Hillside garages under living space. Sun Valley, Dominican and Gerstle Park are full of homes where the garage carries the floor above it. That means a heavier header, older framing and doors that were cut to fit an opening rather than ordered to a standard size. Custom-width doors move the new-door figure to the upper half of its range.
Creek-side damp. Homes near San Rafael and Las Gallinas creeks run humid year round. Bottom brackets, cables and the lowest hinges corrode from the ground up, which is why the cable-plus-drum line at $190 to $360 gets quoted here more often than the cable-only line.
Detached garages and long door runs. A detached garage off an alley usually has its own opener on a longer rail with an outdoor keypad. Those keypads and their wiring fail from weather rather than use, and a controls fix lands well below the spring lines, at $60 to $220.
“In Marin the door is rarely the first thing to go. It is the bottom bracket and the cable, right where the water sits.”
When a door was cut to a non-standard opening, a replacement is a custom order and lands at the top of the $1,200 to $2,800 band. That pushes the repair-versus-replace line further toward repair than it sits elsewhere, and we say so in the quote. Every range is on the San Francisco cost guide.

A sealed-bearing nylon roller set at $130 to $260, usually with a lube and tune at $95 to $165. That combination takes most of the noise out of an older steel door.
