Broken Spring & Cable Repair
Springs and cables carry the entire weight of your garage door. When they fail — often with a loud bang — the door becomes unsafe to operate. We replace springs and cables the right way, with the right parts.

Repair or Replace?
A broken spring is a repair, not a reason to replace the entire door. Replacement is only in play if the door itself has other significant issues we discover during service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I replace both springs at once?
On a two-spring door, yes — matching age and wear keeps the door balanced and prevents another service call soon after.
Can I do it myself?
We strongly recommend against DIY spring work. Torsion springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury.
