A customer called last Tuesday asking if $3,200 for a new garage door was fair. After 15 years on the trucks in Burbank, I can tell you that's actually reasonable for a quality steel door with installation. The real answer depends on what you're replacing, the material, and whether you need a new opener. Let me walk you through what garage door cost and pricing actually looks like here in Burbank.
The price of a garage door isn't one number. It's several moving parts working together. Material matters first. A basic steel door runs $800 to $1,500. Aluminum or composite doors climb to $1,200 to $2,000. Wood doors, if you want that look, sit at $2,000 to $4,000. Then you add labor, the opener, springs, weatherstripping, and hardware. That's where a simple $1,000 door becomes a $3,500 project.
Size affects cost too. A single car door is cheaper than a double. A double door in Burbank typically costs 30 to 40 percent more than a single. If you have a three-car or oversized opening, expect premium pricing.
Condition of your frame and tracks also changes the estimate. If we show up and find rotting wood or rust, the price goes up. That's why getting a real quote matters more than guessing online.
Not every broken door needs replacing. A broken spring costs $200 to $400 to fix. A damaged panel might be $300 to $600. A dead opener, $150 to $500 depending on the model. These are same-day repairs most days in our service area.
Replacement happens when the door is bent beyond repair, the frame is shot, or the age makes fixing pointless. Springs last 7 to 9 years, not 10. If your door is past 15 years and springs fail, replacement often makes more sense than another repair.

Burbank pricing sits in the middle of Los Angeles County. Pasadena and Glendale run similar rates. Some areas north toward Ventura charge slightly less. Downtown LA charges more due to parking and traffic. Burbank's sweet spot is that we're accessible without the extreme markup you see in pricier neighborhoods.
Labor rates in our area average $75 to $150 per hour. Most garage door jobs are flat rate, not hourly, so you know the cost upfront. A typical installation takes 3 to 4 hours. A spring replacement or opener swap takes 1 to 2 hours.
For context: a full replacement with a mid-range steel door, new opener, springs, and labor in Burbank runs $2,500 to $4,000. A simple repair of a broken spring or panel goes $250 to $600. An opener replacement alone costs $400 to $700 installed.
