#### Formula
Material Cost = (Base Door Cost × Size Multiplier) + Style Upcharge + Insulation Upcharge + Opener Cost + Spring Cost + Window/Hardware Cost + Keypad/Remote Cost
Labor Cost = (Base Installation Labor + Opener Labor + Removal Labor) × Regional Labor Multiplier
Total Cost = Material Cost + Labor Cost
Typical Range = Total × 0.90 to Total × 1.15
