Garage Door Service FAQs
The average cost of garage door installation ranges from $1,500 - $5,500 depending on the type of door you need. A custom garage door will cost more.
The approximate cost to repair a garage door panel ranges from $250 to $500. This pricing represents the panel and installation fees.
It cost between $200 - $500 to install a garage door opener.
Repair will always be cheaper but it may not always be the best option. If the cost of repairs is more than half the cost of a new door, replacement is usually the better long-term investment.

Garage Door Maintenance Tips for Santa Cruz Homeowners
Want to prevent repairs? Here’s how to keep your garage door working its best year-round:
-
Lubricate moving parts: Use a silicone-based lubricant every 6 months.
-
Clean your tracks: Remove debris that could interfere with the rollers.
-
Test your balance: Disconnect the opener and manually lift the door. It should stay halfway up. If not, your springs might be off.
-
Check your seals: Cracked weatherstripping can let in moisture and pests.
-
Watch for rust: Especially near the ocean, inspect parts for corrosion regularly.
