Bloomington's Same-Day Garage Door Pro

Replacing a single torsion spring costs $150–$250 including labor. Replacing both springs (always recommended) runs $200–$350. We stock springs for all residential door sizes and complete most repairs the same day you call.

Standard springs are rated for 10,000 cycles — about 7 years for a family using the door 4 times daily. High-cycle springs (25,000+ cycles) are available and worth the small upgrade cost. When one breaks, always replace both — the other is equally worn.

We strongly advise against it. Torsion springs are under extreme tension and can cause severe injury if they snap during winding. This is one of the most dangerous DIY repairs a homeowner can attempt. A professional repair costs far less than an ER visit.

A new single-car door installed runs $700–$1,500 for standard steel. Double-car doors run $900–$2,500. Insulated, wood, or carriage-house styles cost more. Adding a new opener is $250–$500 extra. Most installs are completed same day or next day.

Most common causes: misaligned safety sensors (check if the lights are solid green), an obstruction in the door's path, a limit switch needing adjustment, or worn rollers causing binding. Check the sensors first — even slight misalignment prevents closing as a safety feature.
