Clifton has two kinds of garage door and they need different answers. In the historic district a door is part of the elevation, and a replacement has to be matched rather than ordered. In the newer Fairfax County builds around town it is a working two-car or three-car door that needs a spring, a cable or an opener. Quality Garage Doors does both, and we will tell you honestly which one you have.
Call (540) 212-1520 and a technician answers. Describe what the door is doing and you will usually have the price on the phone. We are also straight about the drive: Clifton is on the outer edge of our territory, so we schedule it rather than pretend it is around the corner, and we say so when you call instead of after.
Owner-operated, 20-plus years of hands-on garage door work in Virginia, 4.9 stars across 100-plus Google reviews, money-back guarantee on every job. Military, veterans and first responders get a discount on the work.
Posted ranges, all in, never “starting at” and never “call for pricing.” A torsion-spring pair runs $300 to $750. Opener repair runs $200 to $400. A new single-car door installed runs $1,200 to $2,000.
We answer the phone Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm, with after-hours emergency service available.
Broken torsion springs. The door will not lift, or it rises a foot and drops. A torsion-spring pair replaced runs $300 to $750, and we carry the standard residential sizes.
Snapped cables. The door hangs crooked or one side sits low. Both cables replaced runs $180 to $350, always as a pair.
Doors off the track. Track repair runs $150 to $350. A full roller set runs $150 to $300.
Openers that will not run. Boards, gears, sensors, remotes. Opener repair runs $200 to $400, opener replacement installed runs $500 to $900.
Panel damage. Per panel, $500 to $1,200, and higher when the panel is discontinued. This is worth reading twice if you own an older Clifton door: on a discontinued or custom panel the honest answer is sometimes that matching one panel costs more than the panel is worth, and we will tell you that rather than order it and hope.
One Clifton-specific caution. On an older door with non-standard hardware, we diagnose on arrival and then tell you plainly whether it is a same-day fix from the truck or a part that has to be sourced. We would rather give you a two-day answer that is true than a same-day answer that is not.
A torsion spring stores enough energy to break bones, and a door with a failed spring is unbalanced and dangerously heavy. Spring replacement is the most common serious do-it-yourself garage door injury. Leave the door where it sits, keep people and vehicles clear, and call (540) 212-1520.
If your house sits in or near the Clifton historic district, the door is doing architectural work, and a flat steel panel will read wrong on the elevation no matter how well it operates. We install carriage-house styles, wood and wood-look, insulated steel with overlay, and custom sizes for non-standard openings, from Amarr, Clopay and Doorlink.
| Installation | Range, installed |
|---|---|
| Single-car door | $1,200 to $2,000 |
| Double-car door | $2,000 to $3,500 |
| Insulated or custom | up to about $4,500 and above |
| Opener replaced, installed | $500 to $900 |
Custom and carriage-house doors sit at the upper end of those ranges, and lead time runs longer than the two to five days a stock door takes. The estimate is free and it is done in person, because a custom opening cannot be measured from a photo and a matched finish cannot be judged from one.
If you are on an HOA or historic-district review, we will give you the door model and finish detail in writing so you can submit it before we order anything.
Belt, chain, screw and jackshaft, from LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Genie. Repair runs $200 to $400, a new opener installed runs $500 to $900. The taller and deeper garage bays common in the newer builds around Clifton are usually better served by a jackshaft opener mounted on the wall beside the door, which also keeps the ceiling clear for storage.
Lubrication, balance check, sensor alignment, full safety inspection: $120 to $250. Once a year on any door over five years old, and worth more than that on a custom or heavier wood door, where a correctly balanced door is what keeps the hardware from wearing early.

Sometimes, but we will be straight with you: Clifton is on the outer edge of our service area, so we usually schedule it rather than promising a truck within the hour. We tell you the realistic window on the phone. We answer Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm, with after-hours emergency service available.
We strongly advise against it. A torsion spring stores enough energy to break bones, and a door with a broken spring is unbalanced and dangerously heavy. Spring replacement is the most common serious do-it-yourself garage door injury. Leave the door where it sits and call (540) 212-1520.
We install matched carriage-house and custom doors and will give you the model and finish detail in writing so you can submit it for HOA or historic-district review before anything is ordered. On a discontinued panel we will tell you honestly if matching a single panel costs more than it is worth.
