How much does it cost to repair a garage door spring?

The cost to repair a garage door spring typically ranges from $150 to $350, depending on the type of spring (torsion vs extension), the size of your door, and whether both springs need replacement. At Garage Door Covina, we provide free estimates before any work begins, so you'll always know the exact cost upfront. We recommend replacing both springs at the same time if one breaks, as the other is likely to fail soon. Our pricing includes parts, labor, and a warranty on our work. For an accurate quote specific to your situation, give us a call at (626) 507-9759.

How long does it take to install a new garage door?

A standard garage door installation typically takes 4-6 hours for a single door, though this can vary based on several factors. If we're removing an old door first, that adds about an hour to the process. Custom doors or doors requiring additional modifications may take longer. Complex installations involving new tracks, reinforcement, or electrical work for openers could extend to a full day. At Garage Door Covina, we pride ourselves on efficient, quality installations. We'll provide you with a time estimate during your free consultation. Most residential installations are completed in a single visit, so you can start enjoying your new door the same day.

What brands of garage door openers do you install?

How often should I have my garage door serviced?

We recommend annual professional maintenance for optimal garage door performance and longevity. During a maintenance visit, our technicians inspect all hardware, lubricate moving parts, test safety features, adjust spring tension, and identify potential issues before they become costly repairs. Regular maintenance can extend your garage door's lifespan by 5-10 years and prevent unexpected breakdowns. Between professional visits, homeowners should visually inspect their door monthly and listen for unusual sounds during operation. Call (626) 507-9759 to schedule your annual tune-up.
