Frequently Asked Questions
Should I replace one torsion spring or both?
Most techs recommend replacing both on a two-spring door: the springs were installed together and the second usually fails soon after the first. Put the pair on the estimate and offer the single spring as the lower-cost line so the customer chooses.
What does a garage door spring replacement typically cost?
Typical US prices run about $150–$425 for a single torsion spring and $250–$550 for a pair, installed. Extension spring pairs run about $150–$350, and converting a Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster to standard torsion springs runs about $500–$2,250. Your price depends on spring size, door weight, travel and your labor rate; the table on this page lists the ranges.
How do I quote a Wayne Dalton TorqueMaster spring job?
TorqueMaster springs sit inside a closed tube, so a broken one is usually not a simple spring swap. Many companies quote a conversion to a standard torsion shaft, springs and drums instead, typically about $500–$2,250 depending on door size and market. Put the conversion on its own line and say in the notes why it replaces the original system.
How do I present a high-cycle spring upgrade?
Add it as its own line next to the standard pair and write the cycle ratings in the description (for example 10,000 vs 25,000 cycles). Customers who use the garage as the front door often take the upgrade when they see how much longer it lasts.
Should cables and rollers go on a spring estimate?
When they are worn, yes. A spring that snaps often frays the lift cables, and old rollers make the new springs work harder. List them as separate lines so the customer can see and approve each one.
