About Spring Repair

A broken garage door spring is the most common garage door repair. Springs are under extreme tension and typically last 7-10 years depending on usage. When a spring breaks, your door won't open or will only open partially. We carry all standard spring sizes on our trucks and can replace most springs the same day.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does spring replacement cost?

Pricing varies based on spring type and door size. Call us for a free quote — we provide exact pricing before starting any work.

Can I replace just one spring or do I need both?

We recommend replacing both springs even if only one broke. Springs are installed as a matched set and wear at similar rates. If one broke, the other is likely near the end of its life. Replacing both now prevents a second service call in a few weeks and is usually only a small additional cost.

How long do garage door springs last?

Standard springs last 7-10 years or about 10,000 cycles (one cycle = opening and closing once). If you use your garage door 3-4 times per day, springs typically last 7-9 years. We also offer high-cycle springs rated for 25,000+ cycles that last significantly longer.

Is it dangerous to replace springs myself?

Yes, very dangerous. Torsion springs are under 200+ pounds of tension and can cause serious injury or death if not handled properly. Extension springs can also cause injury when they snap. We strongly recommend professional replacement - it's not worth the risk.
