Garage Door Spring Repair & Replacement in MA

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.

Common Garage Door Problems in Massachusetts

From the Berkshire Mountains to Cape Cod and everywhere in between, the topography and weather patterns in Massachusetts are some of the most diverse in the country. Though there’s nuance within them, the Bay State is broadly divided into four main regions that affect garage doors and their components in unique ways: the East Coast, Southeast region, the Central Interior and Western Massachusetts.

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

Garage Door Repair Costs in Massachusetts

The amount you’ll pay to have your garage door and its systems repaired depends on where you live in Massachusetts, 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 a bigger city like Boston, for example, garage door companies there are likely to charge more than those in smaller areas. 

Repair Type	Average Repair Cost in Massachusetts
Labor	$50 – $150 per hour
Garage Door Opener Repair	$150 – $300+
Spring Repair	$150 – $400+
