Example figures for a typical garage door replacement job. Not a quote. Every line on the estimate came from the notes above. Nothing was added.

What to spell out on a garage door replacement bid

  • Door size, style, insulation, color, and windows or none.
  • What is new and what is reused: tracks, springs, opener.
  • Opener model, drive type, and battery backup.
  • Lead time, and that the order goes in when the deposit clears.

Springs are the thing that fails next on a reused system. Say whether new springs are in the price so a failure in month three is not a warranty argument.

The parts of this estimate

  • Scope of work. 5 lines, one thing each, in the order the work happens. What is not included is on the list too.
  • One price. $2,950. Not a formula, not a range. The scope explains the number.
  • Timeline. 1 day, after the door arrives. Including dry time, cure time, or permit time, so the customer plans around it.
  • Payment terms. 50% upfront, 50% on completion. The $1,475 deposit is paid by card when they sign.
  • Warranty. 1 year on labor, manufacturer warranty on door and opener.
  • A way to accept. The customer types their name and signs with a finger on their phone. Legally binding under the E-SIGN Act, and recorded with the date, time, and the exact estimate they agreed to.

Questions garage door installers ask about this bid

Can I reuse the opener?

If it is sound, yes, and say so. A reused opener is excluded from your warranty.

How much deposit?

Half, because the door is bought for this house and cannot go back.

Is this a real quote?

No. The numbers are example figures for a typical job so you can see how a complete estimate reads. Your price is yours.

Can my customer sign this on their phone?

Yes. An estimate sent from BidWriter Pro opens as a link. The customer reads it, types their name, signs with a finger, and pays the deposit by card. You get an alert when they open it and when they sign.
