Three to six hours for a single door, four to eight for a double with a new opener.

Can I replace just the panels?

Sometimes, if the model is still made. Panel replacement runs $250 to $800 each, so two or more damaged panels usually justify a new door.

How long do garage doors last?

Skip windows unless you need the light; they add $150 to $800 and reduce insulation.
Keep your existing opener if it is under ten years old and works.
Insulate only if the garage is attached or conditioned.
Ask about builder-grade lines from the same manufacturer for a rental or flip.
