How much does it cost to replace a garage door spring?

The cost to replace a garage door spring typically ranges from $150 to $350, including parts and labor. The exact price depends on several factors: the type of spring (torsion springs cost more than extension springs), whether one or both springs need replacement, and the size and weight of your door. At , we provide transparent, upfront pricing before any work begins. We recommend replacing both springs at the same time, even if only one has failed—they typically have similar lifespans, and replacing both saves on future service calls. All our spring replacements include a warranty and thorough safety inspection of your entire garage door system.

How long does it take to install a new garage door?

A standard garage door installation typically takes between 3 to 5 hours, depending on the complexity of the job. This includes removing the old door, installing the new door and hardware, mounting the opener (if included), and testing all safety features. Factors that can affect installation time include: whether structural modifications are needed, the type of door being installed (insulated doors may take slightly longer), and whether a new opener is being installed.

San Jose's housing stock is incredibly diverse.

A technician who understands this variety can diagnose problems faster and carry the right replacement parts.

The climate here is gentler than many places, but it still takes a toll on garage door components. Springs typically last 7 to 9 years with normal use, not the 10 to 15 years some manufacturers claim. Our dry summers cause wood doors to contract, while occasional winter moisture makes metal tracks expand slightly. Rollers wear down from daily cycling, and opener gears strip out after thousands of operations. These aren't catastrophic failures, just normal wear that needs professional attention.
