Typical prices by repair

The most common repairs

1. Broken springs. The spring does the lifting, not the opener. When it snaps you hear a bang and the door won’t go up. See spring replacement cost.
2. Safety sensors out of line. The door starts down and reverses. Often a free fix: wipe the lenses and line the two eyes up. See garage door won’t open.
3. Opener failures. Stripped gears, a dead logic board or a worn-out motor. Openers over 10 to 15 years old are often worth replacing rather than repairing.
4. Cables and rollers. Frayed cables and worn rollers make a door noisy, jerky or crooked. They are often replaced at the same visit as springs.
5. Off-track doors. Usually caused by a bumped track or a snapped cable. Don’t run the opener on a crooked door.

What makes a repair cost more

• Door size. Double doors are heavier and need larger springs and longer cables.
• Parts availability. Panels for discontinued door models can be hard to match.
• Several worn parts at once. A snapped spring often damages a cable or roller. We show you what is worn and you decide what to fix.

Storm, tree or car damage? See whether insurance covers it.

Repair or replace?

Springs, cables, rollers and openers are almost always worth repairing. Consider a new door when panels are rusted through or cracked in several places, the door is uninsulated and the garage is part of your living space, or the repair would cost more than about a third of a new door ($1,200 – $2,800 for a single door, $1,800 – $4,500+ for a double).

How to avoid overpaying

• Get the price in writing before anyone starts.
• Ask whether the service call fee is waived if you approve the repair.
• Be wary of very low phone quotes. A “$29 service call” often turns into an expensive upsell at your door.
• Ask what warranty comes with the parts and the labor.
• Check the company’s Google reviews and that it has a real local phone number that a person answers.
