Have you ever wondered why a broken spring can stop your whole opener cold and what a fair estimate looks like?
We’re a family-owned team serving Polk and nearby counties since 2014. We handle new installations and fast, reliable repairs, including broken springs and off-track systems.
National ranges for a standard replacement run from about $98 to $371, with extension springs often near the lower end and torsion springs toward the higher end. Heavier or insulated doors may push totals higher.
We explain pricing clearly, how spring type and door weight shape final quotes, and why replacing both springs at once protects your opener and prevents uneven wear.

Understanding the cost to replace garage door spring and what homeowners should expect
When a coil snaps, most homeowners want a clear path forward and a realistic idea of work and timing. We guide you through the visit and explain why many people call a professional rather than attempt a risky diy fix.
Life expectancy matters. Extension springs usually last about 7–12 years. Torsion springs often run 8–15 years. Age and use shape replacement decisions and future performance.
On a typical call we assess the assembly, match parts, balance the door, run safety tests, and clean up. Most jobs finish in one trip and include a final safety check before we leave.
- We confirm how many springs your door uses and whether paired replacement is best.
- We explain how type and door weight affect pricing and lifespan over the years.
- We outline common failure signs so you can avoid operating heavy doors and harming the opener.
Reach us Mon–Sat, 8:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m., at (321) 200-0727 or garagehomepros@gmail.com for fast, courteous, professional service.
Spring replacement cost overview: national price ranges and what drives pricing
Understanding national price bands helps you spot fair quotes and avoid surprises. We summarize industry ranges so you can benchmark an estimate quickly.
Typical national ranges include extension spring replacement at about $98–$200 and torsion spring replacement near $192–$371. Insulated and double-wide units push totals higher, while specialty styles like carriage doors sit between $200–$450.
- Per-spring vs per-door: some quotes list a per-spring price; others bundle parts and labor per door. Know how many springs your system uses.
- Single, double, multi-door: expect single-door totals around $150–$350 and multi-door jobs $275–$700 on many national references.
- Add-ons: cables, track work, opener service, and tune-ups can add $45–$450 depending on scope.
Why prices vary? Local labor rates, part quality, door weight, and travel all shape final pricing. We provide transparent quotes that include parts and labor, no after-hours fees, and quick local response. Call (321) 200-0727 for a detailed estimate tailored to your system.
Torsion springs vs. extension springs: price, lifespan, and value
Choosing the right spring setup affects daily use, safety, and long-term value for your home. We walk you through the trade-offs so you can pick what fits your doors and routine.
Torsion springs offer smoother travel, better balance, and longer life—typically 8–15 years with normal use. They cost more upfront (installed ranges often fall between $192–$371) but reduce wear on hardware and openers.
Extension springs suit lighter doors and carry a lower installed price, commonly near $98–$200. Lifespan is usually 7–12 years and they need more frequent tuning and inspection.
- Safety and tension: torsion systems keep high tension over a shaft, which improves balance and lowers unexpected failures.
- Value: include parts, setup, balancing, and final testing when you compare total replacement figures.
- Paired replacement: we strongly recommend replacing both springs together so tension stays even and the opener is protected.
We measure your door weight and cycles, then explain whether extension makes sense or if upgrading to torsion brings better long-term value. Call (321) 200-0727 for professional options and scheduling.
How door type and weight affect your spring replacement cost
Different door styles change which hardware we use and how much work a service call will require.
Roll-up and sectional units
Roll-up and sectional models usually use torsion systems. Accurate spring sizing and precise balance give smooth, quiet travel. Typical replacement ranges are $192–$371 for these units.
Tilt-up and single-panel models
Tilt-up, single-panel entries often use extension setups. These systems have lower initial ranges near $98–$200. They need more frequent checks over the years and basic tuning.
Insulated, double-wide, and carriage-style doors
Heavier panels like insulated, double-wide, and carriage styles require stronger parts and more labor. Expect higher ranges: insulated $250–$400, double doors $300–$600, carriage $200–$450.
- We weigh and measure each unit and matching hardware for correct spring selection.
- Prices reflect parts, setup time, and careful balancing—not just the coil itself.
- Our trucks carry common sizes so we often finish in one visit.
We serve Polk, Osceola, Lake, Orange, and Seminole counties with quick scheduling and no after-hours fees. Call for clear estimates and professional repairs.
Common add-ons and related repairs that influence your final price
Many homeowners learn that a single visit often uncovers other parts that need attention. We inspect the whole system and list options so you can decide. Bundling saves labor and reduces repeat trips.
Cable replacement and drum / track work
Cables and drums wear with use. If we see fray or stretch, replacing cables with the springs restores balanced lift and lowers risk of sudden failure.
- Typical cable replacement: $98–$120.
- Track realignment: $100–$175; track replacement: $147–$200.
Track repair, panel concerns, and rollers
Minor track fixes improve travel and protect the opener. Damaged panels raise replacement totals and add labor time.
- Panel replacement: $860–$1,200.
- Realignment reduces wear on rollers and springs and extends component life.
Opener service or replacement when systems fail
If a bad spring harmed the opener, we can service or swap it during the same visit. That saves labor and time and prevents mismatched parts from causing more repairs.
- Opener replacement ranges: $371–$450.
- Remote/keypad programming: $25–$75.
Basic tune-up, lubrication, and weather sealing
Our tune-up includes lubrication, tightening fasteners, and balance checks. Weather stripping improves comfort and efficiency and can be added during the visit.
- Basic tune-up: $45–$100.
- Weather sealing: $50–$150.
We provide bundled options that include cables, opener service, lubrication, and sealing. You approve every line item so final replacement costs match your budget. Call (321) 200-0727 for a package quote and clear pricing before we begin.
Labor costs, time on site, and location: the biggest cost variables
Labor and location often shape your final quote more than parts. We hire skilled techs and track local rates so we give clear, fair pricing.
Typical residential labor runs $75–$150 per hour. Commercial work may be $100–$300 per hour. Most jobs take about 30–90 minutes on site.
- Labor often represents the largest variable in an estimate, affected by schedule and scope.
- Urban rates can be 15–20% higher. Rural visits may include travel fees of $50–$150.
- We itemize parts, labor, and travel in every quote so you compare pricing clearly.
- Converting from extension to torsion typically runs $400–$800 and improves longevity and safety.
- We calibrate systems by weight and cycles, test balance, and check cables before we leave.

Safety first: why DIY spring work is risky and when to call a pro
High-tension coils fail without much warning and can turn a simple lift into a dangerous situation. We put safety first and step in quickly when a component shows signs of failure.
High-tension hazards and protecting your opener and door
Springs store a lot of energy. Mishandling them can cause serious injury and damage. We secure the panel and disconnect the opener when needed.
That protects electronics and prevents extra damage to the opener and tracks. Our techs use proper tools and procedures for safe spring work.
Signs your springs failed and immediate next steps
- Loud snap or pop when a coil breaks.
- Crooked or uneven travel and hard lifting.
- Squeaks, visible rust, or an opener that strains and stalls.
If you suspect a broken spring, do not force the panel. For safety, call us right away and we’ll guide you through next steps.
- We secure the door and relieve unsafe tension before we start.
- We restore balance, check auto-reverse, and verify travel limits.
- DIY attempts on torsion springs or extension springs under tension are risky—let our trained team handle the work.
Peace of mind matters. We arrive fast, work cleanly, and review safety checks before we leave. Call (321) 200-0727. We’re available Mon–Sat, 8:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m.
