Why it varies

The door is heavy, insulated, wood or oversized.
We find worn cables, rollers or drums on the visit.
A part has to be ordered for your door.
Hillsborough
Hillsborough doors and what they need
Hillsborough's carriage and custom doors price above the starting figures, because springs are sized to the weighed door. A matched new door is priced against the house, from samples.
Weight sets the price before anything else does
The Hillsborough spring that fails early starts with an unweighed door. A clad overlay or timber carriage door carries far more mass than a catalog panel, so its springs and cables price above their $200 starting figures, sized off the scale reading. What you get for that is a door in balance, which is also what keeps the opener alive.
Custom replacements are priced from the elevation
The $1,500 and up figure for a new door is a floor, and a Hillsborough door specified to match the house sits well above it. We bring samples to the property and price the actual door against the actual elevation, because a custom door quoted from a screen is a quote that changes later. The number you approve is the one that arrives.
Questions
Cost questions from Hillsborough
Do springs for a carriage door in Hillsborough cost more?
Yes, above the $200 starting price, on the same price list rather than a different one. The extra is in the spring itself, wound for the weighed mass of the door. The hour of labor is the same hour.
What does a custom garage door cost here?
New doors start at $1,500, and matched custom work sits above that depending on material and size. The real number comes after we've measured the opening and shown you samples at the house.
Why weigh the door instead of using a chart?
Because charts assume catalog panels, and Hillsborough hangs very few of those. A spring picked off a chart for a timber door leaves it out of balance from day one, and the opener pays for the mistake until it fails. The scale costs nothing and makes the spring you pay for, from $200, actually last.
