Customers often ask what a garage door spring replacement costs. The honest answer is that it depends on your door, so we quote each job. Here are the things that change the price, so you know what to expect when you call.
Torsion or extension springs
Torsion springs mount on a bar above the door. Extension springs run along the sides of the door. They are different parts with different labor, and some doors can be converted from one type to the other.
One spring or two
Many doors use two springs. Because both are the same age, it is common to replace them as a pair so the door stays balanced and you do not have a second failure soon after.
Door size and weight
A heavier or larger door needs a spring sized to match it. Insulated doors, wood doors, and doors with glass panels weigh more than a light single steel door, so the spring size changes. See our guide to standard garage door sizes.
Cycle rating
Springs are rated for a number of open and close cycles. A higher-cycle spring lasts longer and costs more. If you use your garage door many times a day, a longer-life spring can be worth considering.
Other parts that are worn
When a spring breaks, cables, rollers, and bearings are often worn too. Replacing worn parts at the same visit can prevent another service call.
When you call
We offer 24-hour emergency service. Emergency rates apply for service outside regular business hours, which are Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM.
Why not do it yourself?
Springs are under high tension. Mistakes can cause serious injury. We recommend leaving spring replacement to a professional.
