Cable Replacement

Worn cables throw your door off-balance and make it unsafe. We re-tension and replace them right.

Licensed, Bonded & Insured 15+ Years of Experience 6-Month Parts & Labor Warranty 5-Star Rated 24/7 Emergency Service

Your cables do the heavy lifting alongside the springs, so when one frays or snaps, the door usually ends up crooked, jammed, or dropped on one side. We replace both cables with aircraft-grade steel, re-seat the drums, and rebalance the door, almost always in the same visit. Cable replacement in the DMV usually runs about $150 to $350.

Related repairs we often handle on the same visit: broken spring repair, off-track door repair, and opener repair.
