Sacramento Garage Door Installation

1A Garage Doors installs new residential garage doors across Sacramento and the surrounding cities. A new door estimate is free and starts with an on-site measure, because the door, the track and the springs all have to match the opening and the door weight. Call (916) 838-8182 to set up the measure.

What an installation includes

  • An on-site measure of the opening, headroom, backroom and side clearance.
  • The new door, with track, rollers, hinges and springs sized to that door's weight.
  • Removal and haul-away of the old door and hardware.
  • Opener setup: travel and force limits, safety sensors and the auto-reverse test.
  • A walkthrough of the door, the manual release and the remotes before we leave.

Choosing the door

Three decisions drive most of the price and most of the satisfaction:

  • Material and style. Steel raised-panel, carriage house, modern aluminum and glass, or wood and wood-look. Steel is the common choice here for cost and upkeep.
  • Insulation. An insulated door can reduce heat transfer through the opening and may reduce panel noise. Whole-garage comfort also depends on air sealing and the insulation in shared walls and ceilings.
  • Windows and finish. Compare privacy, daylight, finish upkeep and any HOA requirements before ordering.

Brands we install

Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, CHI and Windsor. If you have a brand or a specific model in mind, tell us when you call and we will quote it. See finished installs in our project gallery.

What it costs and how we quote it

Price depends on the size, the material, whether it is insulated, the window and finish choices, and whether the opener is being replaced at the same time. We measure, show you the options that fit, and give you a written quote. New door estimates are free. Repair visits are different: those carry a $45 diagnostic trip fee.

How long it takes

A standard replacement is normally done in a single visit. Custom sizes, special finishes and doors that have to be ordered take longer, and we give you the lead time with the quote.

Replace or repair

If the door is sound and one part failed, compare the repair quote with replacement before deciding. Replacement makes sense when sections are cracked or rusted through, when the door has been hit, or when several parts are failing at once. Garage door repair.

Openers with a new door

An existing opener must be compatible with the new door and have battery backup to be reused. California also requires battery backup when a replacement residential door is connected to an opener. We check the existing equipment during the estimate and include any required upgrade in the quote. Opener repair and replacement.

Where we install

Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, Citrus Heights, Elk Grove and the rest of our service area.

Is an insulated door worth it in a hot garage?

An insulated door slows the heat moving through the door, but it will not make an unconditioned garage comfortable on its own. If your garage gets hot or is attached to living space, ask about insulated options at your free estimate.
