How much should I pay for a garage door?
Most Perth homeowners can expect to pay between $1,200 and $6,000+ for a new garage door, depending on the door style, size, materials, and whether installation and automation are included. Roller doors are usually the most affordable, sectional doors sit in the mid-range, and custom or designer doors attract premium pricing.

- Mid-range: A standard single sectional door with automation typically falls between $2,500–$4,000 installed.
- Premium: A double insulated sectional or custom designer door can range from $5,000–$10,000+ installed.
If a quote sits well above these ranges, it’s worth asking for a detailed breakdown of the door brand, materials, insulation, wind rating, motor type, and all installation inclusions so you can compare like-for-like.
