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.

What moves the price in South San Francisco

Two housing stocks, two price patterns. The Sunshine Gardens and Buri Buri tracts are postwar single-car garages where a spring job is a spring job. The newer hillside builds above Westborough carry double doors with two-spring counterbalance systems, which means the spring pair from $320 rather than the single spring from $189. Tell us which side of town you are on and we can give you a closer price on the phone.

Commercial roll-ups sit alongside homes. East of 101 the doors are commercial roll-ups and sectional loading doors. Those are quoted per door after we see the drum and the operator, because tension on a commercial curtain has nothing in common with a residential torsion spring.

Wind through the gap. The San Bruno gap funnels wind hard across the north side of the city. A door that rattles in its track wears rollers and hinges faster, so a lube and tune from $95 tends to pay for itself here more than it does inland.

Where these numbers come from

“The doors east of 101 are a different trade to the ones on the hill. Same street, same city, and the quote is built from a completely different set of parts.”
Alfonso, owner and lead technician, Alfonso Garage Door

From $189 for one torsion spring installed, from $320 for the pair. Doubles usually need the pair.

02Do you work on commercial roll-up doors east of 101?

Yes. Roll-ups are quoted after we see the curtain, drum and operator, because the tension system is not comparable to a residential door.

Yes, in writing, before any tool comes out of the van. Any change to that figure needs your written approval first.

The repair is priced from the same list at any hour. The diagnostic starts at $45 and costs more after hours.

05How long does a spring replacement take?

Usually 45 to 90 minutes on site for one door, including a balance check and a safety test of the auto-reverse.
