Common questions about costs and estimates for this service.
The average cost to replace a garage door spring is between $160 and $350, including labor and installation. Torsion springs are generally preferred by professionals over extension springs because they have a longer life span.
Replacement of one extension spring or a basic torsion spring typically falls into the Basic tier ($150–$350). For one or two torsion springs for a standard garage door, the Mid-range tier ($275–$425) is appropriate. Replacing multiple springs, especially on large or heavy doors, falls into the Premium tier ($425–$900).
The key factors influencing cost are the type of spring (torsion vs. extension), the number of springs to be replaced, the size and weight of the garage door, any additional necessary repairs, and regional labor rates.
While not always strictly necessary for basic extension springs, professionals often recommend replacing both torsion springs because they are designed to work in conjunction. If one breaks, the other is likely to be near the end of its lifespan, and replacing both ensures balanced operation, extends the door's overall lifespan, and avoids a follow-up visit soon after.
Labor costs for general spring repair typically range between $133 and $168. For more specific tasks like coil spring replacement, labor can be estimated between $337 and $495. Some estimates also suggest a per-spring labor cost of $200–$300, excluding material costs.
