Typical Repair Costs
These are real-world ranges based on Kansas City jobs. Your exact cost depends on parts, door type, and complexity — which is why we always quote before we start.
$150 – $350
Torsion springs (above door) or extension springs (sides). Most common repair — same-day service almost always available.
Learn more$75 – $250
Motor, circuit board, or remote issues. If the opener is beyond repair, a new unit runs $350–$650 installed — see below.
Learn more$100 – $200
Frayed or snapped lift cables. Often done at the same time as spring replacement to save a service call.
Learn more$200 – $600
Dented or damaged panels from car impact or weather. If more than 2 panels are damaged, full replacement is usually more cost-effective.

All ranges above reflect fully installed cost for Kansas City metro jobs in 2025–2026. Material costs fluctuate — your quote locks in the price.
Pricing Factors
Two doors, two very different prices — here's why, explained honestly.
A 16-foot double door uses roughly twice the material — and more labor — than a single 8-foot door. Oversized openings cost more.
Steel is the most affordable. Wood and wood-composite cost more. Insulated doors (foam core) add $200–$600 but pay back in energy savings for heated garages.
Plain flush panels cost less than carriage-house style. Add decorative windows, hardware, or custom colors and the price climbs accordingly.
Torsion springs (mounted above the door) are typically more than extension springs (on the sides), but they last longer and are safer — worth the difference.
Budget parts cost less upfront but often mean repeat service calls. We stock quality parts that last — and we'll tell you the trade-off either way.
Scheduled daytime jobs are least expensive. Same-day rush and true emergencies (overnight, weekends) carry an added service fee — always disclosed before we come out.
Why It's Different Here
Most garage door companies are franchises — they pay royalties to a parent company, and you pay for that through inflated prices and pressure to buy the most expensive option. Nate's is independently owned.
When Nate shows up, the person doing the work is the same person who gives you the quote. No sales team. No commission structure pushing you toward an $800 spring job that only needs $200 in parts.
"Nate gave me the quote over the phone, showed up when he said he would, and the final bill was exactly what he quoted. Refreshing."
"Other company quoted me $650 for a spring. Nate fixed it for $185. I'll never call anyone else."
Call or text — Nate answers personally. No automated menus, no call center. Just an honest quote from the person who'll do the work.
