Or try it on the web →This garage door replacement quote template is for tradies installing standard residential roller and sectional doors. It covers the essential line items for a clean, profitable job. Most installers get stung in two places: underestimating labour on sites with poor access, and forgetting to charge for the removal and disposal of the old steel door and motor. This guide helps you price those items correctly so your quote is accurate and you don't work for free. A tight quote on labour and waste protects your margin on the whole job.
How to Price Labour and Disposal for a Standard Roller Door
A single-car roller door replacement is a two-person job. Budget for two installers for 3 to 4 hours on site. At a rate of $90 per hour per person, that's $540 to $720 in labour. The door itself, a standard single Colorbond roller from a supplier like B&D Doors, will cost you around $900. A quality motor, like a Merlin SilentDrive Essential, adds another $500. Don't forget disposal. The old steel door is heavy and awkward. Your local council tip will charge a fee, so add a line item for at least $80-$120 to cover the tip fee, your time, and fuel.
What Gets Left Off: Structural Fixes and Electrical Work
Old garages often have problems. The timber jambs the new tracks mount to might be rotten or warped. You must inspect this first. If it needs fixing, add a line item for 'remedial frame repairs' – this can be a few hundred dollars in timber and labour. The new motor needs a GPO within a metre. If there isn't one, you'll need a licensed sparkie to install it. This is a separate cost, usually $250-$350, that must be on the quote to avoid arguments later. All wiring must comply with AS/NZS 3000. Also, note if the garage is full of the client's junk, as clearing a workspace costs you time.

Frequently Asked Questions
For custom-sized doors, add at least 20% to the door panel cost. Suppliers like Steel-Line or Gliderol charge a premium and have longer lead times. These orders are non-refundable if you mis-measure, so measure three times. Confirm the exact additional cost and lead time with your supplier before finalising your quote.
Yes, always include new safety beams. Modern openers require them to meet Australian safety standards. Old beams are rarely compatible with new motors. A new pair of photoelectric (PE) beams is usually included in a motor kit from suppliers like ATA or Merlin, but always check the box contents before pricing.
Yes, much more. A tilt door's spring and counterweight assembly is heavy, bulky, and can be dangerous to dismantle. They are also harder to transport for disposal. You should add at least one to two extra hours of labour to your quote, around $180-$240, for removing an old tilt door.
