ABSOLUTELY!  You may not save a dime doing it yourself, and you could break
your arm or worse.

Unless you may want later to divide into heated and unheated sections, the
single door is a good deal.  You might want to put one car in for a while
and open all the doors and work on it.  It is easy to drive it into the
middle of the garage with a single large door.  16 feet wide is pretty
standard for this.  Also, you only need one operator.
