Garage Door Replacement Leads: Exclusive Calls for Contractors
Garage door replacement leads are the highest-ticket lead type in the garage door vertical. A full garage door replacement — new panels, new hardware, new opener if needed — runs $1,200–$3,500 for a standard residential door and can exceed $5,000 for custom wood or carriage-house styles. These calls come from homeowners who've made the mental decision to replace, not just repair, and they're looking for a contractor who can show them options and quote the full job.
What triggers a replacement call
The most common triggers: the existing door was damaged in a vehicle collision (insurance claim involved — note this in your intake process), the door is old and showing significant wear that makes repair uneconomical, the homeowner is remodeling the home exterior and wants a new door to match, or the door is functionally obsolete (no insulation, poor security). Each trigger requires a slightly different sales approach.
Replacement lead cost and ROI
| Door Type | Cost Per Call | Average Job Value |
|---|---|---|
| Standard steel (single) | $45–$80 | $1,200–$1,800 |
| Standard steel (double) | $55–$95 | $1,600–$2,500 |
| Insulated / premium | $65–$110 | $2,000–$3,500 |
| Custom wood / carriage | $80–$140 | $3,500–$6,000+ |
Insurance-involved replacement calls close at higher rates because the homeowner has a specific budget (insurance payout) and a deadline (adjuster timeline). If your team can handle insurance documentation, targeting post-collision replacement calls in high-traffic suburban markets can be very productive.
