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

The cost of garage door spring repair typically ranges from $150 to $350, depending on the type of spring system you have (torsion or extension springs), the quality of springs used, and the labor involved. Torsion springs, which are mounted above the door, generally cost more to replace than extension springs. At Garage Door Menifee, we provide free estimates and transparent pricing before starting any work. We use high-quality springs rated for 25,000+ cycles to ensure longevity. Keep in mind that spring replacement should always be done by professionals due to the high tension involved – attempting DIY repair can be extremely dangerous.

How long does a garage door installation take?

A standard garage door installation typically takes 3 to 5 hours for a single door and 5 to 7 hours for a double door, depending on the complexity of the installation. This includes removing the old door (if applicable), installing the new door panels, tracks, springs, and hardware, mounting the opener, and programming remotes. Factors that can affect installation time include the door's weight and size, whether structural modifications are needed, and the type of opener being installed. Our experienced technicians work efficiently while ensuring every detail is perfect. We always test the door thoroughly and show you how to operate all features before we leave.

What are the signs that my garage door needs repair?

There are several warning signs that indicate your garage door may need professional attention: 1) Unusual noises like grinding, squeaking, or banging during operation; 2) The door moves unevenly or appears crooked when opening/closing; 3) The door reverses before fully closing or won't close at all; 4) Visible damage to panels, springs, cables, or tracks; 5) The door opens or closes slower than usual; 6) The opener motor runs but the door doesn't move; 7) The remote or wall switch becomes unresponsive; 8) Increased energy bills due to poor insulation or gaps. If you notice any of these issues, it's best to call a professional for an inspection. Early repairs can prevent more costly problems and ensure your door operates safely.

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend having your garage door professionally serviced at least once a year. Annual maintenance helps prevent unexpected breakdowns, extends the life of your door and opener, and ensures safe operation. During a maintenance visit, our technicians will lubricate all moving parts, check spring tension and cable condition, tighten hardware, test safety features, inspect weatherstripping, and make any necessary adjustments. Homes with heavy garage door usage (4+ cycles per day) may benefit from semi-annual maintenance. Between professional visits, you can help maintain your door by keeping the tracks clean and listening for any unusual sounds.
