Start with what broke
- A loud bang, and the door will not lift: most likely a broken spring. Leave the door where it is and see spring replacement cost.
- The door is crooked or out of its track: see door off track and repair cost. Do not keep running the opener.
- The motor hums but nothing moves, or the remote stopped working: see opener costs.
- The door is old, dented or uninsulated: see new door costs.
Why prices vary
Two quotes for the same repair can differ by hundreds of dollars. HomeGuide's main reasons are the type of repair, the door's material and style, the extent of damage, local labor rates and minimum service fees[1]. Whether the company replaces both springs or one, and after-hours rates, also move the price. Ask for a written price that lists parts, labor and any service call fee before work starts.
When to call a pro
- A spring or cable has snapped: springs hold the door's full weight under high tension.
- The door is off its track or hanging unevenly.
- The opener runs but the door does not move, or reverses for no reason.
