Hello!

I have a question about garage doors: I would like to replace my old tilt-up door with a sectional door. Does the new door usually go exactly where the old one was, and is it typically installed inside the garage? In other words, will I need to apply new plaster and paint afterward?

Thanks!

Best regards, Thomas

In our case, the gate was installed behind the wall. I would say the plaster should not be damaged. Repairs should be possible with a joint.

That entirely depends on the quality of the workmanship.

At my parents' house, the old swinging gates including the frames were removed, and the new sectional doors along with the guide rails were installed directly behind the existing opening.

No plastering work was necessary.

Hello, since I am also considering replacing the gate, I wanted to ask how much it cost you?
Thank you
