Garage Door Spring Repair & Replacement
A snapped spring is the number-one reason a garage door won't open. We replace it safely, same day, with springs built to outlast the originals.
The springs do the heavy lifting — literally. They counterbalance a door that can weigh 150 to 300 pounds, so when one breaks, your opener can't lift the door and you're stuck. Most people hear a loud bang like a gunshot when a spring goes.
Torsion springs (mounted above the door) and extension springs (along the tracks) are both under extreme tension. Replacing them is genuinely dangerous without the right tools and training — it's the repair most likely to send a DIYer to the ER. Leave it to a technician.

Questions about spring repair
Most spring jobs are completed in about an hour on site.
If your door has two springs and one broke, we usually recommend replacing both — they wear at the same rate, so the second is likely close behind. It saves you a second service call.
Springs rated for more open/close cycles than standard. They cost a little more and last significantly longer — worth it on a door you use every day.
No. Torsion springs store enormous energy and cause serious injuries every year. Always have a trained, insured technician do it.
