A single automatic roller door installs for $1,250-$3,675; a double sectional can reach $7,900. Garage door pricing is the messiest category we track - installer pages routinely mix supply-only and installed figures - so this guide leans on the cleanest installed-price source we could find and tells you where the traps are.
Supply + install with a motor, from published Melbourne installed pricing (the cleanest city dataset available; treat other cities as indicative).
| Door | Installed range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Single roller door | $1,250-$3,675 | Supply-only for comparison: $900-$2,200 |
| Double roller door | $2,100-$4,725 | Typical job about $3,350 |
| Single sectional door | $2,425-$5,250 | Supply-only: $1,500-$4,500 |

| Motor / opener (fitted) | $420-$1,200 | Replacement motors $420-$1,050 fitted |
| Installation labour only | $400-$900 single | $700-$1,500 for a double |
| Replacement incl. old-door removal | $1,575-$5,800 single | $2,625-$8,400 for a double |
| Repairs (for context) | $125-$420 minor | Spring replacement $295-$580 |
The most common way garage door quotes mislead is not dishonesty - it is arithmetic. A door advertised at $1,500 can be supply-only, with installation labour ($400-$1,500), a motor ($420-$1,200) and old-door removal still to come. Two quotes $1,000 apart are often the same door, one with everything in and one without. Every figure in the table above is installed; when you compare quotes, ask each installer to confirm, in writing, that theirs is too.
We could not find a clean published installed-price band for tilt doors - the installer pages we reviewed mix supply and installed figures too inconsistently to publish responsibly. As orientation only, tilt doors usually price just under an equivalent sectional door. If you are shopping for a tilt door, use the sectional range as a ceiling and lean on competing quotes.
Roller is cheapest, then tilt, then sectional, then custom - each step is a real jump, and custom doubles can exceed $9,000.
Doubles run 1.6-1.9x singles. Insulated sectional panels add 20-30% - worth it if the garage sits under a bedroom.
$420-$1,200 fitted, with quiet belt-drives at the top. If the door is being replaced anyway, motor pricing bundled into the job usually beats a separate retrofit.
Double roller door, automatic, new install: $2,100-$4,725 - and the source behind that band puts the typical job for exactly this door at about $3,350. If your quotes cluster near $3,000-$3,700, they are agreeing with the published data.
Standards + safety: garage doors should comply with AS/NZS 4505, and automatic openers must have safety-reverse protection. Torsion springs are under extreme tension - spring replacement is a professional job, never a DIY one.
Prices cross-checked against What's The Damage (Melbourne installed pricing), Jim's Garage Doors, Perth Handyman and Impact Doors published pricing, October 2026. Garage door installer pages frequently mix supply-only and installed figures; where they conflicted, the cleanest installed source was used.

The biggest drivers are type ladder, size and panels and motor choice. Each one is worked through with prices in the guide above, and the calculator prices them for your job.
Use the free calculator linked from this guide - it prices your job with the same installed ranges used here, in about 30 seconds. It is a guide range, not a quote: your contractor confirms a fixed price after seeing the job.
No - they are researched guide ranges, cross-checked across at least two published sources, not quotes. Prices move with your area, the condition of the site and the scope you choose. Get itemised quotes in writing, and check the tradesperson's licence with your state building authority before you book.
The calculator prices roller and sectional doors by size, motor and replacement status - with the tilt-door gap stated honestly instead of papered over.
