Garage door estimate-bifold or carriage

[Anonymous]

We currently have a single old wooden swing-up garage door on a 1930s colonial with a tuck under garage. The car won’t fit in the tiny garage due to the base of the chimney backside jutting into the usable space, but we do keep commuting bikes in there (along with a lot of other items-gardening/tooks/etc.).

We’d like to have easier access via either vertical/accordion four-fold, bifold doors or carriage doors-any idea on cost of these? We wouldn’t be looking for anything fancy, but probably would like something that is insulated as there is a sunroom above the garage that is freezing in the winter.

We’ve also thought about just putting in exterior French doors, but we don’t have room in the interior for inswinging doors and are unsure if outswinging exterior doors are a great idea security wise.

Thanks.

We went through Costco and to replace our door and put in a new garage door opener was $675 for a LiftMaster and $2250 for a new, insulated door. However, our garage already had electric. If you don’t have electric, I would estimate an additional $500 for that.

We also received a Costco gift card for 10% of non-labor.

How long ago was this and did you have the option to NOT go with electric?

Be careful with the type of door vs the lift. A heavier foot will wear out the motor.
