Do this now: which line to call

Take these 3 steps in order, safety first.

1. Gas smell, sparks, smoke, or a tree or wire down: get everyone out and call 911 or the gas or electric utility from outside before anything else.
2. Water spreading from a pipe, a roof or a ceiling: shut the main water valve, move what you can, and photograph the damage before anything is moved or thrown out.
3. Then call the line for the job: the garage door line for garage door repair and the window line for window replacement. Each goes to an independent company that serves your area and takes that job. The plumber line is for leaks, clogs and water heaters.

Is it an emergency? What can wait

3 things are emergencies before they are repair jobs: a gas smell, sparks or smoke, and a downed power line; call 911 or the utility for those.

• Garage door: a broken spring or a door off its track can wait for a booked visit if the door is closed. Do not try to lift or force it.
• Windows: a broken pane can be covered for the night with plywood or heavy plastic; replacement is a planned job.

Garage door repair in Denver: what it costs

Garage door repair costs $155 to $379 for most homeowners, HomeAdvisor's 2026 national range, with an average of $265; no publisher lists a Denver-only price. A broken spring runs $180 to $350, a cable $100 to $400 and an opener repair $100 to $500, HomeAdvisor says. Springs hold hundreds of pounds of tension, and HomeAdvisor says to leave them to a pro. The CPSC says to test the auto-reverse every 30 days by laying a 2x4 flat in the door's path; if the door does not reverse, disconnect the opener until it is fixed.

Denver's Residential Garages permit page does not mention door or opener replacement; it says trade permits such as electrical may also be needed, so ask the company whether a new opener circuit needs one. For more, see garage door repair or garage door spring repair.

Window replacement in Denver: cost per window

Window replacement averages $517 per window and $7,183 per project, This Old House's 2026 survey of 1,000 homeowners found, and HomeGuide puts the national average at $900 per window installed. Denver's housing is old: 55.5% of the city's housing units were built before 1980, the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 counts show. EPA says anyone paid to disturb paint in a home built before 1978 must be lead-safe certified, and that about three-quarters of U.S. homes built before 1978 still contain some lead-based paint, so ask the installer for the certification. Denver's Quick Permit list does not name windows; ask whether your job needs a permit. The federal window credit ended for windows installed after 2025, the IRS says.
