What’s included in every repair
- Free service call with any approved repair.
- A written, flat quote before work begins — no hidden fees.
- Parts and labour bundled into the price.
- No surcharge for weekends or holidays; same-day service available.
- Workmanship warranty on the repair.
What drives the cost up or down
- Door size & weight: double and oversized doors use larger, higher-cycle parts.
- Part quality / cycle rating: a 20,000–30,000-cycle spring costs more but lasts roughly twice as long.
- How many parts failed: a snapped spring often stresses cables — we quote everything before starting.
- Brand-specific parts: some opener boards and gears (LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie) cost more.
Repair vs replace
Single-component fixes (spring, cable, sensor, roller) almost always make sense. Consider a new door when panel replacement nears $500–$1,000, the door is 15+ years old, or you’re facing repeated failures. A new door starts at $1,350 supplied & installed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the service call free?
Yes. The diagnostic is free with any repair you approve. If you decide not to go ahead after the assessment, a flat $120 diagnostic fee applies. We never charge extra for evenings, weekends or holidays.
What’s the most common (and cheapest) garage door repair?
Sensor alignment and weather-seal replacement are the lowest-cost fixes ($120–$180). Broken torsion springs are the most common structural repair at $280–$460.
When is repair not worth it vs replacing the door?
If multiple sections are dented, the door is 15+ years old, or panel replacement approaches $500–$1,000, a new door (from $1,350 supplied & installed) is often the better long-term value.
Do you charge by the hour or a flat rate?
Flat, per-job pricing quoted in writing before any work starts — no hidden fees, no hourly surprises. Parts and labour are included in the quoted price.
Can most repairs be done the same day?
Yes — we stock common springs, cables, rollers and sensors on the van, so the majority of GTA repairs are completed in a single same-day visit.
Sources & standards: Garage door safety follows the UL 325 standard for automatic operators, and our technicians are certified by the International Door Association (IDEA). Pricing reflects current Royal Garage Doors rates for the GTA.
The bottom line: done right, the result is a garage door that opens quietly, balances correctly and is safe to use every day — backed by Royal's 1-year labour warranty so the outcome lasts.
