Once you find out that there’s something wrong with your garage door and it needs to get fixed, one of the first thoughts you have is about how much the repair will cost. You can’t avoid asking this question, especially if you’re on a tight budget and the need for repair came all too sudden.

Still, you have to be aware that the exact cost of the repair is going to largely depend on the nature and extent of the job. The most common garage door components that require repair are the following:

• Springs
• Cables
• Openers
• Sensors
• Lock

The average cost to get your garage door repaired is about $190.00, although that actual figure is going to depend on the type and size of garage door that you have. The repairs needed to be done are also going to play a role in the cost as the more extensive the repairs, the more costly it would be.

As for the range of garage door repair costs, it’s between $125.99 and $290.00 on average. Those figures already include both labor and materials. Keep in mind that you should let a professional check your garage door first to determine if repairs can still save it or if it already requires replacement. 

Replacing your garage door is significantly more expensive as it can set you back by as much as $1,800.00. Compare that to the cost of repair, which is usually less than $200.00 on average.
