Which Maryland city is cheapest for garage door?
0 of the 3 metros sit above the statewide midpoint of $2,300, and the top-to-bottom gap is 7%. Each row prices the default size with that metro's own BLS wages and BEA price levels, so the gap between rows is real local variation rather than a flat markup.

|---|---|---|---|
| Baltimore, MD | $720 – $3,800 | $2,250 | −1% |

Maryland labor market for garage door
Maryland's labor line is priced from 3 trades, each compared with its US median wage. After weighting by each trade's share of the work, the state comes out at 1.06 times the national level.
Carpenters (47-2031), 60% of the weighting: a median of $30.27 an hour, 4% above the US median of $29.12. The middle half of them earn between $25.11 and $36.93 an hour. About 9,770 work in the state. That is 35.4 per 10,000 jobs, compared with 43.1 nationally, so expect fewer local crews to bid.
For electricians (47-2111, weighted 20%) the local median is $35.33 an hour, which is 16% above the national $30.38. The middle half of them earn between $27.73 and $46.16 an hour. BLS counts 13,690 of them working in the state, 49.5 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 48.7), so the local bench is about average.
For general maintenance and repair workers (49-9071, weighted 20%) the local median is $24.76 an hour, which is 4% above the national $23.84. The middle half of them earn between $21.16 and $30.02 an hour. BLS counts 23,730 of them working in the state, 85.9 for every 10,000 jobs (US: 98.4), so the local bench is about average.
A crew paid at the 75th percentile for carpenters ($36.93 an hour) would add about $90 to the statewide midpoint; one at the 25th percentile ($25.11) would take off about $70. Use that as a rough guide to how far a bid can sit from our midpoint on wages alone.
BLS counts 2,763,030 jobs across Maryland (May 2025), which is 1.8% of US employment.
| Trade | Weight | 25th pct | Median | 75th pct | US median | Ratio | Level used |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carpenters (47-2031) | 60% | $25.11 | $30.27 | $36.93 | $29.12 | 1.04 | state |

Basic single door, standard steel panels
Standard
$1,650 to $2,900

Add-ons priced for Maryland
Add-ons start from national price ranges and are scaled by 1.04 for Maryland, which is the average of the area's wage index (1.06) and goods price index (1.03). The estimator above can add them to your total.
| Add-on | Local range |
|---|---|
| Add a new opener (flat) | $310 – $940 |
Why two Maryland quotes can differ
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.
Maryland seasons and garage door
Weather decides when exterior installation can happen, and Maryland is not uniform. The table uses NOAA's 1991-2020 climate normals from the weather station nearest each metro we cover, and counts the months that are neither cold nor hot enough to complicate the job.
Lexington Park has the longest comfortable season of the metros we cover in Maryland at 12 months; Hagerstown has the shortest at 9 (March through November). Rainfall runs from 44 inches a year in Hagerstown to 45 inches in Lexington Park.
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.
| Metro | Jan avg low °F | Jul avg high °F | Precip (in/yr) | Comfortable months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Baltimore | 30 | 90 | 44 | 10: February through June and August through December |
| Hagerstown | 22 | 86 | 44 | 9: March through November |
| Lexington Park | 30 | 87 | 45 | 12: all year |
