Spring Repair
Expert torsion and extension spring replacement
Expert torsion and extension spring replacement
When a torsion spring snaps it releases its tension instantly, producing a sound like a gunshot or a heavy board dropping. After that bang the door typically will not open at all, or the opener strains and gives up.
A properly sprung door is nearly weightless to lift. If you pull the release cord and the door feels like dead weight, the spring is no longer counterbalancing it. Do not keep running the opener — you will burn it out.
Walk into the garage and look at the spring above the door. A two-inch gap in what should be a tight, continuous coil is a definitive sign the spring has broken.
On a two-spring system, one broken spring makes the door rise unevenly. On extension-spring doors, a failed spring lets the door drop fast and hard — a real hazard.

Torsion or extension, single or dual — we measure wire size, length, and inside diameter so the replacement matches your door's weight exactly.
Our technicians use proper winding bars and procedures to release and re-load spring tension — the step that injures untrained DIYers every year.
On dual-spring doors we replace both springs together. They wore at the same rate, so installing one new and one old just guarantees a second callout.
We offer standard 10,000-cycle springs and high-cycle 25,000+ options for busy households — your call, explained clearly.
We balance the door, lubricate the new springs and bearings, and cycle it several times to confirm smooth, safe operation.
Spring replacement is one of the more affordable garage door repairs. A torsion spring typically runs $150-$250 installed, and an extension spring $100-$150, with the exact figure depending on the spring size your door needs and whether you have a single or dual setup. High-cycle springs cost a little more upfront but last far longer in homes that open the door many times a day. We quote an honest written range before we begin — never a single made-up price. Call (281) 906-4783 for a same-day spring repair estimate.

When you call (281) 906-4783, you reach a real local company — not a national call center.
We give every customer an upfront written estimate, we use quality parts instead of the cheapest option on the shelf, and we back our work with a warranty on parts and labor. That combination — real expertise, honest pricing, and quality components — is why so much of our work in Houston comes from repeat customers and referrals.

A torsion spring typically runs $150-$250 installed and an extension spring $100-$150. The exact price depends on the spring size your door requires and whether it uses a single or dual-spring system. We provide a written estimate before any work begins.
We strongly advise against it. Garage door springs store enough energy to cause serious injury, and the winding process is unforgiving of mistakes. This is a job for a trained technician with the correct bars and procedure.
On a dual-spring door, replace both. The springs wore together, so when one breaks the other is close behind. Replacing both at once saves you a second service call.
Standard springs are rated around 10,000 cycles — roughly 7-12 years for an average household. High-cycle springs are rated 25,000+ cycles. Houston's temperature swings and humidity can shorten that lifespan, so annual inspection helps.
Almost certainly. A loud bang followed by a door that won't lift is the textbook symptom of a snapped torsion spring. Call (281) 906-4783 for same-day replacement.
