Default OT: Too much for a garage door and opener?

I won't yet reveal the supplier, but I was quoted $3000 for a steel, fully insulated, glass window, black enamled door (14 x7 ft) and Lift master, belt drive, 1/2 hp, opener. Fully installed, lifetime warranty.

Is it me, or is that a bit high?

1 yr ago had a 12*8 lift master chain drive, 1/2 HP,steel with vinyl cladding(beige outside,white inside), insulated, inside & outside key pad, 2 remotes $ 1800 cash. Additionally paid for 6 - 1'*2' windows- $50 each. So far so good. I live in Toronto (high park). My bricklayers friend- really good job.

I was quoted $1200 for a single, door only installed, so a double plus a lift master, 3 k doesn't sound to far off. Is that all in or plus tax?

My 2 cents but that actually sounds like a great price, the door being 14x7 and insulated with glass isn't cheap. The black enamel colour application during the construction process adds cost as well.

I use Homestars as an estimate proxy given the type of work I need to get done as most reviews include the cost paid as well.

Don't know the height of the garage but if you can/plan to install a lift someday you might want to have the door go up to (and along) the ceiling. This would require a jackshaft (side mounted) lift. They're not much more price wise.

It really depends on the quality of your doors. My two doors were almost 3k with instal, no openers.

VERY much depends on the quality of the door. Some garage doors are much more expensive, while a builders grade door = cheep.

You need to compare apples to apples.

If you have an 996 C4S or a 997.1 Turbo we will become neighboors in 6 months.

RK, Did the fellow see what was in the garage before he provided you a quote? Maybe find your old Hyundai Pony and park it in there and ask for another quote.
