloud usually form over the ocean first and are pushed onshore through gaps in the coastal hills. A shallow marine layer keeps that damp air right along the coastline. Source: San Francisco Marine Exchange, "Weather in the San Francisco Bay".
- Corrosion
- Coastal air with salt deposition sits in the higher corrosivity classes for steel, so finish and hardware matter as much as the door. Source: ISO 9223:2012, Corrosion of metals and alloys: corrosivity of atmospheres.
- What holds up
- A factory-finished or composite door with nylon rollers and galvanized or stainless hardware.

New door questions
How much does a new garage door cost installed?
A single-car door installed starts from $1,000 and a two-car door from $1,400, with tracks, hardware and haul-away of the old door. Material, insulation, windows and a custom size can raise the price.
What garage door material is best near the ocean?
Galvanized steel with a factory finish, aluminum, or a composite overlay on steel. Bare or untreated steel rusts and real wood swells and needs refinishing in damp salt air. Whatever the door, ask for galvanized or stainless hinges and fasteners.
Should I repair or replace my garage door?
Repair it when one part has failed and the door still runs straight. A common repair starts from $150. Replace it when several sections are damaged, the bottom panels have rusted through, or the repair would cost close to a new door, which starts from $1,000 installed. Coastside Garage Door prices both options on the same visit.
How long does a new garage door installation take?
A standard single-car garage door installation takes four to six hours from start to finish. Double-car doors typically take five to eight hours. Custom or carriage-style doors may require an extra half day if structural modifications are needed. We complete most installations in a single visit so you are not left without a functioning door overnight.
