Broken Garage Door Spring Repair — Same-Day Service in South Florida
If your door won't open, came down hard, or you heard a loud bang from the garage — a torsion spring snapped. Do NOT try to lift the door. We replace springs in 45–90 minutes, with Made-in-USA 10,000-cycle springs and a lifetime warranty.
What a Broken Garage Door Spring Looks Like
Garage door torsion springs lift 250–400 lbs of door every cycle. They are rated for ~10,000 cycles — about 7 years for the average household. When they fail, the door becomes deadweight: the opener strains, the cables jump the drums, and forcing it bends the track. The fastest, safest fix is a same-day professional replacement with a matched, properly-wound pair.
$189 spring repair is the same price at 2 PM or 2 AM. No nights, weekends, or holiday surcharges — ever.
We do not stock cheap Chinese imports. Our springs are commercial-grade, oil-quenched, and last 2–3x longer.
The $189 price is the real price for a standard 7-ft residential door. We tell you the final number before we touch the door.
If your spring breaks again, we replace it for free, parts and labor — for as long as you own the home.
Warning Signs You Need Spring Repair
If any of these match what your door is doing — stop using it and call us. Forcing a damaged door turns a small repair into a major bill.
Almost always a torsion spring snapping under 200+ lbs of tension. Stop using the door immediately.
The opener pulls, then reverses. Classic broken-spring symptom on a 1-spring system.
A balanced door should rise with two fingers. If you can barely lift it, the spring is broken or stretched.
Look up at the torsion shaft above the door. A clean break in the coil = full replacement needed.
When a spring snaps, the cables lose tension and can jump off the drums. Don't run the opener.
On 2-spring systems, one side breaks first and the door drops on that side. Forcing it bends the bottom section.

Spring Repair — Common Questions
How much does it cost to replace a broken garage door spring?+
A single torsion spring on a 1-car door runs $189–$289 installed. A matched pair on a 2-car door runs $329–$449. We never charge a service call fee when you book the repair, and the price you're quoted on the phone is the price you pay.
Can I just replace one spring if only one is broken?+
Technically yes, but we recommend against it. The unbroken spring has the same cycle count and will snap within 6–12 months — and you'll pay another service call. Replacing both springs at once costs $80–$120 more and adds 5+ years to your door.
Is it safe to use my garage door with a broken spring?+
No. The opener is rated to lift a balanced door (~20 lbs of effort). With a broken spring, it's pulling 250–400 lbs deadweight. You'll burn out the opener gear, snap the cables, and likely bend the bottom panel. Stop using the door and call us.
How long does a garage door spring replacement take?+
45 to 90 minutes for most residential doors. Single-spring jobs are typically 45 min, double-spring jobs 60–90 min, including balance test and a full safety inspection.
Why do garage door springs break?+
Three reasons: (1) end of cycle life — most stock springs are rated for ~10,000 cycles, about 7 years for a typical 4-cycle/day household; (2) rust from South Florida humidity and salt air; (3) wrong spring size at install (a common shortcut by low-bid installers).
Should I try to replace a garage door spring myself?+
No. Torsion springs hold 200+ lbs of tension and require winding bars rated for the spring size. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission tracks thousands of injuries from DIY spring replacement every year. Hiring a pro costs less than an ER visit.
