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.
When you book garage door insulation in Mascotte, you get a tech who knows Lake County — Lake County surrounds Clear Lake, the largest natural freshwater lake entirely within California. We serve Gardens at Lake Jackson Ridge, Toby's Ridge and Ranch Club and nearby Groveland, Center Hill, Webster, and Howey-in-the-Hills every day.
Mascotte's weather writes the maintenance schedule. With a humid subtropical climate — long, hot, muggy summers, mild winters, heavy thunderstorms, and high year-round humidity, doors here face summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, and corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air — and we stock the parts that stand up to it.
Across Lake County, the garage door problems we see again and again are storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. If that sounds like your door, there's a good chance we can fix it today.
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:
Local weather drives most of the repairs we run in Mascotte: with humid subtropical climate — long and summer heat and moisture that swell wood doors and seize rollers, salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, and corrosion that creeps across hardware in the muggy air, the common failure modes are storm-driven debris and water in the tracks, degraded weatherstripping from UV and moisture, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, and moisture-tripped openers and sensors after storms. Our Mascotte trucks stock the parts those conditions wear out first, so most jobs are a single visit.
Mascotte's housing skews new — a median build year of 2000, only 17% built before 1980 — so most doors are first-generation: the common work is tune-ups, spring break-in, and opener setup rather than rust repair.
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.
2–3 hours per single door, slightly longer for double doors. We can do everything in one visit without removing the door.
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.
