How much does garage door repair typically cost?

Spring replacements typically range from $150-$350, while cable repairs usually fall between $100-$200.

What brands of garage doors and openers do you service?

How long do garage door springs last?

Standard torsion springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles (one open and one close equals one cycle). For a typical household that uses the garage door 3-4 times daily, this translates to roughly 7-10 years. High-cycle springs are available for doors that see heavier use and can last 20,000-50,000 cycles. Regular maintenance and lubrication can help extend spring life.

Can you add windows to my existing garage door?

Yes, in many cases we can add windows to existing garage doors. This involves cutting precise openings in the door panels and installing window inserts. However, not all doors are suitable for window installation—the door material, panel design, and structural integrity all factor into whether this modification is possible. We offer free consultations to evaluate your door and discuss options.

What should I do if my garage door won't open or close?

First, check if the opener is receiving power and that the photo-eye sensors aren't obstructed or misaligned. Try using the wall button instead of the remote. If the door still won't operate, try the emergency release to operate manually—if it's extremely heavy or won't move, there may be a spring issue. For safety, don't force the door. Call us for immediate assistance, and we can often diagnose problems over the phone before dispatching a technician.
