What Our Garage Door Installation Service Includes
Every installation Servo does in Arlington starts the same way: we measure the opening, check the framing, inspect the existing track and hardware, and then hand you a written scope and a flat price. You know what the door costs, what the labor costs, and what the warranty covers before we order anything. No surprises on the invoice, no “while we’re in there” upsells. Here’s what each type of installation involves.
New Door Installation
New Door Installation means removing your existing door, track, and hardware, then building a complete system from the floor up. Homeowners often need this when a door is more than 20 years old, when panels are dented beyond panel replacement, or when the cost of repeated repairs approaches a third of a new door’s price. Servo Garage Doors Arlington handles the full job: disposal of the old door, new track, new torsion springs matched to door weight, and a new opener only if you want one. You get a written scope before we order anything, and a photo record of the finished work the day we leave.
Single Car Door
A Single Car Door is typically 8 to 9 feet wide and works with a single garage bay, common in Arlington’s older neighborhoods like Dalworthington Gardens and central Arlington. These doors are lighter than doubles, which means spring selection matters more: an over-sprung single door jerks open and wears rollers fast. We match the torsion spring wire diameter and coil count to the exact door weight, because that’s what determines whether the door balances or fights you. Single door installation usually falls between $700 and $1,300 for steel, and we quote it flat before any work starts.
Double Car Door
A double car door spans 16 feet on most homes built in Arlington since the 1990s, and that width changes the engineering: you need a stiffer track system and often two torsion springs working together. If one of those springs is weak or mismatched, the opener motor works against an unbalanced door and burns out early. Servo sizes both springs to the door, not to what’s easiest to stock on the truck. Double door installation in Arlington generally runs $1,200 to $2,200, and you’ll see that number in writing before we order the door.
Custom Garage Door
A custom garage door is any door that isn’t a standard size or style, which includes arched openings, carriage house designs, full-view glass, or dimensions cut to fit an irregular opening. In Arlington’s custom-home pockets, such as Interlochen in north Arlington, these jobs need field measuring and often a 2 to 4 week lead time for fabrication. We photograph the opening, document the existing framing, and submit the exact measurements to Clopay, Amarr, or Wayne Dalton, depending on what you want. The price is quoted in writing, and the scope includes the lead time, so you know when the door arrives and when we’ll install it.
Steel Doors
Steel doors are the most common choice in Arlington because they handle the hail season and the July heat without warping, as long as the gauge is thick enough. We recommend 24-gauge or thicker steel for Arlington’s climate, because the thin 27-gauge panels sold at big-box stores dent when a hailstone or a stray basketball hits them. Servo installs steel doors from Clopay, Amarr, and Wayne Dalton, and we’ll show you the gauge specs in the written quote, not just a model name. Steel door installation starts around $700 and tops out near $1,800 for insulated double doors.
Wood Doors
Wood doors are a different animal in Arlington’s humidity swings: solid wood expands and contracts, so the panels, the hinges, and the seal along the bottom all need more adjustment than steel. A wood door is also heavy, sometimes 400 pounds or more, which means heavier track, stronger springs, and a more careful installation. We tell customers before we quote that wood doors in Tarrant County require seasonal maintenance: re-sealing the bottom panel and checking the finish, because Arlington’s summers bake the stain. If you want wood, we install it right, but you’ll hear the maintenance truth from us before you sign anything.

BeforeAfterBrands We Service for Garage Door Installation
We install and service LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor. That doesn’t mean we’re “certified by all eight” and printing logos on a van: it means we’ve installed enough of each to know which models have solid logic boards, which springs ship at the right tension, and which ones we’d spend our own money on.
LiftMaster and Chamberlain share a parent company, and we’ve installed hundreds of their openers and doors across Arlington. The LiftMaster 8500 series wall-mount is one we recommend often for Arlington homes with high ceilings or a car lift, because it frees the center of the garage. Genie makes a solid belt-drive opener at a fair price, and we’ll show you the model’s decibel rating in the quote if noise matters to you, which it does when there’s a bedroom above the garage. Clopay and Amarr are our two most-installed steel door brands; we know their R-value ratings for Arlington’s heat, and we’ll tell you when paying for more insulation is worth it and when it isn’t. Whether you have one of these brands or any other make, we can install it, and we’ll quote it in writing.
Signs You Need Garage Door Installation Right Now
- Visible damage to multiple panels. When two or more panels are dented or cracked, patch jobs cost more than the door is worth. A single panel replacement runs $250 to $500 in Arlington; three panels puts you past $750, which is new-door territory. If your door took a hit from the May hail storms and the panels look like a golf ball, it’s time to price a new door.
- The door shakes or jerks while operating. Shaking usually means the track is out of alignment or the springs are failing. What starts as a wobble becomes a full derailment when a roller pops out, and a derailed door is a heavy steel hazard. If you can hear the door more than you can feel the house, something structural is wrong.
- The door is 20 years old and the springs are due. Torsion springs last about 10,000 cycles, which is 7 to 10 years for most Arlington families. If your door is on its second or third set of springs, the track and panels have the same fatigue. A new door with a matched spring set is often cheaper than another spring replacement plus new rollers plus new cables.
- Headroom or garage layout changed. If you’ve added a car lift, raised the ceiling, or converted part of the garage, the old door may not clear the new layout. A wall-mount opener from LiftMaster and a new high-lift track can solve it, but the door itself often needs replacement to match. We’ll measure and tell you what’s possible before you buy anything.
- Water damage along the bottom panel. Arlington’s spring storms push water under doors that don’t seal, and the bottom panel soaks it up. Once the steel or wood starts to rot or rust, every cycle bends it a little more. A new door with a proper bottom seal and strip solves the leak at the source.
Our Garage Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
Measure and document. Marcus Deller or one of our background-checked technicians arrives and measures the opening, the headroom, the side room, and the backroom. We photograph the existing door, the track, the springs, and any damage. This is Clause 4 of The Haven Standard in practice: the failed or worn component gets photographed before anything is quoted.
- 2
Written scope and flat price. We hand you a written scope that lists the door model, gauge, insulation rating, spring size, track type, and labor. The price is flat, not “estimated.” If the number changes on install day, that’s on us, not you. You sign nothing until you’ve read it, and we’ll leave the copy with you.
- 3
Order and schedule. Standard steel doors are usually in our Arlington warehouse or available from Clopay or Amarr within 3 to 5 business days. Custom doors, wood doors, and odd-size openings run 2 to 4 weeks. We give you the lead time in writing at the quote stage, and we call when the door is on the truck, not after it’s delayed.
- 4
Installation. The old door comes out, the new track goes in, and the torsion springs are wound to the exact balance of the new door weight. If you ordered a new opener, that goes in next. The work takes 4 to 6 hours for most single and double doors. We run a full cycle test: open, close, balance at half-open, auto-reverse test on the opener.
- 5
Photo record and walkthrough. Before we leave, we photograph the finished installation: the door, the springs, the track, the opener, and the seal. You get that photo record along with the written warranty. If anything isn’t right, the 365-Day Done Right Promise covers it, in writing, not as a verbal guarantee.
How Much Does Garage Door Installation Cost in Arlington?
A standard single steel door installation in Arlington runs $700 to $1,300. A double steel door runs $1,200 to $2,200, depending on insulation rating, window inserts, and opener replacement. See our Garage Door Installation cost guide for full pricing details. Custom wood doors and full-view glass doors start around $1,800 and go up from there, because the door itself is built to order.
The main factors are door size, steel gauge, insulation R-value, and whether you’re replacing the opener at the same time. A new opener adds $250 to $550 if you’re already doing the door, and installing both at once is cheaper than doing them a year apart. We quote the door, the labor, the haul-away, and any opener work as one flat price.
How to avoid overpaying in Arlington: get the gauge and insulation rating in writing, ask what the spring warranty is, and confirm the old door’s disposal is included. We include haul-away in every installation, and we’ll show you the line item. A free estimate from Servo means a written price, not a verbal range. If another company gave you a written estimate, bring it in and we’ll give you a free second opinion, no coupon required.

Frequently Asked Questions - Garage Door Installation in Arlington
Garage door installation means removing the existing door, track, and hardware and installing a complete new system matched to your opening. It includes the door panels, track, torsion springs, rollers, cables, and usually a new bottom seal, plus disposal of the old door. Servo quotes the full job in writing before any work starts.
Most standard steel door installations take 4 to 6 hours on site, from removal to final cycle test. Custom doors and wood doors require 2 to 4 weeks of lead time for fabrication, then a day for installation. We give you the lead time in the written scope, so you can plan around it.
A single steel door installation in Arlington runs $700 to $1,300, and a double door runs $1,200 to $2,200. Custom wood and full-view glass doors run higher, usually $1,800 and up. The price depends on door size, steel gauge, insulation, and whether you’re replacing the opener. Call (682) 452-1782 for a written quote, not a verbal range.
Yes, we install and service all four, plus Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor. We’ve installed hundreds of LiftMaster openers across Arlington and we know which Clopay steel gauges hold up to hail. If you have a brand preference, we’ll quote that brand in writing; if you don’t, we’ll recommend based on your opening and your budget.
Same-day installation isn’t realistic for a new door, because the door is measured, ordered, and sized to the opening. Repairs and emergency issues we handle same day, with 24/7 live phone coverage. For installation, we schedule a measure, get you a written quote, and then order the door; most steel doors are in within a week. Call (682) 452-1782 to get the measure on the calendar.
Every installation is backed by the 365-Day Done Right Promise: if the installation isn’t right, we make it right, in writing. The door itself carries the manufacturer’s warranty, and the springs carry their own cycle rating, which we document in the quote. You leave with a written warranty and a photo record of the work.
Clear the garage floor for about 10 feet back from the door, and move cars out of the driveway so we can stage the new door and track. If you have items stored along the walls where the track runs, pull them out of the way. We’ll handle the rest: old door removal, disposal, and a clean sweep when we leave.
