A torsion spring failing is loud, sudden, and unmistakable. Our technicians match the correct wire gauge and wind direction to your door's actual weight, not a guess off a chart.
A mismatched spring either fails early or overloads the opener. We size it correctly every time.
When one torsion spring fails, the other is on the same cycle clock. We recommend replacing both and explain why.
This is the one repair where licensing and training genuinely protect you, not just the door.
The spring installed is chosen for durability, not just for passing the next inspection.
Specialized service lines covering the full range of Garage Door Spring Repair calls we take, backed by flat-rate pricing and a written warranty.
We calculate the correct torsion spring specification, then use proper winding bars and sequence to install it safely.
Extension springs are replaced in matched pairs with new safety cables, since a mismatched pair throws the door off balance.
Sudden spring failure gets same-day priority since a broken spring makes manual operation dangerous.
Older doors with extension springs can be converted to a torsion system for smoother, quieter, longer-lasting operation.
We estimate remaining cycle life based on door usage and spring age, so you can replace before a sudden failure strands you.
Describe the spring symptom, a loud bang, a sagging door, or a door that won't lift, and we'll schedule a technician.

Precise measurement comes first, then a confirmed flat price for the correct spring.
The door is verified balanced and safe to operate before the job is called complete.

“They measured everything before quoting instead of eyeballing it like the last company did.”
“Preemptive spring check caught one close to failure before it snapped. Glad I called before it stranded us.”
The exact number depends on your door's specs, but you'll see it in writing before any spring is touched.
Replacing just one often means a second failure within months. We'll lay out the cost difference honestly.
Yes. A torsion spring under tension can cause serious injury if released without proper tools and technique.
