Garage Door Installation in Hyattsville

A custom-sized door for a narrow pre-war alley garage runs $1,300 to $2,600 installed. Wood-look carriage doors for Arts District homes run $1,800 to $3,300, and high-R insulated steel doors run $1,300 to $2,400. A wall-mount jackshaft opener for a low-clearance garage runs $550 to $850, plus any electrical run for a detached garage. Every quote is exact after a free in-home measure.

Yes — it is our most common Hyattsville install. Many pre-war detached garages have 7- to 8-foot openings that stock doors will not fit. We custom-order the door to the exact opening, calculate spring weights to match, and can add low-headroom track so a modern insulated door works in a century-old garage.

Possibly. Hyattsville is an incorporated city with a locally designated historic district, and a street-visible garage door on a contributing property can require the city's review and a certificate of approval. We help you confirm whether your property is in the district and choose a door that satisfies review. Outside the district, a like-for-like replacement generally needs no building permit.

Yes. Many Hyattsville alley garages never had electric openers. We coordinate running new electrical to the garage as part of the job, then install an opener suited to the clearance — usually a wall-mount jackshaft in the low-ceiling vintage garages — with rolling-code security for alley-facing doors.

A steel or composite carriage-house door with a wood-grain finish and divided-light windows. It reads as period-correct from the street and satisfies historic-district expectations, but skips the rot, warping, and repainting that real wood demands in Hyattsville's humid, tree-shaded microclimate.
