One spring or two? That's the question most homeowners ask when they get an estimate. If only one spring is broken, you can replace just that one. But if both are original and nearing their lifespan, replacing both at once actually saves money long-term.
Why? Labor is the bulk of the cost. Replacing a second spring while we're already there costs only $100 to $150 more. Calling us back six months later for the second spring means paying full labor twice.
Check our warning signs guide) to see if your door is showing multiple failure indicators. Slow opening, uneven movement, or grinding noises often mean both springs are stressed.
