Ways to save in Seattle
- Choose a stock size and color — custom doors add 30% or more and take weeks.
- 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.
