- Garage Renovation Part 2 - We removed a Lally column and the center divider in our 2-car garage, and redesigned the opening with a single, massive 17 1/2' wide insulated steel garage door, and new wall-mounted LiftMaster opener. This video will guide you through the garage door installation process, show you the options available with purchasing a new garage door and give you tips for working with a contractor on your own garage remodel project.

UPDATE: Many have asked the cost, so here it is: The door cost + installation was around $5,500. The structural work, removing the Lally column and opening up the 2 bays into one (Video 1), was about $9,500.
I highly recommend both of my contractors, here in the Northeast USA: LallyGone (lallygone.com/) for the structural engineering and column removal, and Des-Carr Doors (www.descarrdoors.com/) for commercial and residential custom door installation.

Great job. What was the ballpark cost all in for this project?
Hi @zimago - great question... The door cost + installation was around $5,500. The structural work, removing the Lally column and opening up the 2 bays into one, was about $9,500.
That is not bad at all
I seriously need to get this done. I hate those 'lally columns.' I never even knew they had a name. Mike, I love the commentary explaining it all. Great job as always.
@Rated R Cars - thank you for your kind comments! I had so much fun making this video, and the construction project was amazing. It’s possible that Lallygone may service your area… Us car people can never have too much play space!
Great & detailed presentation!
Amazing video. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Great video Mike! That side mounted opener is pretty sweet. I've never seen one like it before. Too bad I just replaced ours a couple of years ago, but maybe I can move it to the single door when that one dies and get a fancy one for the double door. The garage is looking great! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Thomas! Even though my old openers were working I didn’t reuse them because they were at the end of their expected life cycle. I like your idea of switching things up when your old one expires. Repurposing is always my first choice!
Absolutely great reno. and as always you're extremely detailed in everything, so thank you!
@JR007 - thanks for watching and commenting! I’m extremely excited about the project, and I can’t wait to really customize the space for lots of future projects. 😁
Another very informative video! It's interesting to see how this was done. Your videos are really nicely put together. You have a talent for explaining things in detail but also keeping it interesting the whole way through.
Thanks Brett! That means a lot. 😄 To me, everything has a story, and I love using video to tell it. I appreciate you watching!
Big improvement! Excellent work !
@Coyote Carguy - Thank you Al! I can’t wait to finish drywall and paint, and start building out my work space. 👍🏼⚡️💥
I wasn't aware that side mounted garage door motors even existed. Cool! that is what I'll do if I ever replace the garage door.... along with an insulated door of course.
Hi Marc, this project was a journey of learning for me, and I am glad I am able to share it with others! As always I appreciate you watching and joining the conversation! 😁👍🏻❤️
thats really beautiful. looks like they did a great job,
Thank you! I appreciate you watching. :-)
Great vedio and necessary upgrade for the garage. Creat another great video to explain the itemized cost of this project will certainly help for others to consider.
@Saumil Patel - I've answered the cost in the comments in the past, but you've prompted me to add it to the description to make it easy to find, which I have done for part 1 and part 2 of this series. Thanks for the push, I think others will appreciate it. Just so you don't have to scroll, here's the answer you seek...
The door cost + installation was around $5,500. The structural work, removing the Lally column and opening up the 2 bays into one (Video 1), was about $9,500.
Nice job!
Thanks Tom! I loved working with Joe at Des-Carr Doors because he educated me about all the choices and answered at least 7 million of my questions. It’s been several weeks and I’ve been using the garage in ways never before possible.
@@MikeFyxdt I myself am not the handy type but always have a ton of questions too. It’s very interesting how “things” are thought out and done.
@@mokumholland5640 I felt really good working with a small, local company on the garage door. I know you can get doors installed through the big box home centers, but Joe gave me choices that I didn’t know existed which let me really customize my space. Plus, everything was done with a high level of craftsmanship. Happy customer! 😁
Great project Mike . . . how about mounting some lights on the inside of you new garage door - when you open the door in the evenings, you'll still have a brightly lit workspace 😀
That’s a cool idea! I have to think this through because are used to have shop lights mounted between the doors with the two door set up. To mount lights on the door would be cool, but I need to come up with a way of getting them power that won’t be affected by the movement of the doors. Another alternative is to mount some shop lights on the walls, just under where the doors come up. So many choices! I appreciate your creative suggestion!
I have two smaller doors too. im doing the same thing by replacing thwm with one big door. in my situation the pillar is not load bearing. But I see it varies from garege to garage.
Hey Kevin, the big door makes it so much easier for me to pull in, since my driveway is at an angle. It was well worth it! Thanks for commenting!
Very informative and educational product options for home owners such as I. Although technically Mike, you didn’t fix this project your work men did while you produced excellent camera footage and product placement. Nonetheless I give it a like, Mike👍
@Mr. Preston - thank you for watching and commenting! There’s definitely a dividing line where DIY needs to yield to the experts, especially when safety and structural integrity is at risk. While it was a big investment, I smile every time I pull into my garage or do a car project. The modification is highly recommended! 😁
How are the Liftmaster 8500W accessories now, especially the deadbolt and LED light? I hear the deadbolt accessory is made from cheap plastic gears and break down in a year or two.
I haven't had any problems with my LiftMaster deadbolt, knock on wood! I never installed the LED light that came with the opener because my garage lights are on a motion sensor, so I really didn't need it. Overall, I am very pleased with my LiftMaster opener, which I have owned for about 1 1/2 years. Thanks for asking!
@@MikeFyxdt I believe you need the LED light to use the MyQ app on your phone. I haven't set up MyQ yet, so I can't rate the app functionality, but it does sound useful (remote opening, alerts, Amazon secure garage deliveries, and more?).
@@hobbes3 I didn't set it up either! It seemed cool when I was shopping for the new system, but I just haven't found myself needing it.
How much did this cost you?
Hi Vamsi, I just pinned a previous post that explains the costs. It should be at the top of the comments section now. Thanks for watching!
How much did this cost

@@MikeFyxdt thank you
Seems like a lot of time and money spent to remove a pole. If I were you I would get a lawn chair and a cold beer and just sit in the middle of that garage and enjoy the hell out of the pole not being there! Well worth it!
@LJ Sites - Lol, definitely a lot of money to remove 2 obstructions. But I have to say that it is well spent, and I have been enjoying the benefits that the new layout offers. The structural work and garage door installation went surprisingly quickly, but a considerable amount of time was spent planning the project. Hopefully these videos will help people make the most of their time when planning their project. I look at it this way…There are many home owner expenses that you don’t have a choice about, like repairs and insurance, many of which you may never see the benefit. While this was a major project, the rewards are immediate. It removed a pain that I dealt with every day for the last decade. My only regret is that I did not think of doing it sooner!
Now all that garage needs is some epoxy !!
I would love to do that! Maybe this spring I will get a quote. Thanks for the suggestion!
That part actually is a diy project if you have a weekend to prep
