Full new-door installation in 4–6 hours with fast disposal of your old door. Carriage, contemporary, and full-view designs from Clopay, Amarr, and Wayne Dalton.
Our Mentor new door install calls cluster around doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, and loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings. We fix the cause on the first visit and back it for a decade.
Climate is half the story for a garage door in Lake County. Given four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing, snowy winters, with wide annual temperature extremes, Mentor doors wrestle with winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, and humid summers that seize hinges and rollers.
In our experience around Mentor, the repairs that come up most are doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, and loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings. We'll show you exactly what failed and why before we touch a tool.
A new garage door is usually the highest-ROI exterior upgrade a homeowner can make — Remodeling magazine consistently ranks it in the top three for cost-to-resale recovery. Beyond resale, a new door brings modern insulation (R-12 to R-18), pinch-resistant section design, factory-finished colors that won't fade for a decade, and current safety hardware that meets UL-325 and battery-backup safety codes codes. Our new-door installs are turn-key: free on-site consultation, written quote good for 30 days, factory-direct ordering, and 4–6 hour install with fast disposal of your old door.
We carry Clopay (Premium, Gallery, Avante full-view), Amarr (Classica, Heritage, Olympus), Wayne Dalton (8500, 9100), and CHI for budget-conscious projects. Carriage-style, contemporary flush, full-view aluminum-and-glass, and traditional raised-panel are all in our standard catalog. For custom architectural doors, we partner with specialty manufacturers on lead times of 4–10 weeks.
Financing is available through Synchrony at 0% APR for the first 12 months on installs over $1,500. Fast approval, no prepayment penalty, and the financing can be applied to add-ons like a new opener, smart-hub, or insulation upgrade in the same project.

New Door Install is one part of our garage door installation coverage in Mentor, OH. For the full picture — symptoms, costs, and when to repair vs. replace — start with the complete Garage Door Installation guide, or browse every garage door installation service we offer.
Doors from the early 2000s and earlier predate modern insulation, pinch-resistant joints, and current safety codes. A new install brings the system to current standards.
Multiple panel damage
When three or more sections are dented, rusted, or cracked, full-door replacement is more cost-effective than panel-by-panel repair.
Selling the home soon
New doors recover 90%+ of cost in resale value and dramatically improve curb appeal. Pre-listing is the sweet spot for ROI.
Energy bills creeping up
Old uninsulated doors leak conditioned air into attached garages. An R-12 to R-18 insulated door noticeably reduces AC load and bill.
Aesthetic mismatch with the rest of the house
A new door is the fastest way to refresh a home's street view — particularly with carriage-style or full-view designs that don't look like a 'garage door' at all.
Common causes & what we fix
Cumulative impact damage
Years of small dents, dings, and weather damage add up. At some point repair stops making economic sense versus replacement.
Spring/cable systems past design life
When the springs, cables, and rollers are all due for replacement on a 15+ year old door, the cost gets within reach of a new door — and the new door comes with all-new everything.
Insulation/energy goals
Building science improvements over the last 15 years mean a new R-18 door performs dramatically better than even a high-end door from 2008.
Design refresh
Carriage-style, modern flush, and full-view doors didn't exist as off-the-shelf options 15 years ago. Homeowners refreshing the home aesthetic often start with the garage.
Smart-home integration goals
Pairing a new door with a new opener (MyQ, HomeKit, Alexa) creates a unified install with one warranty, one tech visit, and one project.

Frequently asked about new door install
Top questions homeowners searching for New Door Install near me ask us:
Mentor sits in four distinct seasons of muggy summers and freezing, snowy winters, with wide annual temperature extremes. That is hard on a door — winter snow and ice load on doors and tracks, cold-thickened opener grease that strains the motor, and humid summers that seize hinges and rollers all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, freeze-thaw-cracked bottom seals, humidity-swollen wood doors in summer, and loosened hardware from wide seasonal swings. We size springs and seals for Ohio's continental-climate region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
Yes. Lake County surrounds Clear Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake entirely within California, and we work the whole footprint: Mentor plus nearby Mentor-on-the-Lake, Willoughby, Painesville, and Fairport Harbor. Same licensed, insured crews and 10-year workmanship guarantee county-wide.
Stock doors (Clopay Premium, Amarr Heritage in standard colors) ship from regional distribution in 5–10 business days. Special-order doors (full-view, custom carriage, custom colors) run 2–6 weeks.
We arrive on time, lay drop cloths inside the garage, remove the old door section by section, install the new tracks and panels, hang the opener if it's being replaced, program everything, and clean up. Total time 4–6 hours; most homeowners can park inside that evening.
Not always. If your opener is under 8 years old and a major brand (LiftMaster, Genie, Chamberlain), we'll reuse it and re-program the travel/force. Older or off-brand openers are usually better replaced for reliability.
Most cities don't require permits for residential garage door replacement (we'll tell you if yours does). HOA approval timelines vary — we provide spec sheets and color samples for your HOA submission.
