The cost of any garage door repair can vary according to the size, type and quality of the garage door. But there are some generalizations that hold true across the board. Before you get annoyed with the price ranges of various overhead door repairs, consider the cost of entirely replacing a broken garage door. You’ll realize even the heftier price tags still pale in comparison to installing a new garage door and automatic opener.

Costs for Garage Door Repair Visits

You can expect an average home garage repair visit to cost around $135, though accessibility and working conditions may affect the price. Business locations may range close to $190. Apartments may be in the $150 range. If your garage is at the end of a 4 mile gravel road on the side of a cliff – we’re probably talking a bit more than that. You understand.

Problems with garage door openers, torsion spring replacement, or eye sensor replacement cost about $150. 

Issues that prevent a door from closing, such as a door that’s off-track or an opener that’s forgotten its open and close limits may cost about $125.

Cost can vary according to the type of garage door as well: 

• Roll up overhead doors operate on a track system. Roll up doors involve a good deal of components, but they are easier to access for repairs. Costs average about $130
• Tilting or swinging doors are powered by springs. Though the functionality of tilt doors are simpler, working with a heavier, single door can be difficult, so the repairs are a little pricier. These costs average $180.
• We won’t lie – double carriage house-styled garage doors are going to run you a bit more; but you’d probably expect that, given that having those sorts of garage doors installed in the first place is pricey. Which is even more of a reason you should keep up on maintenance and repairs; don’t neglect your expensive carriage-style garage doors and end up with way more expensive repair and replacement costs. Not worth it.

Of course, you can save money through doing some garage door repairs yourself, if you know what you are doing. Be careful, however; some repairs are just not safe to do on your own. Case in point: your garage door’s springs. Whether torsion or extension, compromised springs are dangerous and are best left to a professional in overhead door operations.
