What Our Garage Door Installation Service Includes
Garage door installation is not a one-sku job. The right door depends on the opening size, the framing, the weight of the existing hardware, and what the homeowner actually wants: a plain steel door, a wood-look carriage house door, a custom fit for an older Tarzana ranch with a non-standard opening. Here’s what we install and how we approach each job.
New Door Installation
A new door installation means removing the existing door, tracks, and hardware, then installing a complete new system sized to the opening. We replace the panels, hinges, rollers, tracks, and the bottom seal, and we reuse or replace the opener based on what the door needs. Servo Garage Doors Tarzana measures every opening before ordering, so the door arrives sized correctly and the technicians aren’t fabricating shims on site. New door installation in Tarzana runs $700-$2,200 depending on the door line and opening size.
Single Car Door
Single car doors are the most common replacement in Tarzana’s older neighborhoods, where many homes built between the 1970s and 1990s still have their original 9×7 or 8×7 door. We stock and order single car doors from Clopay and Amarr in steel and wood-look finishes, and we’ll put the written price in front of you before the door is ordered. Most single doors come and go in one working day, including removal of the old door and disposal of the scrap.
Double Car Door
Double car doors are 16 feet wide and weigh significantly more than a single, which means the torsion spring system has to be specified correctly for the extra weight. We measure the opening, weigh the door spec, and match the spring gauge and track radius to the door, not the other way around. A double door installation in Tarzana is typically a one-day install with a two-person crew, because the sections are heavy enough that moving them safely requires two sets of hands.
Custom Garage Door
Custom garage doors come up when the opening is non-standard: an older Tarzana property with a carriage house, a mid-century home with an extra-wide or extra-tall opening, or a homeowner who wants a specific wood species and window layout. We order custom doors through Clopay and Amarr’s custom programs, with lead times that range from a few weeks up to eight weeks depending on the door. We quote the door, the lead time, and the installation cost separately so there’s no ambiguity in the written scope.
Steel Doors
Steel doors are the default choice for most Tarzana homes because they’re affordable, low maintenance, and they hold up to the valley heat without warping. We install steel doors from Clopay and Wayne Dalton in multiple insulation levels, from a basic single-layer door up to a quiet triple-layer door with a steel backer. If your door faces the afternoon sun on a west-facing Tarzana street, we’ll usually recommend a lighter color and an insulated core to keep the garage from turning into an oven.
Wood Doors
Wood doors carry a premium because the material changes with weather and humidity, and a well-built wood door needs a frame that’s straight and a spring system that’s set correctly for the heavier weight. We install solid wood and wood composite doors through Amarr and Clopay, and we’ll specify a spring and track package that accounts for the weight. In Tarzana’s dry summers and wet winters, a wood door will expand and contract, so we set the tracks with enough tolerance for movement and we document the final clearance in the photo record.

Brands We Service for Garage Door Installation
We install Clopay doors more than any other brand because their residential lines offer the widest range of door weights, panel profiles, and insulation options without jumping into custom pricing. Clopay’s insulated steel doors, in particular, hold up to the San Fernando Valley heat without the panel oil-canning you sometimes see on lower-gauge steel. We know their hinge and roller specs well enough to order the right part the first time.
We also install Amarr, Wayne Dalton, and Craftsman. Amarr is our go-to for carriage house styling and wood-look steel doors that don’t require the maintenance of actual wood. Wayne Dalton has good options in the mid and entry price range for basic steel doors, and we’ve installed enough of the Craftsman line from Sears-era homes across Tarzana that we can tell you within a few minutes whether the door is worth reusing or better off replaced. Whether you have one of these brands or any other make, we can help.
BeforeAfterSigns You Need Garage Door Installation Right Now
- Visible rot or rust on the lower panels. If the bottom panels have rusted through or rotted at the frame line, water is getting in and the door is losing structural strength. In a coastal-adjacent climate like Tarzana’s, salt air and valley dust will eventually eat through a 25-year-old steel door, and replacing the whole thing is usually cheaper than chasing panel repairs every year.
- The door sags or flexes when it moves. A door that visibly twists or droops mid-travel has either a spring that’s undersized or panels that are delaminating. That flex puts extra stress on the hinges and opener, and it only gets worse. We’d rather spec a new door with a correctly matched spring than keep patching a door that’s working against itself.
- Impact damage from a car or delivery truck. Tarzana driveways are narrow, and a door that’s been hit by an SUV will usually have bent tracks, cracked panels, or a twisted frame. If the panel damage is more than cosmetic, the door’s collapse risk is real and the safe fix is a full replacement. This is also when the opener and spring system should be checked as a unit, not as separate parts.
- The door’s insulation is gone and the garage is unusable in summer. An uninsulated or broken-down door can make a Tarzana garage 20 degrees hotter than outside in July and August. If you can feel heat radiating through the door, a new insulated steel door will change the room’s usability. We install insulated doors for homeowners who want a garage that doesn’t bake whatever’s stored in it.
- You’re replacing the door one panel at a time. When the first two panel replacements cost enough to be most of a new door, the math is done. We’ll often show homeowners the comparison on a written quote: a $420 panel replacement today, a $480 panel replacement in six months, and a $1,200 door that stops the cycle. The paper trail is the argument.
Our Garage Door Installation Process - Step by Step
- 1
The measurement visit. We come out, measure the opening, check the header and jambs for square, and look at the existing spring and track setup. If you have another company’s written estimate, bring it out and we’ll see if we can beat it under the Free Second Opinion. The measurement visit is free, and it doesn’t obligate you to anything.
- 2
The written quote and scope. You’ll get a flat written price for the door, the installation, and any hardware or opener work in the same quote. That price doesn’t change once we start, and we agree to it before any order is placed. There’s no “call for a quote” step because the quote is already in front of you.
- 3
Door order and scheduling. Once you approve the quote, we order the door and set the install date. Steel door orders usually arrive in under two weeks; custom doors can run longer, and we’ll give you that lead time in writing. The day before install, we’ll text you the technician’s name and the arrival window.
- 4
Installation day. The technician arrives in a marked van, removes the old door and hardware, and installs the new door, tracks, springs, and bottom seal. For a single door, it’s a one-day job. For a double door or a door with a new opener, we’ll usually have a second technician to keep the schedule on track.
- 5
Documentation and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. After the door is balanced and tested, the technician photographs the finished install and the remaining hardware, and you’ll get a photo record of everything that was found and everything that was done. If anything isn’t right, Clause 5 of The Haven Standard backs the 365-Day Done Right Promise: we make it right. No follow-up call, no service fee.
How Much Does Garage Door Installation Cost in Tarzana?
A typical new garage door installation in Tarzana runs between $700 and $2,200, with the final number depending on the door size, the brand, and the insulation level; see our Garage Door Installation cost guide for details. A basic single car steel door from Wayne Dalton or a mid-tier Clopay goes for around $700 to $1,100 installed. A double car door with an insulated core and a steel backer will typically land between $1,300 and $2,200. A custom wood or wood-look carriage door can exceed that range, and we’ll quote it specifically once the opening and the door spec are confirmed.
What affects the price the most is the insulation package and the door’s wind load rating. Tarzana sits in a moderate wind zone, but doors on raised foundations or hillside lots see stronger gusts, and a higher wind load rating costs more. The second biggest factor is the existing frame: if the header or jambs need repair, that work goes into the written quote before the door gets ordered, not as a change order later. You avoid overpaying by getting a written scope that separates the door, the installation, and any frame or opener work line by line. We don’t bury anything in a single line item, and the free estimate includes all of it: measurement, written price, and lead time. Call (424) 372-1317 and we’ll have someone out to measure within a day or two.

Frequently Asked Questions - Garage Door Installation in Tarzana
Garage door installation is the complete removal of your old door and hardware followed by the installation of a new door, tracks, springs, rollers, and bottom seal in the same opening. It’s different from a repair, which replaces individual parts; an installation replaces the entire system in one pass. Servo Garage Doors Tarzana quotes installation work as a single flat price that covers the door, labor, hardware, and disposal of the old door.
A single car door installation in Tarzana takes one working day from arrival to final test and photo documentation. A double car door usually takes one day as well, with a second technician on site to handle the extra weight. Custom doors take longer only because of the manufacturing lead time, which we provide in writing before you order.
Garage door installation in Tarzana costs $700 to $2,200 for most residential doors, with single car steel doors at the lower end and double car or custom doors at the higher end. The price is a flat written number agreed before the door is ordered, per Clause 1 of The Haven Standard. Call (424) 372-1317 for a free measurement and written estimate.
Yes, we install and service all four brands, plus LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, and Raynor. We carry the most common hardware for these lines on the truck, and we can order any panel or door configuration through their current programs. Bring us another company’s written estimate and we’ll give a Free Second Opinion, no coupon required.
Yes. If your door is stuck open, off its tracks, or otherwise leaving the garage unsecured, we treat it as an emergency and dispatch a technician same day. Live phone coverage runs 24/7, including holidays, and the person who answers at (424) 372-1317 can name a technician and send an on-the-way text, not just a vague window. Emergency installation often starts with a temporary secure-up, and we’ll quote the full replacement in writing before any non-emergency work proceeds.
Every installation carries the manufacturer’s warranty on the door and hardware, plus the 365-Day Done Right Promise from The Haven Standard. If something on the install isn’t right within a year, we make it right at no charge. The photo record we deliver at the end of the job is part of that warranty trail: you have documentation of what was installed and how it looked the day we left.
Clear the area inside the garage for about six feet from the door, and move vehicles out of the driveway before the technician arrives. If the garage has attic storage or items on the walls near the tracks, take them down or shift them clear. We’ll handle the old door’s removal and disposal; you don’t need to cut anything or move the rails. If you need to book the day off, a single door job is a full day, so plan for the truck to be there into the afternoon.
