-Prices Subject to ChangeService Rates:
Service calls are billed at $125 per hour for residential repairs and $175 per hour for industrial and commercial repairs. The minimum service call is for one hour.
Note: Standard company procedure for broken industrial and commercial torsion springs is to clamp, measure, and rewind your broken spring as a temporary repair until the new springs can be ordered. This allows the customer to continue using the door until the new spring or springs arrive. Hourly rates apply to clamping the spring. If we have the spring in our truck inventory, however, it will not be necessary to clamp the spring.
Residential Torsion Spring and Extension Spring Replacement Rates:
These jobs are normally billed at flat rates. Single-car spring replacements for 8 X 7 and 9 X 7 doors run $195.00. Double-car replacements for 16 X 7 doors run $255.00. If you have two torsion springs we recommend replacing both at the same time. If you prefer to replace only one of two springs the price is $245.
Add $40.00 per spring for doors that are 7'6" or 8' high, and add $40.00 per spring for doors that are 17' or 18' wide. If the door has more than two springs or heavier springs than normal, replacement will be billed at time and materials. These usually cost $250-300.
Residential Broken Cables: New cables sell for $55.00 plus tax each for torsion and $48.00 plus tax each for extension spring door. Labor usually runs $125.00 to $195.00.
Warranty: For service, the warranty is 90 days. Warranties on residential springs that we install covers parts and labor for two years. Warranty coverage is based on normal use and does not cover abuse or acts of God.

-Garage Door Prices – How Much Does A New Garage Door Cost?
The price of a garage door can range from $600 to more than $6,000; since that price range is too large to be at all helpful, this post will help you “ballpark” the price of a garage door. We will break it down according to the type of material used, providing a summary and price range for each type of garage door; so this post should be really helpful as a first step in deciding which garage door is right for you.
The size of the door effects the price, so you should begin by measuring your garage door. Standard garage door sizes are 8×7, 9×7,16X7, 8×8, 9×8, 16×8. For each type of door, I will quote the 8×7 garage doors. Prices for a 16×7 door will naturally be nearly twice the price, a 9×7 door to be about 10% more and then add 20%-25% for doors that are 8 foot high.
The material of the door will also have a big impact on the price you pay. However, whichever door you pick you can expect to have it for a long time. So, consider your needs at least as much as you consider the price. How much you paid is long forgotten 8 to 10 years down the road. You want to make sure it is something you will be happy with; so I will provide a summary of each door type as well as the price.
Steel Garage Door – Steel is the most common material used in garage doors and also the least expensive. When purchasing a steel garage door you will need to consider how much insulation to purchase, your best bet is to match the R value of your home. A typical home is R-12. The downside to steel is that it dents the nice thing about steel is the price.
8x7 Steel Garage Door Price: $800-$1200.
Vinyl Garage Door – Vinyl garage doors are becoming popular even though they are a little more expensive for 2 mains reasons. The first is they look nicer than steel because of a more realistic wood grain pattern. The second is vinyl’s ability to resist denting, which means they are going to look nicer for a long time.
8x7 Vinyl Garage Door Price: $1100-$1500. 
Wood Composite – The Green Garage Door, so said because they are made primarily from recycled material. Most people buy this door because it needs to be painted and that allows one to easily match the door to the home’s exterior. This is an excellent choice when you want to paint the door but retain a modest price tag.
8x7 Wood-Composite Garage Door Price: $1,000-$1,300 
Custom Wood & Carriage House Doors – There is no arguing with the natural beauty of wood. Hemlock, Cedar & Mahogany are the most common. Hemlock is often stained and Cedar & Mahogany are absolutely gorgeous as is. These types of doors will significantly enhance the beauty of a home’s exterior. So much in fact, they will often raise the value of the home. Expect to pay significantly more for these doors than the more common styles shown above.
Stain Grade Hemlock, Cedar & African Mahogany. 8x7 Wood Garage Doors Price:$2,000-$7,000
Carriage House Garage Door Price: $2,000 -$7,000

Garage Door Window Options – The Ultimate Resource Want to add style to your garage door? A simple solution is to add windows. Garage door windows are typically small and located at the highest section of the door. That way these windows can allow a natural lighting to the inside of your garage without allowing anyone to see inside. Most importantly, adding windows can make your garage door unique. Garage door windows can add to the decorative appeal of the entire front of your home. Enhancing your home’s curb appeal will have the neighbors staring and can even increase your home’s overall value. You can even find custom windows that harmonize with the rest of the window and door styles of your home. There are so many varieties available… you should be able to find exactly what you want for your home.
We’ve compiled the ultimate list of garage door window pages on the web and put them in one spot to make it easier for you to find exactly what you’re looking for.
-There are three main types of garage door openers: chain drives, screw drives and belt drives. Many times customers will ask our opinion on which one works best. Well, the absolute truth is that they all work fine for different types of lifestyles. It is really up to you to decide which one will be the best fit for you. We’ll tell you all the insides on each type and let you decide.
Chain drives use a metal chain to run the garage door on its track. Chain drives are the most common used drive, and they are typically the least expensive… but they are also the noisiest. If you have a detached garage far from the house (where the noise doesn’t matter), a chain drive is probably the best fit for you. If you like to be able to hear when the garage door is being opened or closed, so for instance you will know what time your kids are getting in throughout the night, then this may be a good choice for you. But if you’d rather no noise, say because there are bedrooms above the garage, the chain-drive might not be for you.
Belt drives are thought to be the best opener available. Belt drive openers run on a rubber belt and are as reliable as chain drives. But they are virtually silent! So if your garage is attached to the house, and you hate the noise involved with garage doors, this is definitely a good choice. However, belt drives cost more then chain drives. So for a little less noise, you’ll be paying a little more money.
Screw drives are the third type of opener. They use a lifting device that runs along a threaded steel rod. Basically there are fewer moving parts in the screw drive then in the other openers, so it’s less maintenance. These openers work well in constant climate, so they’ll be a great choice if you live in an area that has a typically constant temperature all year round. But if you live in an area that has hot summers and cold winters, a screw drive opener will not stand up to drastic temperature change. They are also slower moving and noisy. However, newer screw drives models offer a plastic lined track, which helps to reduce some of the noise and allow the door to open and close faster.
Whether someone chooses a belt drive or chain drive opener generally comes down to noise and money. Chain drive motors make a little more noise and cost a little less.
