A snapped garage door spring costs between $200 and $400 to replace at Blodgett Garage Doors, depending on whether you have a torsion or extension spring system. Most homeowners in Blodgett pay closer to $300 for both parts and labor. We'll give you an honest estimate before any work starts, no surprises.
Spring replacement isn't cheap, but it's far less expensive than ignoring a broken spring until your door won't budge. Let's cut through the confusion about garage door springs and show you what actually drives the cost in our area.
The two main garage door spring types are torsion and extension springs, and they carry different price tags. Torsion springs sit above your door and twist to lift the weight. Extension springs run along the sides of your door and stretch as it opens. A torsion spring replacement typically runs $250 to $350 in labor and parts combined. Extension spring jobs land closer to $150 to $250 per spring.
Why the difference? Torsion springs are under intense pressure, making replacement more dangerous and requiring specialized tools. Extension springs are simpler to swap, but most doors have two of them, so you're looking at two separate springs to replace. Either way, this is not a DIY project. A spring under that much tension can cause serious injury or death if it snaps unexpectedly during removal.
Your specific door weight determines spring size and how many springs you need. A standard residential door weighs between 300 and 500 pounds, usually handled by one torsion spring or two extension springs. Heavier insulated doors or custom commercial doors need stronger springs, pushing the estimate higher. An extra-heavy door might need a spring rated for 250 pounds per spring instead of 150 pounds, adding $50 to $100 to your total cost.
When you call for an estimate near me services, we measure your door, check the spring specifications, and give you a number that sticks. No hidden fees, no "gotcha" charges when we show up.

About 60 percent of your spring replacement cost goes to labor. A technician needs to safely remove the old spring, adjust tension on the new one, and test the door balance. This takes 1 to 2 hours depending on your setup. The spring itself (part cost) runs $80 to $150 for a standard torsion spring and $40 to $80 per extension spring. Then add a service call fee, usually $75 to $125 depending on whether you need emergency or same day service.

How much does it cost to replace one garage door spring? A single torsion spring replacement costs $250 to $350 including labor and parts. Extension springs run $150 to $250 per spring. Most residential doors need either one torsion or two extension springs. Visit our services page for current pricing.
Can I replace just one spring if I have two? Technically yes, but we recommend replacing both if they're the same age. Springs wear together, so replacing one often means the other fails within weeks. A full pair replacement offers better value and fewer callbacks.
