Garage door pricing isn't just about the door itself. When you ask for a cost estimate, you're paying for materials, labor, expertise, and the speed of service.

But here's what matters: the price reflects the work required to do it right the first time. See our guide on why wellington garage doors rust faster than you.
Spring replacement typically runs between $200 and $400 per spring in Wellington. Most residential doors have two springs, so budget accordingly.
