Starting prices, parts plus labor. What can raise the price: two springs instead of one, a heavy, insulated, wood or oversized door, worn cables, rollers or drums we find on the visit, or a part we have to order. You get the exact figure in writing before we start. Alfonso Garage Door is an insured Bay Area garage door company.
Wide doors, wider spring bills. San Mateo Park, Baywood and Aragon carry a lot of 16-foot doubles behind period homes. A 16-foot door is a two-spring counterbalance, so the starting figure there is the spring pair from $320, not the single spring.
Wood doors are still common. Carriage-style and solid wood doors weigh far more than a steel sectional, which means heavier springs, heavier hardware and a longer balance procedure. Where a wood door has swelled with winter damp, the fix is often a bigger track and hardware job rather than a spring repair.
Panel supply, not panel labor, sets the price. A single steel section starts at $250 installed, and the final price depends almost entirely on whether the manufacturer still makes your profile. On discontinued profiles we price both a section and a full door in the same visit so the comparison is in front of you.
“Half the calls in San Mateo Park are 16-foot doubles. People price a single spring on the phone, then find out their door has two. I would rather say it up front.”
On a 16-foot double, a full spring and cable rebuild starts at $500, and a new insulated double is a different order of money. The rebuild is usually the right call unless the sections themselves are failing. Starting prices for every service are on the San Francisco cost guide.

Yes. They need heavier springs and heavier hardware, and we spec them to the door’s actual weight rather than a chart.
