Holy sh## garage doors are expensive!

Two years ago ish I had 4 12x12’s and a 14x12 installed. Uninsulated. Overhead. All new track and seals. Just over 20k. Was the cheapest I found at the time. Foothills Garage Door out of Mount Airy did the work.
 
Theres a big difference in door quality too. I done a lot of research back in 2020 when I built my shop, it was 22' by the time I finished wiring my shop and the door guy came back to verify operation and program controllers. He told me the price of the doors had doubled since I bought mine. But do some research, their are a lot of insulated doors that are not very good quality.

What's the material cost? Install of a sectional door isn't a big deal.

After watching mine go up, I could do it myself.

Unless you're going to put openers on them and raise and lower them multiple times per day, dont sleep in the builders discount ones. 2yrs in, no complaints.
 
I dunno if its an option for you but side / wall-mount openers are awesome. I switched to one when my regular overhead died and the difference in clearance, ease of install plus its so quiet - worth every penny.

Or look at buying it and paying just for the install.
We had a torsion spring break once while I was out of town. I was surprised how inexpensive it was to have a guy come out and replace it.

The only thing thats hard is tightening the spring. And its not hard just unnerving if you think about what could happen if you're not careful and let that thing go. Just need 2 pipes and a set of testicles.

I just had 2 10x10 metal backed insulated doors installed on my metal building. They are the nice completely sealed insulated ones. 2300 each installed. the 12x12 was 3000 installed. I dont have openers yet as i am finishing sheeting the walls first.
 
We had Assa Abloy out of Hickory install doors/side mount openers on our build. I thought their prices were very reasonable. We had 3 - 12x12 insulated doors and 1 - 18x8 door installed. Shoot me a pm if you have any questions.
