Spring Repair & Replacement
A snapped spring is the #1 reason a door won’t open. We stock the parts and replace it safely, usually the same day.
Nine times out of ten, a garage door that suddenly won’t open has a broken spring. It’s also the repair you really don’t want to tackle yourself, since the springs are wound under enormous tension. We replace torsion and extension springs the same day on most calls, rebalance the door, and check the cables and drums while we’re up there. In the DMV, a spring replacement usually runs somewhere around $200 to $500, depending on the spring type and whether you’re doing one or both.

How Much Does Spring Repair Cost?
That’s a typical DMV range for a professional torsion-spring replacement. Single-spring and extension-spring jobs can run less, while high-cycle springs and heavy double doors run more. You’ll always get a free, exact quote before any work starts, so treat this as a ballpark, not a quote.
