Garage Door Repair in Ohio: Costs & Warning Signs You Can't Ignore

Part 1: How Much Does Garage Door Spring Replacement Cost in Ohio?

When your garage door springs fail, you need fast, affordable repairs. At Ohio Garage Door Guru, we specialize in transparent pricing for spring replacements across the Buckeye State.

Ohio Spring Replacement Cost Breakdown

Torsion Springs ($250-$450)

• Most common for modern doors

• Lasts 7-10 years (10,000+ cycles)

• Requires professional tools for safe installation

Extension Springs ($150-$300)

• Found on older/lighter doors

• Typically lasts 4-7 years

• Requires safety cables

Why Prices Vary:
✔️ Door weight/size

Pro Tip: Replacing both springs at once (even if only one broke) prevents future failures and saves money long-term.

Danger of DIY Spring Replacement

Garage door springs store enough energy to cause serious injury. The average ER visit from DIY attempts costs $5,000+ - far more than professional service!
