Visit Houston Garage Door Repair CoA garage door that suddenly won't open is most often a snapped torsion spring, not a dead motor, so get a tech who diagnoses before quoting a full replacement. Houston's heat and Gulf humidity are hard on rollers, hinges, and steel hardware, and coastal salt air speeds up rust, so ask about galvanized or rust-resistant parts. Broken springs are dangerous to handle yourself — the springs are under high tension — so this is one repair worth leaving to a pro. Get the quote in writing and ask whether the fix is a repair or a replacement before work starts.
Garage door repairs are priced by the part and labor. Expect roughly $150-$350 to replace a broken torsion spring, $150-$300 for a new opener install (plus the unit), and $100-$250 for roller, cable, or track fixes. A full door replacement runs much higher.
The most common cause is a snapped torsion spring, which leaves the opener unable to lift the door's weight. A dead opener, broken cable, or door off its track are the next likeliest causes.
It is strongly discouraged. Torsion springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury if they release. This is a repair best left to a trained technician.
A single torsion spring replacement typically runs about $150-$350 installed. Doors with two springs usually cost more, and it is often wise to replace both at once.
