$150–$350 for most spring replacements · Fixed same-day

A broken garage door spring is the most common failure we see — and the most dangerous to ignore. We carry torsion and extension springs in a full range of sizes and tension ratings for same-day replacement.

We don't just swap the spring — we balance the door and test it to spec, and recommend replacing both springs on a dual-spring system since the second is usually close behind.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do garage door springs last?

Standard springs are rated for 10,000 cycles (about 7–10 years of average use). High-cycle springs rated at 30,000 cycles are available and cost modestly more — a worthwhile upgrade.

Can I replace a garage door spring myself?

We strongly advise against it. Torsion springs store massive amounts of energy and can cause serious injury if mishandled. Leave spring replacement to insured technicians.

Why did my spring break?

Springs break due to metal fatigue from repeated cycling. Factors that accelerate wear include lack of lubrication, temperature extremes, and using low-quality springs. High-cycle springs help address this.

Should I replace one spring or both?

If you have a dual-spring torsion system, we recommend replacing both springs at the same time. If one broke, the other is at similar risk. Replacing both now is cheaper than a second service call soon.
