Schaumburg Garage Door Pro | Schaumburg, IL
One of the most common questions we get from Schaumburg homeowners is: how much does garage door spring repair cost? The short answer is $150–$350 for most homes, but the full picture depends on the type of spring, the number of springs, and who does the work.
Torsion springs run horizontally above the door opening. They're the standard on most modern doors and cost $200–$350 to replace (parts + labor). They last longer and are safer when they break.
Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side of the door. They're less expensive — usually $150–$250 — but should always be replaced in pairs even if only one has snapped.
Technically yes — springs are sold online. But we strongly advise against it. Torsion springs store enormous energy (enough to cause serious injury or death when released improperly). Professional technicians have the winding bars, safety glasses, and training to do it safely. A $50 savings isn't worth the risk.
At Schaumburg Garage Door Pro, spring replacement includes: spring removal and disposal, new spring installation, cable inspection, door balance test, and lubrication of all moving parts. We carry common spring sizes on our trucks so most jobs are done same day.
For a single-car door with a standard torsion spring, expect to pay $175–$250. Two-car doors typically run $225–$350. Call us for a free estimate — we'll tell you exactly what's needed before we start any work.
