The average garage door repair cost will be $200 to $400 if new parts are required.
The life of a torsion spring is determined by the number of cycles (open and closed) it experiences. The typical life is 10,000 cycles and may last 7-10 years based on how often the door is operated.
The cost of replacing a spring will typically cost around $200 to $350 parts and labor.
If your door has multiple springs, they both should be replaced. Wear will occur at approximately the same rate and the spring will weaken over time making it necessary to replace both springs in order to properly balance the door.
Operating systems will start around $350 installed for a standard professional grade chain drive.
A garage door is one of the major mechanical systems that may be used multiple times a day in your home. Research has shown that a premium garage door replacement will provide a 98.7% return on investment.

This may require an adjustment of the travel settings on the operator. The travel settings determine how far the door is opened and closed.
A variety of problems could cause this. A malfunction of the operator or part failure of the door itself could prevent the door from opening. Each situation will vary.
Damaged panels or sections can be reinforced or braced with struts to make them functional if they are not severely damaged. If the door is significantly compromised or damaged there is not a way to repair the door cosmetically.
