What a WA winter front does to a door

Sustained westerly wind pushes on the face of the door for hours. A garage door is a large flat surface with no structural job other than to close a hole, and it flexes.

Roller curtains bow and pop a guide. Sectional panels bow and the top section jumps the track. Neither necessarily makes a noise you'd hear over the weather.

Before you touch anything

Photograph it from outside and inside, including a wide shot showing the whole opening. If debris hit it, photograph the debris where it landed.

Insurers routinely ask whether the door was already faulty. A photograph taken before anything moved is the answer to that question.

What can and can't be salvaged

A bowed door that has been left alone often goes back with new guides or track sections. A bowed door that has been cycled a dozen times usually doesn't.

That single decision — leaving it — is worth more than anything else on this page.

Indicative pricing

Where this job typically sits. Access is usually a bigger cost driver than size.

JobIndicative priceWhat moves it
Service call and diagnosis$90 – $180Attending and identifying the fault. Most operators credit it against the repair — ask, because not all do.
Roller door spring re-tension$150 – $320Restoring tension to a drum spring that no longer holds the curtain up. The most common single job in this region.
Roller door curtain replacement$700 – $1,900Replacing a dented or corroded curtain. Width and material drive the number.
Torsion spring replacement$250 – $600Sectional door springs, replaced in pairs where the door has two.
Cable replacement$150 – $350Usually done alongside springs, because they wear together.
Motor / opener repair$150 – $450Boards, capacitors and gear sets on an opener still supported by parts.
New opener supplied and fitted$450 – $1,200Depends on door weight and whether you want app control or a keypad.
Off-track correction$150 – $400Re-seating the door and replacing whatever let go. More if a panel or slat is bent.
Full service$120 – $250Tension, cables, rollers, tracks, opener limits and safety reverse.
Door replacement, existing openingfrom $1,400Roller doors sit at the lower end here; wide insulated sectionals at the upper.

Prices are indicative only. What a job costs depends on the door type, the width of the opening, the part, and whether it can be repaired or has to be replaced. You get a firm price before any work starts.

Storm Damage — common questions

A storm has damaged my door — what now?

If the door will not close and the garage is open, treat it as urgent. Do not force a curtain that has been pushed out of its guides; that is how a repairable door becomes a curtain replacement. Photograph the damage before anything is moved if you intend to claim.

Why do doors fail in storms rather than gradually?

Because wind loads a door in a way daily use does not. A curtain already binding slightly, or a spring already out of tension, copes with normal operation and then fails under pressure. The door that goes in the first front is nearly always the one that was already not quite right.

Does insurance cover it?

Often, for genuine storm damage to the door. Photographs taken before any repair are what decide it. Removing or straightening anything first makes a claim considerably harder.
