By far the most frequent call we get across DFW is a broken garage door spring. Homeowners in Dallas, Irving, Plano and Garland describe it the same way every time: "I heard a loud bang and now the door won't open."
That loud bang is almost always a torsion spring snapping. These springs are under extreme tension — they counterbalance the weight of your garage door so the opener doesn't have to lift it alone. When one breaks, the door becomes too heavy to operate safely.
Garage door springs are under hundreds of pounds of tension. A spring that snaps during a DIY repair can cause serious injury or death. This is one repair that should always be done by a professional — no exceptions.
Opener problems are the second most common call we get across DFW. Symptoms include: the door won't respond to the remote, the opener runs but the door doesn't move, grinding or clicking noises, or the door reverses immediately after closing.
New opener installation in DFW runs $250–$500 depending on the type — chain drive (cheapest, louder), belt drive (quiet, most popular), or screw drive. We install all major brands including LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie and Craftsman.
Several factors determine what you'll pay for garage door repair in the Dallas–Fort Worth area:
Always get a written estimate before work begins. Be cautious of companies that give you a very low service call fee ($29–$49) but then charge excessive amounts for parts. A reputable company will give you a full price for parts and labor upfront — before touching anything.
