How Much Does Garage Door Spring Replacement Cost in Redmond, WA?
If your garage door suddenly stops opening — or opens partially and falls back down — a broken spring is likely to blame. Spring replacement is one of the most common garage door repairs in Redmond, WA, and knowing what to expect helps you avoid overpaying.
How Much Does Garage Door Spring Replacement Cost?
In the Redmond and greater Seattle area, garage door spring replacement typically costs between $150 and $350 depending on the spring type, quantity, and labor involved.
- Torsion springs (most common): $75–$150 per spring, plus $50–$100 labor
- Extension springs: $30–$75 per spring, plus labor
- High-cycle springs: $100–$200 per spring
At Kiki Garage Door, we recommend replacing both springs at the same time — even if only one is broken. Since springs wear at the same rate, the second one is likely to fail soon after.
Torsion vs. Extension Springs
Torsion springs are mounted above the door and are used in most modern Redmond homes. They offer better balance and last 10,000–20,000 cycles. Extension springs are mounted on the sides and are common in older homes — cheaper but shorter-lived.
Why You Should Never DIY a Spring Replacement
Garage door springs are under enormous tension — enough to cause serious injury. Professional technicians use specialized tools to safely replace springs. Call a licensed technician rather than risking injury.
