Typical Price Factors
What Actually Affects Your Repair Price
Parts quality — OEM springs and cables cost more but last 2–3× longer than bargain parts
Number of failures — a snapped spring often means the second spring is close behind
Door age — parts for 20+ year old doors sometimes need to be sourced or upgraded
Corrosion from Montreal road salt and winter humidity, especially on lower panels and cables
Whether the opener needs re-programming or a full reset after the mechanical repair
Labour warranty scope — we always quote the warranty in writing on your invoice
When Repair Beats Replacement — and When It Doesn't
A repair is the right call when: 1. The door is under 15 years old and structurally intact 2. Only one or two components have failed (spring, cable, opener, sensor) 3. Panels are cosmetically damaged but the door still seals properly 4. You want to spread the cost of a full replacement over another season A full replacement usually makes more financial sense when: 1. Multiple systems are failing at once (springs + cables + opener) 2. The door has severe rust-through or rot on the bottom panel 3. The door is uninsulated in an attached garage — heat loss adds up fast in Montreal winters 4. You've had three or more repair calls in the last 24 months Our tech will lay both options out on-site with real numbers, so you can decide with all the facts.
Common Repair Scenarios and What Moves the Price
Broken torsion spring — replacement pair is standard; oil-tempered vs. galvanized changes the cost
Snapped lift cable — one side alone is straightforward; both sides plus drums is a bigger visit
Off-track door — realignment only vs. bent track section replacement vs. full roller swap
Opener not responding — capacitor or gear swap, logic board, or full opener replacement
Panel damage — single-panel swap is often cheaper than assuming a full replacement is needed
Weather seal failure — bottom astragal + jamb seals refresh the door and cut cold air infiltration
