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 does garage door spring replacement cost?
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.
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 springon 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 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 springsare 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), and more
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 at other companies, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you replace just one spring?
Technically, yes. However, we recommend replacing both springs at the same time. When one spring breaks, the other is usually near the end of its lifespan too. Replacing both ensures balanced operation and prevents a second service call in the near future.
How long do garage springs last?
Most standard torsion springs last between 7 and 10 years, or roughly 10,000 cycles. High-cycle springs can last significantly longer, making them a worthwhile investment for busy households.
Are there extra costs for heavier or custom doors?
Heavier and custom doors require stronger springs, which may cost more. During our assessment, we'll provide a clear quote based on your specific door type and weight so there are no surprises.
