A new garage door is one of the best investments you can make for your home.

Whether you're replacing a worn-out door, upgrading to a modern insulated model, or building a new home that needs a garage door, our experienced installation team ensures a perfect fit and flawless operation every time.
Types of Garage Doors We Install
We offer a wide selection of garage door styles and materials to match any home's architecture and your personal preferences. Our installation experts will help you choose the perfect door for your needs and budget.
Steel Garage Doors
Steel doors are the most popular choice among Nashville homeowners for good reason. They offer excellent durability, low maintenance, and come in a vast array of designs, colors, and panel styles. Modern steel doors feature multiple layers of insulation for superior energy efficiency and noise reduction. Whether you prefer a classic raised panel look or a sleek contemporary design, steel doors deliver outstanding performance and value.
Wood Garage Doors
For homeowners seeking a premium, natural aesthetic, wood garage doors are an exceptional choice. Crafted from materials like cedar, redwood, or hemlock, wood doors offer timeless beauty and can be custom-designed to complement any architectural style. While they require more maintenance than steel, the warmth and character of a real wood garage door is unmatched.
Composite and Faux Wood Doors
Composite garage doors give you the stunning appearance of real wood with the low-maintenance benefits of modern materials. These doors resist warping, cracking, and rot, making them an ideal choice for Middle Tennessee's variable climate. They're available in realistic wood grain finishes and can be painted or stained to your preference.
Aluminum and Glass Doors
Modern aluminum and glass garage doors create a striking contemporary look that's increasingly popular in Nashville's newer developments. These lightweight doors feature aluminum frames with frosted, tinted, or clear glass panels, allowing natural light into your garage while maintaining privacy. They're rust-resistant and virtually maintenance-free.

Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Door Installation
The cost of a new garage door installation varies based on the door's size, material, insulation level, and design. A standard single-car steel garage door with installation typically ranges from $800 to $1,500, while a double-car insulated door ranges from $1,200 to $3,000+. Premium wood or custom doors can cost more. F1 Garage Door Repair Inc offers free in-home estimates so you can get an accurate price for your specific project.
A professional garage door installation, including removal of the old door, typically takes 3 to 5 hours for a standard single or double-car garage. Custom installations or situations requiring structural modifications may take longer. Our team works efficiently while maintaining the highest quality standards to minimize disruption to your day.
Consider replacement if your door is more than 15-20 years old, requires frequent repairs, has significant cosmetic damage, lacks insulation, or no longer meets your security needs. If the repair cost exceeds 50% of a new door's price, replacement is usually the more economical long-term choice. Our technicians can help you evaluate whether repair or replacement makes the most sense for your situation.
For Middle Tennessee's hot summers and occasionally cold winters, we recommend insulated steel garage doors with a minimum R-value of 12. These doors help keep your garage cooler in summer and warmer in winter while standing up to the region's occasional severe weather. Doors with wind-load reinforcement are also recommended for added storm protection.
