Garage Door Spring Replacement Cost in Calgary

Garage door spring replacement costs $380 to $480 in Calgary for a standard pair of torsion springs on a residential garage door. This is by far the most common repair we perform—springs account for roughly 60% of all garage door service calls in Calgary, largely due to our extreme temperature swings from -30°C to +30°C.

Why Do Spring Prices Vary?

Spring pricing depends on the wire gauge (thickness) required to lift your specific door. Heavier, taller, or insulated doors need thicker springs. We use a color-coding system that matches industry standards:

Yellow (.207): Standard single-car and lightweight double doors

White/Red/Brown/Green/Gold (.218–.250): Medium-weight insulated doors

Blue (.262): Heavy insulated double doors, most common in Calgary

Orange/Light Blue (.273–.283): Oversized or commercial-grade residential doors

Why Calgary’s Climate Kills Springs Faster

Based on our analysis of 32,000+ service calls, garage door springs in Calgary fail 30-40% sooner than the North American average. The culprit is our extreme temperature range. Metal expands and contracts with temperature changes, and Calgary’s 60°C annual swing (from -30°C to +30°C) creates significant metal fatigue. Chinook winds make this worse—we’ve documented spring failures spiking 340% during rapid Chinook temperature changes.

Garage Door Cable Replacement Cost

Garage door cable replacement costs $250 to $290 in Calgary for a standard pair. We always replace cables in pairs to reduce the chances of the second cable failure. Replacing both cables, the same as both springs, ensures the longevity of the counterbalance system. 

Cable Replacement Price Breakdown

Cable Service Price
Standard Cable Replacement (pair)
$250–$290 + GST
10-Foot High Door Cables
$340 + GST
Torquemaster System Conversion
$580 + GST
Extension Spring Conversion
$680 + GST
Premium Cables + Bottom Brackets + Rollers Set*
$380 + GST

*Premium options include a 5-year warranty. Subject to availability.

Important: Cable-related job pricing may vary if your door is partially stuck open, has bent rollers, or uses a Torquemaster system. We’ll always confirm the price before starting work.

Garage Door Opener Prices (LiftMaster)

A new garage door opener costs $780 to $1,890 in Calgary, fully installed. We exclusively install LiftMaster and German-made Sommer openers—after servicing 32,000+ doors, we’ve found they have the lowest callback rate and best cold-weather reliability for Calgary’s climate.

Frequently Asked Questions About Garage Door Repair Costs in Calgary

How much does garage door spring replacement cost in Calgary?

Garage door spring replacement in Calgary costs $380 to $480 for a standard pair of torsion springs. This price includes both springs (always recommended replacing together), professional installation, and a 1-year warranty. Heavy-duty springs for larger doors range from $580 to $680. Single-spring systems cost $280. Multi-spring systems (3 or 4 springs) range from $780 to $1,040. Premium quality springs with a 5-year warranty are available for $680.

Why do garage door companies charge different prices?

Price differences usually come down to hidden fees, spring quality, and warranty length. Some companies advertise low prices but add service call fees ($80–$150), diagnostic fees, or weekend surcharges. Others use lower-quality springs with shorter lifespans. We publish all-inclusive prices with no hidden fees and use top-grade springs with a 1-5 year warranty.

How long does a garage door spring last in Calgary?

In Calgary, garage door springs typically last 5–8 years with average use (4 cycles per day). This is shorter than the North American average of 7–10 years because Calgary’s extreme temperature range (−30°C to +30°C) causes accelerated metal fatigue. Springs in homes that experience frequent Chinook temperature swings may fail even sooner.

Is it cheaper to repair or replace a garage door?

Repair is almost always cheaper. Common repairs like springs ($380–$480) or cables ($250–$290) cost a fraction of door replacement ($2,195–$2,995+). We recommend replacement only when panels are severely damaged, the door is over 20 years old, or repair costs would exceed 50% of replacement cost.

Do you charge extra for emergency or same-day service?

No. We charge the same price whether you call at 2 PM on Tuesday or 2 AM on Christmas morning. We handle 95% of calls same-day, and there’s never an extra charge for evenings, weekends, holidays, or “emergency” timing.

Why are two springs always replaced together?

When one spring breaks, the other has typically endured the same wear and will fail soon. Replacing both ensures balanced door operation, saves you a second service call within months, and maintains your warranty coverage. If only one spring breaks on a two-spring system and you choose to replace just one, we charge $280 but cannot offer a warranty on the single spring.

What’s the average cost of a garage door opener in Calgary?

A new LiftMaster garage door opener in Calgary costs $780 to $1,620 installed for standard overhead openers, or $1,280 to $1,890 for wall-mount jackshaft openers. The basic LM2220L chain drive starts at $780, while the ultra-quiet LM6580L belt drive with camera and battery backup starts at $980. Heavy-duty LM4690L chain openers with all features start at $1,480. If you’re installing an opener where none existed before (bare installation), add $100 to these prices.

Do your prices include GST?

All prices listed are plus GST (5%). The prices include parts, labor, and warranty—GST is the only addition.

What areas do you service?

We service Calgary and surrounding communities including Airdrie, Cochrane, Okotoks, Chestermere, and areas within our service boundary. There are no travel charges within our service area.

How do I know if I need spring replacement vs. other repairs?

Signs of broken springs include: the door won’t open (or feels extremely heavy when opening manually), you heard a loud bang from the garage, there’s a visible gap in one of the springs above the door. If your opener struggles to lift the door, spring is the main concern.

What warranty do you offer on repairs?

All repairs include a 1-year warranty covering parts and labor. If the part we installed fails within a year, we’ll replace it at no charge. LiftMaster openers carry the manufacturer’s warranty. Premium quality springs and cable sets are available with a 5-year warranty.

Can I DIY garage door spring replacement to save money?

We strongly advise against it. Garage door springs are under extreme tension—a standard spring stores enough energy to cause serious injury or death if it releases unexpectedly. Professional technicians have specialized tools, training, and safety equipment. The $380–$480 cost for professional replacement is a small price for safety.

What’s the difference between replacement installation and bare installation for openers?

A replacement installation means we’re installing a new opener where one already exists—the wiring, mounting hardware, and infrastructure are already in place. A bare installation means there’s no existing opener, so we need to install electrical connections, mount new hardware, and set up everything from scratch. Bare installations add $100 to the opener price to cover this additional work.

Can you install the opener I purchased myself?

Yes. We charge $290 to install a customer-supplied Chamberlain or Craftsman opener, or $320 for jackshaft openers. For bare installations (no existing opener), the prices are $390 and $420 respectively. Warranty coverage for customer-supplied openers is limited to our installation work, not the opener itself.
