How much does a garage door cost in Geelong?
A motorised double roller door, supplied and fitted in Geelong, costs $1,850–$4,175, typically $2,975. Choose a double sectional panel door with a motor instead and the band moves to $2,325–$7,000, while a single automatic roller is $1,125–$3,250. Separate houses make up 86.7% of Geelong dwellings, against 72.3% across Australia, and only 2.4% are flats or apartments (ABS 2021 Census), so the prices here are for the garage of a house rather than a shared car park. Every figure includes GST.

What Affects Garage Doors Costs in Geelong
Roller or sectional
A roller door coils onto a drum above the opening; a sectional door runs back along the ceiling in hinged panels. Rollers are the cheaper of the two at either width, with a motorised single typically $2,050 against $2,825 for a motorised single sectional. Sectionals seal more tightly at the sides and look more like a feature door from the street.
Cold months and attached garages
Geelong is in NCC climate zone 6. From June to August, daytime highs at the Breakwater station average below 16 °C and nights sit between 6 and 7 °C (BOM averages). Where the garage connects to the house or serves as a gym or workshop, an insulated sectional keeps out more of the Geelong cold than a thin steel roller, and it is quieter when the wind gets up.
Manual, tilt or motorised
A motor is optional. A manual single roller, installed, is $835–$2,050, a manual single sectional $1,125–$2,800, and an old-style single tilt door $930–$2,600. Adding an opener later costs $370–$930, plus a power point near the ceiling if there is none, and that point has to be installed by a licensed electrician.
The opener itself
A standard opener runs $370–$930, and a belt-drive unit, which is much quieter in use, is $510–$1,125. If a bedroom or living room shares a wall with the garage, the belt drive is worth asking for. A spare remote or wall keypad, supplied and programmed, costs $74–$205.
Repair before you replace
Plenty of faults are fixed in a single visit. A minor repair runs $110–$370, a frayed or snapped lift cable $100–$370, and a door that has jumped its tracks $93–$325. Springs can be done one at a time ($165–$325) or as a pair ($260–$510), and one dented panel is $280–$835, a fraction of a new door.
Taking out the old door
A full replacement with motor costs $1,400–$5,100 for a single and $2,325–$7,450 for a double. Ask whether removing and disposing of the old door is in that figure. Springs on an old door are held under tension and can let go with real force, so leave the dismantling to the installer.
Licensing and paperwork
In Victoria, work worth more than $10,000 needs a practitioner registered with the Building and Plumbing Commission. Even the top of our double replacement band sits under that line, so registration is not the test for this job. Ask instead for proof of public liability cover, separate written warranties on the door and the motor, and the electrician's safety certificate for any new power point.
