Repair or replace guideHow much is a garage door spring in San Rafael?
Chen Garage Door replaces one torsion spring in San Rafael from $225, installed and balanced, and a pair on a two-spring door from $365. A heavy, insulated or wood door needs a larger spring. The quote visit is free, and you get the exact price before any work.
Do you charge an hourly rate?
No. We price by the job, and you get that price at the free quote visit, before any work. Our most common job, one torsion spring, starts from $225.
Is it cheaper to repair or replace?
Usually repair. Springs start from $225 and one section from $340. Replacing makes sense when a section is no longer made or the damage runs across several sections.
