Diagnosis. We confirm spring type (torsion vs extension), measure wire size and length, and quote a flat price.
Replacement. Always in pairs (if one broke, the other is right behind it). Wound to spec, balanced, and tested.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I replace a garage door spring myself?

Please don't. A torsion spring carries hundreds of pounds of stored energy. Improper handling causes serious injuries and ER visits every year. We carry the right tools, the right parts, and full insurance — and we do this every day.

If one spring broke, do I have to replace both?

Yes — always in pairs. They're installed together, they wear together, and if one just snapped the other is right behind it. Replacing one is the false economy that brings us back in 60 days.

How long do garage door springs last?

Standard springs are rated for ~10,000 cycles (about 7–10 years on average use). High-cycle springs are rated 20,000–30,000 cycles. If you use your garage as a primary entry, ask us about high-cycle.

Do you offer same-day spring service?

Yes — most calls before noon are completed same day across Westchester. After noon, often next-day. Emergencies handled 24/7.

What does a broken spring sound like?

A loud BANG — homeowners often think a shelf fell or a car hit the house. If you hear that sound and the door won't open, it's almost always a spring.

Can my opener lift the door if the spring is broken?

It can try, and it will burn out. Don't use the opener. Pull the red emergency release if you need the door open, lift it manually with help, prop it open, and call us.
