New garage door installation replaces the door, its springs, tracks and seals as one balanced system. A new door has its own weight, and the springs must be sized to it; DASMA warns that a spring that does not suit the door cuts its cycle life and can make hand operation unsafe. DASMA adds that the old track rarely suits a new door, since the two are designed as a pair.

The main choices are steel, insulated steel, wood or composite, and aluminum with glass. Clopay describes an insulated steel door as a foam core sandwiched between steel skins, rated from R-6 to above R-20. DASMA explains that an R-value is calculated for one door section while a U-factor comes from testing the whole door, so the two cannot be compared. Seals and joints count as much as the foam.

We measure the opening and headroom, remove the old door with its spring tension released, fit the new tracks, matched springs and weather seals, and adjust the opener. We test balance and safety reversal before we leave.

When a New Door Makes More Sense

The door is dented, split or rotting along the bottom.
With the door closed, daylight shows around the edges.
More than one section is damaged.
The door shakes on its way up and the opener struggles.
The same repair keeps coming back every few months.
You want a new look, or better insulation against the heat.

Choosing a Door for 95-Degree Summers

Heat drives the choice of door here. Love Field averages about 108 days a year at 90°F or higher, with an average summer high of 95.5°F, so an attached garage that shares a wall with living space benefits from an insulated door and tight seals. Because DASMA's U-factor is measured on the whole door, we compare tested figures where the maker publishes them. Dallas's permit page does not name garage doors, so we confirm with the city before we order a replacement, especially in a historic or conservation district.

From Measuring to the First Opening

Step 1

Tell us what you need

A person answers, learns about the opening, the current door and the features you want, and arranges a visit.

Step 2

Measure and quote

We measure the opening and headroom, check the opener and review door options. You leave the visit with a written price for each door you liked.

Step 3

Remove and install

The crew releases the old springs' tension, takes down the old door, and fits the new tracks, springs, door and seals. We adjust the opener for the new weight.

Step 4

Test and explain

We check balance and full travel, test the opener's safety reversal and photo-eyes, and go over the care the door needs.

Questions About Buying a New Door

Is an insulated door worth it with Dallas summers?

Often yes for an attached garage. Clopay describes an insulated door as a foam core between steel skins, rated from R-6 to above R-20, and says it resists dents better. Love Field averages about 108 days a year at 90°F or higher. A detached, unheated garage gets less from insulation.

R-value or U-factor: which rating should we compare?

DASMA says R-value is calculated for a single door section and U-factor is tested on the whole installed door, including joints, hardware and seals. The two are not comparable and are not reciprocals. A lower U-factor means better insulation, while a higher R-value does.

Does the city want a permit for a garage door replacement?

The City of Dallas permit page does not name garage doors, so ask Building Inspection before you order, and ask whether your property is in a historic or conservation district, where extra approval can apply. Highland Park and University Park have their own offices. We tell you what we plan to install so you can ask the right question.

Can the old springs and opener stay with the new door?

Usually not the springs. DASMA says the spring must match the weight of the door it lifts, and a new door rarely weighs what the old one did. An opener can often be reused if it was made after 1993, has working photo-eyes and is sized for the new door.

Which door materials can we choose from?

Common choices are steel, insulated steel, wood or composite, and aluminum frames with glass. Steel is the most common, and Clopay says insulated steel offers better energy efficiency, quieter operation and dent resistance than a single layer of steel. We show you the options that fit your opening and style.
