A new garage door is the highest-ROI thing you can change on the front of your house.
The garage door is the biggest moving piece of your home — and on most Arizona elevations, the biggest visual element. Four things you get when you upgrade.
Curb Appeal That Pays Back
Garage door replacement consistently ranks at the top of Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs. Value Report for resale return — and on most Arizona front elevations, it's the first thing the eye lands on.
15–25°F Cooler Garage
An insulated steel door (R-12 or higher) can drop garage temps 15–25°F in the worst of Arizona summer. Big deal if it shares a wall with a bedroom, a home gym, or your A/C.
Modern Safety & Security
Photo-eye sensors, auto-reverse, rolling-code remotes, smart-app monitoring. Older openers are missing all of that. A new install brings everything up to spec at once.
Quiet, Reliable Operation
Sealed nylon rollers + belt-drive openers run at a fraction of the noise of older chain-drives on plastic rollers. The difference is night and day if your garage sits under a bedroom.
Six signs your current door has had a good run.
Not every door needs replacing — sometimes a repair is the smarter call, and we'll tell you that on the spot. But these are the situations where a new install almost always beats another patch job.
Repeated repairs in the last year
Once a door is in the "what's wrong this time" cycle, repair totals usually pass new-door cost inside two years.
Visible panel damage
Vehicle impact, monsoon debris, rust eating the bottom rail. Multiple damaged panels usually means a full replacement is the better number.
The door isn't insulated
Single-skin steel doors common on pre-2005 AZ homes radiate heat into the garage all summer. Insulation pays back fast.
Loud, jerky, or slow operation
Grinding, popping, hesitation, or visible wobble means the system is fighting itself. A balanced new install runs smooth and quiet.
Opener pre-dates 1997
Pre-1997 openers don't have rolling-code remote security and can be cloned by a $30 device. Most pre-2010 openers are past life anyway.
You just don't like looking at it
This counts. It's the biggest piece of the front of your house. If it's faded, dented, mismatched, or stuck in 1996, replacing it is the right call.
Independent. Never tied to one manufacturer.
We're not on an exclusive contract with any single brand. That means we can quote the door that actually fits your house, your style, and your budget — not the one we're required to sell.
Clopay®
A long-established American manufacturer with a deep residential catalog — plain steel panels at one end, composite carriage-house doors with real wood-grain texture at the other. Holds the Good Housekeeping Seal. If you have a particular look in mind, there's usually a Clopay version of it.
Amarr®
An American manufacturer that builds safety into the standard door rather than the upgrade — their SafeGuard® system is on practically every steel model they make. Strong carriage-house and traditional panel range, and a favorite of ours for families with young kids.
Safe-Way
A steel-door specialist whose insulated lines were designed with hot, dry climates in mind. Their SteelHouse range came out of a Tempe manufacturer that spent years building for desert homes — which is a big part of why we carry them here.
Wayne Dalton
Best known for two things: TorqueMaster® Plus, which hides the spring inside a steel tube instead of running it exposed above the door, and TruChoice®, an unusually broad factory color program. A practical pick when you want a specific color without going fully custom.
Invicta Door
A dealer-direct manufacturer with a deliberately simple lineup — clean panel designs on galvanized steel, in a few clear insulation levels. Sold only through certified installers, never big-box stores, and priced honestly.
Custom & Specialty
Wood-and-glass full-view doors, custom-stained wood overlays, hurricane-rated openings, oversized commercial-residential doors. If you've seen it, we can usually source it.

Choosing the right door for Arizona's climate.
A door in Mesa or Phoenix faces a different fight than one in Cleveland. 115°F summers, 160°F panel-skin temperatures on west-facing openings, monsoon dust, and ten years of UV that fades most paint twice as fast. Four things to spec right.
Insulation R-Value
The single biggest factor in how hot your garage gets. If it shares a wall with living space, insulation is the upgrade you'll actually feel — and an injected polyurethane core holds heat out better than foam board of the same thickness.
Color & Sun Exposure
Lighter colors reflect more heat — important on south- and west-facing openings. Darks look great but expect more panel warping and paint fade over time.
Construction Type
How the door is built matters more than the badge on it. A steel-back door — steel, insulation, steel — is what we put on attached garages. A single-skin pan door costs less and radiates heat all afternoon.
Hardware Upgrades
Sealed nylon rollers, heavier-gauge tracks, high-cycle springs, insulated torsion bar — small upcharges that add years to the system life.
Our installation process, step by step.
A new garage door isn't just a swap. It's a measurement, a fit, a tension calibration, and a safety calibration. Here's exactly what happens when you book a Farnsworth install.
Free in-home consultation and measurement
A Farnsworth tech comes to your house, measures the rough opening, headroom, and sideroom, looks at your existing framing, and walks you through brands, styles, insulation, and opener options that fit your house and budget. No high-pressure sales pitch. No commission-driven upsells.
Written, itemized quote
You get a quote that breaks out the door, hardware, opener (if you're replacing it), old-door haul-away, and install labor. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice — no surprise add-ons.
Door order and install scheduling
Once you approve the quote, we order with the manufacturer and schedule your install date. We tell you what to expect and what to prep — typically just clear the driveway and pull cars out the morning of install.
Old door removal and disposal
On install day, we safely disassemble and remove your old door, tracks, hardware, and (if you're replacing it) the old opener. Everything leaves with us. No scrap metal in your driveway, no nail-strewn cleanup for you.
New door installation
We install new tracks, brackets, hinges, rollers, struts, and panels per the manufacturer's spec, with stainless or zinc-plated hardware sized for your door. Torsion springs are sized to the door's actual weight (not a rough estimate) and wound to factory cycle spec.
Opener install, programming, and safety check
If you're getting a new opener, we mount it, run the rail, hang the safety sensors, set the limits and force, and program your remotes, keypad, and smartphone app (LiftMaster myQ or equivalent). Every install gets a full safety reverse test before we leave.
Walkthrough, cleanup, and warranty handoff
We show you how everything works, where the manual release is, how to use the keypad and remotes, and how to handle a power outage. The garage and driveway leave cleaner than we found them. You get your manufacturer warranty paperwork and our written workmanship warranty.
The honest drivers behind a new-door quote.
We don't post pricing online because every install is different. But here's what actually moves the number — so you know what you're looking at when you compare our quote to anyone else's.
Door Size
Single (8–9 ft wide) vs. double (16–18 ft) is the single biggest cost factor. A double is roughly double the panels, hardware, and torsion springs.
Material & Construction
Single-skin steel is the entry point. Three-layer insulated steel is the most common pick in Arizona. Composite, faux-wood, and real wood progressively more.
Insulation R-Value
Higher R-value adds material cost but pays back in A/C savings on attached garages. Polyurethane costs more than polystyrene but outperforms it.
Style & Windows
Basic raised-panel is the value pick. Carriage house, modern flush, and full-view glass add cost. Window inserts priced per section and glass type.
Opener & Smart Features
A belt-drive opener with battery backup and smart-home integration (LiftMaster myQ) costs more than a basic chain-drive. We'll quote what fits your priorities.
Hardware Upgrades
Sealed nylon rollers, heavier-gauge tracks, high-cycle springs, insulated torsion bar. Small upcharges that add years to the system life — we always quote the upgrade option.

Andrew DGoogle review★★★★★Excellent service. Family was in a bind on a Sunday night . Torsion spring snapped. They were able to come over and repair. They were fair, efficient and very friendly. Would highly recommend and will use their services for future Garage Repairs.
DeAnn DraperGoogle review★★★★★We are so happy with the installation and quality of our new garage door but even more satisfied with the quality of service provided!! We were well taken care of from start to finish. I would recommend their product and services 100%!!!
Melissa MayesGoogle review★★★★★Amazing service. Quick, responsive and honest. Highly recommend!!!!
Holly BanksGoogle review★★★★★Brigham got my broken spring fixed right away and did an awesome job!
Tim HackettGoogle review★★★★★Great experience today with Brigham and Farnsworth. Garage Doors! Wife backed into and dented the bottom panel backing out of the garage before the door was fully open. Getting quotes and find since the door is 20 years old I can’t just replace the bottom panel. Brigham put a shoulder to the bend and straighted it, not perfect but better than it was, and added a couple of screw to keep things and place, for no charge! At some point will likely have to replace the door but this works for now!
Garage door installation FAQ.
How long does a new garage door installation take?
A standard residential install typically wraps up in a single visit. Single-car door installs are usually faster than double-car installs, and adding a new opener to the same visit adds time. We give you a realistic window on your quote so you can plan your day around it.
Do you install garage doors during the Arizona summer?
Yes. We install year-round across Mesa and the Phoenix area, including peak summer. We start early to beat the worst heat of the day on outdoor work, and our crews come prepped for it. Summer is actually a good time to install if you're upgrading to an insulated door — you'll feel the A/C difference immediately.
Can I keep my existing garage door opener?
Sometimes. If your opener is under about 12 years old, in good condition, and rated for the weight of your new door, we can re-use it. If it's older or under-spec'd for the new door, we'll recommend replacement — and tell you exactly why on the quote.
Insulated vs. non-insulated garage doors — which makes sense in Arizona?
For attached garages or any garage that shares a wall with conditioned living space, insulated almost always wins. The extra cost pays back in summer A/C savings and a more comfortable garage. Non-insulated still makes sense on detached garages or pure storage outbuildings where temperature doesn't matter.
Do you remove and dispose of my old garage door?
Yes. Removal, hauling, and disposal of the old door, hardware, tracks, and (if applicable) old opener are included in the quote. You don't see a separate line item or surprise charge for it.
What warranty comes with a new garage door installation?
You get two warranties on every install. The manufacturer's warranty on the door and opener (varies by brand — Clopay offers up to lifetime steel warranties on certain models), plus our own written workmanship warranty on the installation itself. If anything we installed isn't right, we come back and make it right.
Can I customize the color, panel style, and windows on a Clopay door?
Yes — Clopay's lineup is the most customizable of any brand we carry. Most steel models offer 7+ standard colors plus accent paint matches, multiple panel styles, optional window inserts (clear, frosted, decorative), and hardware kits (handles, hinge straps) for the carriage-house look. We show you all the options on your in-home quote.
Do you finance new garage door installations?
Yes. We partner with Wisetack for monthly payment plans on new doors and openers. Pre-approval takes a few minutes online and doesn't affect your credit score. See financing options →
Do you install custom and full-view (modern) garage doors?
Yes. We install Clopay Avante, Clopay Modern Steel, and similar full-view aluminum-and-glass doors that have become popular on modern and mid-century homes in Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, Phoenix, and parts of Mesa. We also install custom wood and wood-overlay doors on higher-end homes — these are special-order and have longer lead times.
How do I find garage door installation near me in the Phoenix area?
If you're searching for garage door installation near me, what you're really after is a local crew that will actually show up and stand behind the work. We're based in Mesa and install across 13 Valley cities — Gilbert, Chandler, Queen Creek, Scottsdale, Tempe, Phoenix and the rest. Same crew, same standards, whichever city you're in.
What if I'm building new construction in Mesa or Phoenix?
We install on new construction across the Valley — single-home custom builds, builder spec homes, and small-volume developments. If you're a builder or GC looking for a reliable garage door partner, give us a call and we can talk pricing, lead times, and rough-opening specs.
