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.
San Jose
San Jose doors and what they need
Two homes in three in the 95124 ZIP around Camden and Union avenues were built in the 1950s and 1960s, so a San Jose price is mostly about moving parts that have done decades of cycles and, in the Willow Glen Eichler tracts, about the look of a door that faces the street. The spring and cable and roller pages have the parts detail.
Springs on a two-spring door
One torsion spring starts at $200 and both springs on a two-spring door at $350. On a door that has run since the 1960s, the second spring has done the same number of cycles as the one that broke, which is why the pair is often the better buy: one visit instead of two, and both sides start even.
Rollers, cables and an opener under load
A full nylon roller set starts at $250 and a pair of cables at $200. Fresh rollers make a tract door quieter and lighter to move, and that matters to the opener as well. Opener repair starts at $200 for the gear, the board, the limits or the sensors. A new belt drive installed starts at $600 when the old unit is past repair, and the springs are balanced before either, since an opener on an unbalanced door does not last.
A street-facing Eichler door
A new single steel door installed starts at $1,500 before style. For a Fairglen Eichler in Willow Glen, where the garage door is the street face of the house, the style matters as much as the mechanism, and the city's Eichler design standards apply to exterior changes on listed homes. Settle the style with the city first. A custom design prices above the starting figure, and you hear the number before anything is ordered.

Questions
Cost questions from San Jose
How much is a garage door spring in San Jose?
From $200 for one torsion spring on a standard door, and from $350 for the pair. On an older San Jose tract door with two springs, both have done the same years of work, so the pair is worth weighing when one breaks.
Do you charge more for the drive to San Jose?
No. Downtown is 27 to 36 minutes off peak from our Centerville office and Almaden Valley up to 53, and the job price is the same either way. Call any time and we tell you when we can be there.
What does a new garage door for an Eichler cost?
From $1,500 for a single steel door installed, before style. Flush, windowed or custom designs cost more. On a listed Eichler, settle the style with the city first, and we quote the door you choose.
Is opener repair worth it on an older San Jose house?
On a sound opener with one failed part, yes, from $200. On a unit that is loud, slow or has failed before, a belt drive installed from $600 is the better spend, and you hear both figures at the door.
