How much does a commercial overhead door really cost?
Commercial overhead doors are exterior sectional doors. They provide an entrance for your business to receive goods, or for vehicles to enter and exit property. Doors open in various formats depending on your space and your desired needs. They must provide the desired level of security, appearance, and weather sealing properties.
Some businesses are under the impression that these doors range from $1000 – $2000, and this is not the case. The typical cost of a fully installed average industrial overhead sectional door replacement will vary. Factors such as door grade, size, glass content, finish, accessories and labour are considered, but most quotes start at $3,500. If you find a lower price, beware, because the quality may have you replacing it again in under 2 years.
