Garage door: what moves the price in Florida
Door size and style
A standard door with 4-5 rectangular panels is $400-$1,400 before installation; add windows and it's $600-$2,500 (HomeGuide).
Opener
A new opener is a separate line at $300-$900 installed.
Labor
Installation labor is about $200-$500, so the door itself is most of the bill.
Permit
Like-for-like replacement often needs no permit. Opening up the wall or adding wiring can.
Florida labor market for garage door
Statewide wages come from BLS's state-level estimates, which blend big cities with small towns and rural areas. 3 trades drive the labor line for this job, and the weighted ratio against the national wage level is 0.86 for Florida.
For carpenters (47-2031, weighted 60%) the local median is $23.98 an hour, which is 18% below the national $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $21.41 and $28.79 an hour. BLS counts 39,300 of them working in the state, 39.6 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 43.1), so the local bench is about average.
Electricians (47-2111), 20% of the weighting: a median of $27.52 an hour, 9% below the US median of $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $22.91 and $29.76 an hour. About 49,700 work in the state. That is 50.1 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 48.7 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
General maintenance and repair workers (49-9071), 20% of the weighting: a median of $22.15 an hour, 7% below the US median of $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $18.19 and $27.18 an hour. About 111,530 work in the state. That is 112.3 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 98.4 nationally, so the supply of crews looks typical.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($28.79 an hour) would add about $65 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($21.41) would take off about $35. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 9,929,860 jobs across Florida (May 2025), which is 6.4% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |

When Florida weather lets you replace
Season matters for garage door. For each Florida metro below we took NOAA's 1991-2020 monthly normals from the nearest suitable station and counted comfortable months for exterior installation.
Miami has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Florida at 12 months; Punta Gorda has the shortest at 7 (October through April). Rainfall runs from 46 inches a year in Lakeland to 68 inches in Pensacola.
We do not adjust prices by month, because we have no reliable published data on seasonal pricing. Timing is still worth raising when you collect bids.
