Heavy wood doors need bigger springs

04 Questions
Fairfax price questions
All pricesWhat does it cost to fix a garage door in Fairfax?
Chen Garage Door's Fairfax prices start from $225 for one torsion spring and from $365 for a pair. Fairfax is about 8 minutes from our shop without traffic, and the quote visit is free.
Is a new door cheaper than new springs on an old wood door?
Not usually, but a lighter steel door changes the spring math for the next fifteen years. When the wood door is near the end, you get both prices at the visit.
Is Fairfax on the same price list?
Yes. Sir Francis Drake runs almost straight from our shop to Fairfax, and the prices here are the same as downtown San Rafael, at any hour.
