What Moves the Price
Door size and weight
A double door weighs roughly twice what a single does, and everything that lifts it has to be sized to match. Heavier doors need heavier springs, sturdier cables, and more capable openers, so the same repair costs more on a bigger door.
Spring cycle rating
Springs are rated in cycles, one cycle being one open and one close. A standard spring runs about 10,000 cycles, which for most homes is seven to twelve years. High cycle springs cost more up front and last considerably longer. If your garage door is the main way into the house, the upgrade usually pays for itself. Our post on how the two spring systems differ explains which one you are looking at.
One spring or the pair
When one spring breaks on a two spring door, the other is the same age and has done the same work. This is one of the calls we take most often; see how we handle spring replacement. Replacing only the broken one often means a second service call within a year or so. Doing the pair costs more today and usually less over the life of the door, but it's your call and we'll price it either way.
Insulation level
Doors come single layer, double layer, and triple layer. Insulation adds material and weight, which is most of the price difference between an entry level door and a premium one. It's worth paying for on an attached garage or a heated shop, and less so on a detached garage you only park in. In this climate the case for it is usually summer heat rather than winter cold.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about garage door pricing.
Why do you give ranges instead of flat prices?
Because garage doors aren't all the same. A spring for a light single-car door costs less than a high-cycle pair for a heavy insulated double. Until we see the door, a flat number would be a guess. The range tells you the territory, and the quote we give before we start tells you the price.Is the estimate free?
Yes. Estimates for new doors are free, and we itemize them so you can see what each part of the job costs. On repairs, the service call covers diagnosis, and we tell you the repair price before any work starts.I have another quote. Will you look at it?
Bring it and we'll go through it with you. Two quotes on the same door often aren't covering the same work, and which line items are missing matters more than the number at the bottom.
