Garage Door Garage Door Insulation Ferndale, MD
R-8 to R-18 insulation retrofit for existing steel doors. Reduces transferred heat by up to 71%, lowers AC load on attached garages, and noticeably quietens door travel.
Our Ferndale garage door insulation calls cluster around pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, and degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture. We fix the cause on the first visit and back it for a decade.
Ferndale, MD is shaped by a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware. We've learned which parts last in Maryland's humid subtropical region, because high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and mildew and moisture on shaded, north-facing doors take a steady toll on springs, tracks, and seals.
In our experience around Ferndale, the repairs that come up most are pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, and degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture. We'll show you exactly what failed and why before we touch a tool.
Garage door insulation is one of the cheapest energy upgrades available to most homeowners with attached garages. Uninsulated steel doors radiate heat into the garage all afternoon — and into the adjacent rooms whose walls share with the garage. Adding R-8 to R-18 insulation cuts measured heat transfer by up to 71%, drops attached-garage temperatures by 10–15°F on hot days, and noticeably reduces the AC load on rooms that share walls with the garage.
We do retrofit insulation on existing steel doors using EPS foam panels cut to fit each section, with reflective vinyl facing and a perimeter seal. The retrofit takes 2–3 hours per door, can be done in place without removing panels, and works on most thin-skinned and double-skinned steel doors. Wood doors and full-view doors aren't candidates for retrofit insulation — we'll tell you upfront if your door doesn't suit the upgrade.
Beyond energy, insulation makes the door significantly quieter. The foam dampens panel resonance, which is the main source of bass-y rumble during operation. Homeowners often comment that the noise reduction alone justified the project. For homes with bedrooms above the garage, this is meaningful.
Uninsulated doors on the sunny side of a home easily push attached-garage temperatures to 105–115°F. Insulation drops that 10–15°F.
Room next to garage runs warm
Bedroom or living space that shares a wall with the garage often runs 3–5°F warmer than the rest of the house. Door insulation helps; wall insulation is the bigger fix.
AC bill spikes in summer
Attached garages bleed conditioned air through the door if there's a return-air path. Insulation slows the heat ingress.
Garage workshop or gym in use
Spending hours in the garage on hot days is uncomfortable without insulation. The upgrade pays back fast for active garage users.
Excessive door noise
Uninsulated panels resonate during travel. Insulation foam dampens the resonance for a noticeable noise reduction.
Common causes & what we fix
Builder-grade non-insulated doors
Tract construction commonly uses the cheapest non-insulated steel doors. They meet building code but ignore comfort and energy efficiency.
Sun-side exposure
South and west-facing garages take the brunt of afternoon sun locally. Insulation is highest-leverage on these exposures.
Habitable space above garage
Bonus rooms and bedrooms over the garage transfer heat from below. Door insulation helps; full ceiling insulation is the bigger lever.
Garage as workshop or gym
If you use the garage for work or workouts, comfort improvements have direct quality-of-life payback.
Older home with no garage insulation
Pre-1990s homes often have no insulation in the garage at all. Door insulation is a logical first step.

Frequently asked about garage door insulation
Top questions homeowners searching for Garage Door Insulation near me ask us:
Ferndale sits in a warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware. That is hard on a door — high year-round humidity that rusts springs, cables, and fasteners, frequent thunderstorms that drive rain into tracks and seals, and mildew and moisture on shaded, north-facing doors all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, rusted track hardware and seized rollers, storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, and degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture. We size springs and seals for Maryland's humid subtropical region conditions rather than a generic catalog spec.
The call we get most in Ferndale is pitted galvanized hardware on older doors. Ferndale has mostly suburban single-family homes with attached garages, alongside pockets of older in-town housing, so rusted track hardware and seized rollers turns up often too. We carry the common parts on the truck for a single-visit fix.
Highly dependent on home, climate, and exposure. Typical homes with attached garages see a noticeable drop in summer cooling costs. Payback is usually 12–24 months.
Most thin-skinned steel doors — yes. Double-skinned steel — varies, sometimes already insulated. Wood and full-view doors — no, retrofit isn't possible. We assess during the quote.
R-8 is the entry level and provides meaningful improvement. R-12 is the sweet spot for most homes. R-18 is overkill for the local climate but a fine choice for sound-dampening priority.
Yes — insulation foam adds only a few pounds per panel, and we re-tune the spring tension and opener force to match the new weight as part of the install.
