Single-Car Garage Door Installation in Nashville and Middle Tennessee
Garage Door Installation and Replacement

Single-Car Garage Door Installation

A new door for a single-width opening, with the right springs, tracks and finish for the space.

Single-width doors are common on older homes, additions, detached garages and workshops. They are lighter than wide doors, which keeps the hardware simple, and they come in many of the same styles. Homeowners in Nashville often replace one when it is worn, when the neighbors have updated theirs or when an old opener has finally given out.

We measure the opening carefully, because older single openings are often not standard. We check the headroom, the side room and the floor, then choose a door and track type that fit. Installation includes removal of the old door, new tracks or matched hardware, springs balanced to the door and a check of the opener and safety sensors.

Nonstandard openings

Older garages often have unusual sizes. We measure and order a door sized to your opening.

Matched look

A single door can match a neighboring double door, so the front of the house looks consistent.

Detached garages

Workshops and outbuildings need doors that suit how you use them, from basic steel to insulated.

Simple, durable hardware

Lighter doors let us use standard, well-supported parts that are easy to service later.

    Install and adjust

    We remove the old door, set the tracks, hang the door, balance the springs, mount the opener and test every safety feature.

  6. 06

    We clean up, haul away the old door if you asked, walk you through the finished work and explain how to care for it.
