How Much Does Garage Door Spring Replacement Cost in Florida? (2026 Prices)

If your garage door spring just broke, you're probably wondering how much it will cost to fix. Here's an honest breakdown of spring replacement costs in Florida based on thousands of service calls.

Average Spring Replacement Costs (2026)

Single Torsion Spring Replacement: $200 - $300

This covers one standard torsion spring, hardware, and labor. Most single-car garage doors use one torsion spring.

Double Torsion Spring Replacement: $250 - $400

Two-car garage doors typically use two torsion springs. We strongly recommend replacing both springs at the same time, even if only one broke. The second spring is the same age and will likely fail soon.

Extension Spring Replacement: $150 - $250 per spring

Extension springs run along the sides of the door and are less expensive but also less durable than torsion springs. Includes safety cables (required by code).

What Affects the Price?

Spring size and weight rating: Heavier doors require larger, more expensive springs. A standard 8x7 door uses smaller springs than a 16x7 double door.

High-cycle vs. standard springs: Standard springs are rated for ~10,000 cycles. High-cycle springs (25,000-100,000 cycles) cost more upfront but last 2-10x longer. In Florida's humid climate, we recommend at least 25,000-cycle springs.

Emergency/after-hours service: Weekend and evening calls may include a modest emergency surcharge. Our company offers the same pricing 24/7 with no surprise fees.

Additional repairs needed: Sometimes a broken spring damages cables, drums, or bearings. These are usually minor add-ons ($50-$150 each).

Red Flags to Watch For

• "Free" service calls that aren't free: Some companies advertise free service calls but add hidden trip charges.
• Quoting over $500 for a single spring: Unless it's an unusually large commercial door, this is overpriced.
• Pressure to replace the entire door: A broken spring does NOT mean you need a new door.
• No upfront estimate: A reputable company always provides a written estimate before work begins.
