Garage Door Repair Costs in 2017

Garage doors are an important facet of any home. Beyond storing your vehicles, garages are often home to a variety of expensive tools, sporting equipment, and other items. It is therefore essential to ensure that the garage door to your home is kept secure and in good, reliable, working order. But when things do go awry, you also don’t want to pay well above the average cost for repair. The following is a look at some of the most common problems and average garage door repair costs you can expect.

Common Garage Door Repair Costs for 2017

Damaged Wheel Track

If your door won’t open or close, the problem might be a damaged wheel track. Generally, such damages look like dents or metal bends that prevent complete closure. The typical repair cost for wheel tracks is between $125 and $155.

Broken Chains or Cables

If you have a garage door that falls a lot faster than normal or seems to bounce around both when going up and down, then your issue is likely a broken chain or cable. Replacing broken garage cables and chains can be extremely dangerous and is best left to an experienced garage door technician. The chains and cables are typically inexpensive, but due to the care and caution it takes to replace them, the repair costs can average between $150 and $200.

Dents, Dings and other Door Damages

Handy homeowners will find it fairly easy to fix most small dents and garage door dings. However, if they are more than cosmetic (or you generally prefer a professional to get the job done), you can expect to pay labor costs between $65 and $95/hour and for the repair itself to take between 30 and 90 minutes.
