How much does garage door repair typically cost?

The cost of garage door repair varies depending on the type of repair needed. Minor repairs like sensor adjustments or lubrication typically range from $75-$150. Spring replacement usually costs $150-$350 including parts and labor. Cable repairs range from $100-$200. Opener repairs vary from $100-$400 depending on the issue.

There are never hidden fees or surprise charges with our service.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend professional maintenance at least once a year for optimal performance and safety. However, you should perform basic monthly checks yourself: listen for unusual sounds, watch for jerky movement, and visually inspect cables and springs for wear. Between professional services, lubricate moving parts every 3-6 months with silicone-based lubricant. Regular maintenance extends the life of your door significantly—a well-maintained garage door can last 20-30 years, while a neglected one may need major repairs or replacement much sooner.

Is it safe to repair garage door springs myself?

No, garage door spring repair is extremely dangerous and should only be performed by trained professionals. Garage door springs are under tremendous tension—a standard residential torsion spring holds about 200 pounds of force. When a spring breaks or is improperly handled, it can cause serious injury or death. Professional technicians have specialized tools, training, and safety equipment to handle spring repairs safely. The cost savings of DIY repair is never worth the risk. If you suspect spring problems (door won't open, loud bang from garage, visible gaps in spring coils), call a professional immediately.

How long does a garage door installation take?

A standard garage door installation typically takes 3-5 hours, depending on the complexity of the job. This includes removing the old door, installing the new door and tracks, setting up the opener, and testing all safety features. Custom doors or doors requiring additional modifications may take longer. We'll provide a time estimate during your consultation. Our technicians work efficiently while ensuring every installation meets safety standards and manufacturer specifications.

What warranty do you offer on repairs and installations?

We stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties. Labor is covered for 1 year on all repairs and installations.
