What does it cost?
| Repair | Typical range |
|---|---|
Broken torsion spring (replace) Per spring, parts and labor. Doors with two springs are often replaced as a pair; a pair with drums is about $300 to $700. | $150–$350Estimate |
Broken extension spring (replace) Per spring. Extension springs come in pairs, one per side, and safety cables should be checked at the same visit. | $100–$250Estimate |
Snapped or frayed cable Usually per pair. A cable break often happens with a spring failure. | $100–$300Estimate |
Door off track Low end is realigning a bent track. Higher end includes replacing a track section or rollers. | $125–$350Estimate |
Opener repair Covers sensors, circuit boards, gears and remotes. Parts availability varies by opener age. | $100–$300Estimate |
Opener replacement (installed) Depends on motor type: chain, belt or smart opener. Often worth it when repair cost nears half of a new unit. | $350–$900Estimate |
Damaged panel (replace one section) Depends on door model and whether a matching section is still made. Insulated and custom panels cost more. | $250–$1,200Estimate |
Rollers (replace set) Nylon rollers run quieter than steel. Often done together with a spring service. | $100–$250Estimate |
Service call or diagnostic fee Ask whether the fee is applied to the repair if you approve the work. | $50–$150Estimate |
