Cost to Repair a Garage Door
Typical costs for the repairs we do most often in Bryan, College Station and the Brazos Valley, parts and labor included. Your technician still gives you a written estimate after inspecting the system, and nothing gets done before you have seen it.
The most common cause of door failure. Double spring $479.12. We recommend replacing both at once: when one breaks the other is usually close behind, and doing them together saves a second service call.
Range $538.50 to $909.04 depending on drive type and horsepower. LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Craftsman. If the motor runs but the door will not move, the cause is almost always a broken spring, not the opener.
Worn rollers are the most common cause of a noisy door, and replacing them is one of the cheapest ways to quiet a door and extend its life.
Standard off-track repair. Do not force an off-track door open or closed. It puts stress on the opener, panels and cables, and it can injure someone.
8′ doors $186.12. Cables carry the door’s full weight, up to 250 pounds, every cycle. Humidity in the Brazos Valley accelerates corrosion, and cable failures often accompany a broken spring.
16′ seal $118.52. Stops drafts, water and pests. If the track itself is no longer usable it will also need replacing.
16′ track $102.58. Replaces the bottom seal track with new aluminum.
For minor damage we can install reinforcement struts. A single replacement panel starts at $512.35; a full 16×7 door starts at $3,201.27 when several panels are damaged or the model is discontinued.
Federal law requires the door to reverse when something is in its path. Misaligned, dirty or failed sensors stop the door closing, or worse, stop it reversing.
Lubricate springs and track, inspect all hardware and rollers, adjust track, tighten bolts, inspect center bearing plates, and a full door balance test. One coupon per door, not combinable. 10% senior discount (65+).
Prices include parts and labor and are subject to Texas sales tax. A service call covers the diagnosis and inspection; the repair is quoted separately in writing. Springs are under extreme tension and are never a DIY job.
What the Service Call Actually Buys
A service call is not just travel. It is the diagnosis, and the diagnosis is the part that determines whether you spend two hundred dollars or two thousand.
When Is an Estimate Free?
The short version: diagnosing a broken thing is a service call, quoting a new thing is free.
| What you need | Cost | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A new garage door quoted | Free | We measure the opening and price the door at no charge. |
| A new opener quoted on a working door | Free | No diagnosis needed, we are specifying a product. |
| A broken door diagnosed | Service call by zone | This is skilled diagnostic work, and it is what tells you what the repair really is. |
| A repair after diagnosis | Quoted in writing | You approve the number before work starts. |
| An emergency same-day call | Service call by zone | Same fee. We do not surcharge urgency. |
We do not charge more because your door broke on a Friday. The zone fee is the zone fee.
What Changes the Cost of a Repair
Once the diagnosis is done, these are the factors that determine the repair number.
Which part failed
A sensor alignment and a torsion spring replacement are not in the same universe of cost.
Door size and weight
A two-car door needs heavier springs and hardware than a single.
One spring or two
Doors with two springs are usually done as a pair, for good reasons.
Collateral damage
A spring that let go may have taken cables, drums or the track with it.
Parts availability
Discontinued panels and obsolete opener parts cost more to source, when they can be sourced.
