Hayward
Hayward doors and what they need
On a 1950s Hayward house the door, the track and the springs are often the same age, so the price question is repair or replace. Older wood doors there often run a pair of extension springs, priced on the spring repair page, rather than one torsion spring.
Repair or replace on a 1950s opening
On a house from the 1950s the door is rarely the original, but the replacement can itself be thirty years old, and its track, rollers and springs went in together. Fixing one of them, from $200 for a spring or $250 for a roller set, is the right call when the panels are sound. When the panels are dented, the track is rusted at the floor and the spring is on its way, three repairs a year apart add up to more than a new door installed from $1,500, and the new door brings new track and hardware with it. You get both figures and the reasons for each, and the choice is yours.
Narrow openings and single-car doors
Plenty of 1950s garages were built for one car, and the opening is narrower and lower than a two-car door. A single door costs less to replace than a double, so the $1,500 starting figure is closer to the real figure on a single-car opening than it is on a wide modern one. Where the original wood door is still in the opening it usually runs on a pair of extension springs rather than one torsion spring, and the pair starts at $225 installed, safety cables included in the check.
Wet slabs and rusted hardware
Hayward's own weather station records about 2,060 hours a year above 80% humidity, nearly a quarter of all hours, and the damp peaks before dawn: 76.7% humidity at 5am against 52.2% at 1pm. A door that has spent decades closed on a damp slab rusts at the bottom bracket, the lower track and the cable drums first. Cables from $200 for the pair and a nylon roller set from $250 fix the moving parts. A track rusted through at the floor is a new section, priced with the job. From the office the trip is 13 to 18 minutes off peak on I-880, and the price doesn't change with the drive.

Questions
Cost questions from Hayward
How much is a torsion spring on a Hayward door?
From $200 installed, the same starting price as Newark. On an older Hayward door we check the spring against the door's weight first, because a replacement door hung in a 1950s opening sometimes carries a spring sized for a different door, and the right spring for the weight is what makes the next set last.
Should I repair or replace an old Hayward garage door?
Repair when the panels are sound and one part has failed. Replace when the spring, the track and the panels are all of an age, because three repairs a year apart cost more than one new door from $1,500, and the new door brings new track and hardware. Both figures are given in the driveway, and nothing starts until you pick one.
Do you charge more to drive to Hayward?
No. Tennyson Road is 13 to 18 minutes from our Centerville office off peak, and the price is the job price from the table above whether the door is in Hayward or in Newark. Call any time and we tell you when we can be there.
My old wood door has a spring on each side. Is that priced the same?
Those are extension springs, common on the original doors of 1950s houses, and they are a different part from the torsion spring in the table. The pair starts at $225 installed, replaced together with safety cables, which many older installs never had.
Which parts of Hayward do you cover?
Mt Eden, Fairway Park and the Tennyson-Alquire streets first, being the part of Hayward closest to our Fremont office, and downtown Hayward at 17 to 22 minutes off peak. For the northern end of the city, call any time and we tell you when we can be there.
