Garage Door Spring Repair & Replacement in AZ

Garage door springs help counterbalance the door’s weight by tightening when it closes and loosening when it opens. Torsion springs are tightly wound coils located above the garage door that store and release energy to open and close it. Extension springs run parallel to the horizontal tracks on either side of the garage door, expanding and contracting to raise or lower it.  

Both torsion and extension springs are under immense pressure and pose a serious safety risk if not handled properly. Repairing or replacing springs requires training, specific safety measures, specialty tools and attention to detail, which is why we always recommend hiring a professional.

Professional technicians in Arizona are trained to handle any issue that arises with your garage door opener. Whether you have a chain, belt, screw or jackshaft drive system, smart home features, or a dusty old workhorse, they can handle it all. 

Some common issues that might warrant a visit from a technician include: 

  • Inconsistent safety sensor performance
  • Door reverses before fully opening or closing
  • Noisy operation

Common Garage Door Problems in Arizona

Arizona is divided into three main regions, each of which affects garage doors and their components in unique ways. The weather in northern Arizona’s Colorado Plateau region varies widely, with hot, dry summers and cold, snowy winters. The Transition Zone in central Arizona has a more moderate climate, but still experiences hot summers and cold winters. Finally, the Basin and Range Province, home to Phoenix and Tucson, is known for its hot, dry summers and mild winters. 

Our table lays out some of the most frequently serviced garage door issues in Arizona and how to help prevent them.

Garage Door Repair Costs in Arizona

The amount you’ll pay to have your garage door and its systems repaired depends on where you live in Arizona, the type of repair needed, labor rates in your area and whether the job requires a permit. 

Due to the higher cost of operating a business in bigger cities like Phoenix and Tucson, for example, garage door companies there are likely to charge more than those in smaller areas. 

Repair TypeAverage Repair Cost in Arizona
Labor$100 – $150 per hour
Garage Door Opener Repair$150 – $400+

Track Repair$200 – $400+
