Breaking Down the Cost of Garage Door Springs in Edmonton

If your garage door suddenly stops working or feels unusually heavy, a broken spring may be the reason, and the first question you’re likely to ask is: How much garage door spring replacement costs ?

At Garage Door Fix, we understand how stressful unexpected repairs can be. That’s why we believe in transparency, fair pricing, and educating Edmonton homeowners about what goes into garage spring replacement costs.

What’s the Average Cost for Garage Spring Replacement in Edmonton?

In Edmonton, the cost of replacing garage door springs typically ranges from $200 to $350 per spring, while the cost at Garage Door Fix is between $190 and $240 per spring on a two-spring setup. The final price depends on several important factors, which we’ll break down below.

Unlike some companies that offer a vague “flat fee,” where they later add travel fees, labor charges, etc., Garage Door Fix provides detailed quotes tailored to your door’s specifications. We don’t upsell or surprise you with hidden fees.

5 Key Factors That Influence Garage Spring Replacement Pricing

1. Spring Type (Torsion vs. Torquemaster)

Torsion springs (most common in Edmonton) are more durable and most popular since they can handle a wide range of doors, from light, non-insulated, to heavy, custom wooden doors.
Torquemaster springs are used with Wayne Dalton garage doors, and typically can’t handle heavily insulated garage doors.

🔧 At Garage Door Fix, we almost always recommend torsion springs for safety and longevity.

2. Door Size and Weight

The heavier your garage door (especially custom or insulated doors), the more robust and costly your springs will need to be.

📏 We custom-match spring sizes based on door weight, using industry-standard color-coded springs:

Blue (.262), Gold (.250), Green (.243), Brown (.234), Red (.225), etc.

3. Labor and Professional Installation

Labor accounts for a portion of the cost, and for good reason. Garage spring replacement is not a DIY job—it’s a high-tension operation that requires proper tools and training.

💡 Garage Door Fix technicians are highly trained and bring years of experience handling thousands of spring repairs across Edmonton.

4. Emergency or Same-Day Service

Need help right away? Same-day or weekend service may add a significant amount to the total bill, but not with Garage Door Fix. We DO NOT charge extra for weekends, evenings, or holidays. Same-day service at no extra cost is our goal!

5. Quality of Parts

Some companies install low-grade, imported springs that fail quickly. We only use high-grade garage door springs, giving you longer lifespan and fewer future repairs.

📦 Every spring we install meets or exceeds manufacturer durability standards and includes a one-year warranty.
