Part of the house.

LOCAL RESEARCH / North Beach
Local context
Automatic residential garage door openers sold in the United States have been subject to federal entrapment protection rules for decades. The Consumer Product Safety Commission's notice on the final rules describes an external entrapment protection device, such as an electric eye that detects an object obstructing the door without touching it, or a door edge sensor, and applies additional entrapment protection requirements to openers manufactured on or after 1 January 1993. If an opener is being diagnosed or replaced, ask how the safety reversal and the sensors will be tested afterwards. This is background, not an assessment of your equipment.
Source ↗Planning your work
San Francisco's Department of Building Inspection publishes step-by-step instructions for over-the-counter permits covering common exterior residential projects, and lists garage door replacement among the projects that qualify for over-the-counter review. The same page notes that exterior facade work visible from the street involving a change of finishes is among the projects that need plans. Use it to discuss the proposed work and the review route with the department before scheduling. Confirm the address, the opening and the property's own requirements; this reference does not establish them.

Good questions.
Straight answers.
Should I repair or replace the garage door?
A failed component does not automatically mean a new door. The decision depends on the condition of the sections, availability of compatible parts and the overall system. Start with an inspection.
What should a new-door quote include?
Ask for the door model, dimensions, hardware, opener compatibility, removal, installation and any required approval or permit work. Compare the complete scope rather than the door alone.
Can I keep using a door with a broken spring?
Stop operating the door and keep people away from its path. Springs and cables carry stored energy and require a qualified technician. Do not disconnect or adjust the counterbalance hardware.
