A new garage door in West Hollywood typically runs $700 to $2,200 installed, depending on size, material, and insulation. Most single-door installations take one full day, and we schedule within the same week in most West Hollywood neighborhoods. Gold Star Garage Door Service has installed doors on everything from 1920s Spanish colonials near the Sunset Strip to mid-century apartments off Santa Monica Boulevard, and we’re familiar with the quirks of older garages in this city: narrow clearances, sloped driveways, and HOA design requirements. Nelson Varga leads our installation crew with factory-level training on eight major brands, so you get a square, balanced door that opens quietly the first time. Call (866) 810-8325 for a free measure and written quote.
Garage Door Replacement
Garage Door Replacement is the right call when your existing door has structural damage, rusted-through panels, or a spring system that’s failed more than once. A full replacement in West Hollywood runs $700 to $2,200, and we walk you through material, insulation, and window options before any work is scheduled. Gold Star Garage Door Service removes your old door, checks the framing and tracks, and installs a new door matched to your opener and spring configuration. We never recommend replacement just because a repair is harder to quote – if a $250 panel replacement fixes the issue, that’s what we’ll tell you.
When Repair Stops Making Sense
Bent tracks, snapped springs that keep recurring, and doors that have been hit by a car are the three most common replacement triggers we see in West Hollywood. If your door is 20-plus years old and the bottom panel is rusting from coastal moisture or street runoff, replacement costs less over five years than repeated repairs.
What Replacement Includes in West Hollywood
We handle removal and haul-away of the old door, new track, springs, weather seal, and a full balancing test. You’ll get a clear line-item quote before we order anything, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Styles & brands we work with
Garage Door Installation Service
Garage Door Installation Service covers a new door for a new build, a garage that never had a door, or replacing a door that’s beyond repair. For West Hollywood homes, a complete installation typically runs $700 to $2,200, and that includes rails, springs, brackets, and finish work. Gold Star Garage Door Service measures your opening precisely, checks for side-room and headroom clearance, and orders a door that fits the first time. We’re brand-agnostic, so the door you choose is based on your budget and the look you want, not what we happen to stock in a warehouse.
Door Styles and Materials We Install
From steel and aluminum to wood-look composite and full-view glass, we install doors that match West Hollywood’s mix of historic and modern architecture. Insulated doors are popular here because attached garages double as studios, gyms, and work-from-home spaces, and an uninsulated door turns them into ovens by 10 a.m. in August.
Opener Compatibility During Installation
If your current opener is a LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, or Craftsman, we can usually keep it and just re-balance it for the new door. If the opener is older than the door you’re replacing, we’ll tell you what makes sense and quote it separately.
Commercial Garage Door Installation
Commercial Garage Door Installation covers storefronts, parking garages, loading docks, and mixed-use buildings across West Hollywood and nearby Century City and Koreatown. Commercial doors range higher than residential because they’re larger, run on more cycles per day, and often require fire-rated or high-cycle hardware. We provide site measurements, code review, and a written proposal before any equipment is ordered. Gold Star Garage Door Service has installed commercial doors for restaurants on Melrose, small apartment buildings near Fairfax, and retail spaces in WeHo’s design district, so we understand both the practical and the aesthetic demands.
Rolling Steel and Sectional Doors
We install rolling steel doors for secure storefronts and sectional doors for loading areas and parking access. Each one gets a cycle rating matched to how often it opens, so you don’t burn through springs in six months on a door that cycles 50 times a day.
Code, Clearance, and Scheduling
West Hollywood has specific fire and egress requirements for commercial doors, and we coordinate those with your property manager before installation day. We schedule commercial work around your business hours when possible, so a retail space isn’t closed longer than necessary.
Garage Door Installation Contractors
Garage Door Installation Contractors are the people who actually show up, measure, install, and stand behind the work. Nelson Varga and his crew at Gold Star are the contractors you’ll deal with directly: no subcontracted crews, no call center between you and the installer. We’re trained on LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor hardware, and that cross-brand fluency is the difference between a door that fits correctly and one that gets adjusted three times in the first month. New door installation runs $700 to $2,200 in West Hollywood, and the quote you approve is the price you pay.
Why Cross-Brand Training Matters
Most doors in West Hollywood were installed years ago, by companies that may not exist anymore. A contractor familiar with your brand walks in knowing the track profile, the spring type, and the common failure points before the first tool comes out of the truck.
What to Ask Any Contractor Before Signing
Ask whether they’re licensed and insured, whether they do their own installs or sub them out, and whether the quote includes haul-away and seal replacement. We answer all three in writing, every time.
Garage Door Seal Installation
Garage Door Seal Installation replaces the rubber weather stripping along the bottom and sides of your door, which keeps water, dust, and pests out. A bottom seal in West Hollywood typically runs $120 to $250 installed, depending on door width and whether the retainer channel needs replacing too. Gold Star Garage Door Service checks your existing seal during any service call, because a cracked or flattened seal is the number one reason West Hollywood garages flood during winter rain. We carry bulk seal stock in the truck, so most seal jobs are done the same visit.
Bottom Seal vs. Side and Top Seal
Bottom seals compress against the floor and wear out fastest, especially on doors that face the street or catch afternoon sun. Side and top seals stop drafts and frame gaps, and they matter more on older wood-frame garages where settling has pulled the opening slightly out of square.
Signs Your Seal Is Failing
Daylight visible under the door, leaves and dust collecting near the wall, and a mouse or rat dropping problem are all telltale signs. If your garage smells damp after rain, the seal is the first thing we check.
New Garage Door Installation
New Garage Door Installation gives you a door built for your opening, your home’s style, and the way you use your garage. In West Hollywood, a new door typically costs $700 to $2,200, with the spread driven by insulation level, window inserts, and material. Gold Star Garage Door Service starts with a free on-site measure, then presents three or four clearly priced options rather than one pressure-priced “deal.” We install the door, tune the spring balance, align the safety sensors, and walk you through maintenance before we leave.
Insulated vs. Non-Insulated Doors
An insulated door costs more up front but pays back in comfort if your garage is attached or you use it as a workspace. West Hollywood’s summer heat and winter damp make insulation a smart add for most homes, especially those with bedrooms above the garage.
Windows, Hardware, and Finish Choices
We install doors with arched windows, frosted glass, carriage-house hardware, and custom colors. The goal is a door that looks intentional on your home, not an afterthought bolted to the front of it.
Brands We Service
We install and service all eight major brands you’re likely to encounter in West Hollywood. LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers are the two we see most often, and we carry their OEM logic boards, safety sensors, and remotes so repairs don’t stall waiting on parts. If you’re replacing an opener alongside a new door, we’ll match the brand to your existing wall control and keypad if that’s what you want.
On the door side, Clopay, Amarr, and Wayne Dalton cover most of the residential market, and we’re familiar with their track profiles and panel weights. Craftsman and Raynor doors show up regularly in older West Hollywood garages, and we can source replacement panels and hardware for both. Genie openers from the 1990s and 2000s are still running in plenty of WeHo homes, and we know their quirks. Whether you have a Raynor, a Craftsman, or any other make, we can help.

AfterSigns You Need a Pro Right Now
- Your door sags on one side when opening. This usually means a failing spring or a bent track. A door that runs unevenly wears rollers and hinges fast, and it can jam mid-cycle and leave your garage half-open.
- You hear grinding or screeching during operation. Metal-on-metal noise means rollers, bearings, or the opener gear are wearing out. Catching this early usually means a $110 to $220 roller replacement instead of a full track rebuild later.
- The door reverses or stops partway consistently. This can be a sensor alignment issue, a force setting problem, or a spring that’s lost tension. It’s also a security gap: a door that doesn’t close fully is an open invitation to anyone walking by.
- You see a visible gap between the door and the floor. A worn bottom seal lets water, dust, and rodents in. In West Hollywood’s older garage pads, cracked concrete can also create uneven gaps that need a thicker seal or a threshold repair.
- The door was installed before 2005 and hasn’t been serviced. Springs from that era are at end of life if they haven’t snapped already. A broken spring is dangerous and will strand your car inside when you least expect it.
Our Process, Step by Step
- 1
Call and schedule a free measure. We come out, look at your opening, check the headroom and side room, and talk about what you need the door to do. There’s no charge and no obligation.
- 2
You get a written quote. We send a line-item price that includes the door, track, springs, seal, labor, and haul-away. The price is agreed before any work starts, and it doesn’t change unless you add something at the install.
- 3
We order and schedule. Most residential doors arrive within one to two weeks. We coordinate the install date around your schedule, and we show up with the right door, the right springs, and the right crew.
- 4
Installation day. We remove the old door, install the new one, balance the springs, set the opener force limits, and align the safety sensors. We test the door through at least ten full cycles before we call it done.
- 5
Walkthrough and cleanup. Nelson or the lead installer walks you through the door, the opener, and basic maintenance. We haul away the old door and all packaging, and we leave your garage cleaner than we found it.
How Much Does Garage Door Installation Cost in West Hollywood?
A typical residential garage door installation costs $700 to $2,200 in West Hollywood, depending on size, material, insulation level, and whether you’re adding windows or custom hardware. A basic single-car steel door starts around $700, while a double-car insulated door with windows lands in the $1,800 to $2,200 range. Commercial doors run higher because they’re built for heavier cycles and code compliance.
What affects the price most is insulation and door weight. A heavier insulated door needs stronger springs and sometimes upgraded tracks, so the hardware cost scales with the door itself. If you’re replacing an opener at the same time, budget another $250 to $550 for opener installation, depending on the model. The way to avoid overpaying is to get a written quote that separates door, hardware, and labor, so you can see exactly what you’re paying for. Our free estimate includes the measure, the quote, and a recommendation on what’s worth spending for your specific garage and how you use it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Door Installation in West Hollywood
Garage door installation is the process of measuring your opening, selecting a door that fits it, and installing the door panels, tracks, springs, seal, and hardware. It also includes balancing the door, setting the opener, and testing the safety sensors. A proper installation ensures the door opens smoothly, seals correctly, and lasts 15 to 25 years with routine maintenance.
Most single-door residential installations take one full day, including removal of the old door and cleanup. Double doors or doors with custom windows add a few hours. Commercial installations can take one to two days depending on size and code requirements.
A new residential door typically costs $700 to $2,200 installed, depending on size, material, insulation, and custom options. Opener installation runs $250 to $550 if you’re adding one. We provide a free written quote before any work starts. Call (866) 810-8325 for an exact price on your specific opening.
Yes, we service both LiftMaster and Chamberlain, along with Genie, Craftsman, and Raynor. If you’re installing a new door and want to keep your existing opener, we’ll re-balance it for the new door’s weight and set the force limits correctly. Our technicians work on whatever brand you already have.
Same-day installation isn’t realistic for a new door, because the door has to be ordered to your exact opening size and style. That said, we can often complete the measure and quote on the same day you call, and we schedule most installations within one to two weeks. For repair work like seal replacement or roller replacement, same-day service is usually available.
Yes, the doors we install carry manufacturer warranties on panels and hardware, and our installation workmanship is backed by a workmanship guarantee. We’ll walk you through exactly what’s covered, for how long, and who to call if anything seems off after the install.
Clear the area inside the garage around the door opening by at least four feet, and move cars out of the driveway. If you have items stored on shelves near the tracks, move anything fragile. We’ll take care of the rest, including protecting the floor with drop cloths and hauling away the old door.
