I have done all the renovation and expansion of my garages myself but I was hoping to have somebody else do the garage doors. I need to install 2 of them 8 x 7 and 9 x 7 No motors. No insulation. Basically, the least expensive white garage doors I can find. I am probably getting them from Home Depot or Lowes. I already have a garage door on one of the bays but its shot and needs to be replaced.. track and all. Doesn't look complicated or hard to do at all yet every person I speak to tells me that I definately don't want to install them myself because they are a pain in the neck. Doesn't look hard at all to me. The tutorials I found online look simple. Any suggestions? Is it as hard as people are telling me or is it as easy as I think it looks.

My father-in-law just did his own door; he got a kit from HD that included the door (basic stamped metal bare bones model), tracks, and all required hardware for under $200. He said it was a breeze to install (few hours).
