Replace wooden garage door frame. For one thing it s mostly made of recycled materials. Take the hinges off the jamb. Position the new door and frame in the opening and tack it in place. Replacing a wooden garage door typically costs between 135 to 155 per panel.

Measure the height width and depth of the opening. For the old door remove it with a hammer and screwdriver. Most door frames come with instructions from the manufacturer that look a lot like this. Measure across the top of trim on the outside of the door from the outside corners of both pieces of vertical trim that you just nailed on.

Remove interior trim around the jamb. If you prefer materials that are eco friendly wood composite should do nicely. Select a pre hung door with the same dimensions as your old door. Carefully set it in the opening and use a level to ensure the hinge side is plumb.
