Most Denver garage door repairs cost between $145 and $425. Torsion spring replacement averages $225–$385 for a matched pair, opener repair runs $145–$295, cable and roller replacement $145–$265, and a single panel replacement $285–$650. A full new door install starts around $1,150 for a basic steel door and $2,400–$4,800 for an insulated carriage-house door. Every price is quoted in writing before work starts.
A single torsion spring replacement is typically $225–$310 installed, and a matched pair is $325–$385. We always recommend replacing both springs at once — they wear at the same rate, and doing both in one visit avoids paying a second service call within a year.
We quote a flat, upfront price for the repair before any work begins, and the diagnostic is included when you proceed with the repair. There are no hidden after-hours surcharges on standard emergency calls.
Repair is usually the better value when the door panels are straight and the door is under about 15 years old — springs, cables, rollers, and openers are all replaceable parts. Replacement makes more sense when two or more panels are dented or rusted, when the door is uninsulated in a Colorado climate, or when repair quotes approach half the cost of a new door.

Spring replacement takes 45–90 minutes. Opener repair takes 60–90 minutes, and a full opener installation takes about 2 hours. Cable or roller replacement takes under an hour. A complete new door installation takes 3–5 hours.
The most common cause is a broken torsion spring — you'll usually hear a loud bang, then the door feels extremely heavy and the opener strains without lifting. Other causes are a snapped lift cable, a burned-out opener gear, misaligned photo-eye safety sensors, or a door that has come off its track. A broken spring is never a DIY fix; the spring stores enough energy to cause serious injury.
Nine times out of ten the photo-eye safety sensors near the floor are misaligned, dirty, or obstructed. Wipe both lenses, confirm both indicator lights are solid (not blinking), and clear anything in the beam path. If it still reverses, the close-force limit on the opener needs adjusting or a roller is binding in the track.
Noise usually comes from worn steel rollers, dry hinges and bearings, or loose track hardware. Colorado's dry air accelerates lubricant loss. A tune-up — nylon rollers, bearing lubrication, hardware torque, and spring balance — quietly resolves most noise complaints for $95–$165.
Yes. Below-freezing temperatures thicken lubricant, contract metal, and make brittle springs far more likely to snap — which is why January and February are our busiest spring-replacement months. Weather seals also stiffen and let the door freeze to the slab. An annual fall tune-up dramatically reduces winter failures.
