How much does garage door spring repair cost?

Spring repair typically costs between $150-$350 depending on the type of spring (torsion vs extension) and your door size. We provide free estimates before any work begins.

My door still has its original springs. Replace one or both?

Both, on a door this age. Springs installed together have cycled together, so the second is near the end of its life even if it has not broken yet. Replacing one on decades-old hardware usually means a second call within the year.

How long does spring repair take?

Usually one to two hours, with the space adding to that more than the work. A tuck under or hillside garage means working close beside the car, and low clearance track puts the shaft nearer the header, so there is less room to wind the new spring. We carry the common sizes, so it stays one visit.

Should I repair or replace both springs?

Replace both. On a door that catches wind the two rarely wear evenly, because side pressure racks the door and loads one side harder through every cycle. Fitting one new spring against an old one puts the imbalance straight back, and we check the track and hinges for the racking that caused it.

Why did my garage door spring break?

Garage door springs have a limited lifespan, typically 7-12 years or 10,000 cycles. Springs can break due to age, rust, improper maintenance, or extreme temperature changes. Regular lubrication can extend spring life.

Can I open my garage door with a broken spring?

You should NOT attempt to operate your garage door with a broken spring. The door is extremely heavy without the spring's counterbalance and can fall suddenly, causing injury or damage. Call a professional for safe repair.

How quickly can you repair my broken spring?

We understand that a broken spring can leave your car trapped or your home unsecured. Call us and we will work to schedule your repair as quickly as possible based on availability.

Proudly Serving West Hills, CA

Two different kinds of work show up in West Hills: flat postwar ranch tracts on the valley floor, and hillside streets climbing toward the Simi Hills. Up near Valley Circle the wind comes through the gaps hard enough to rack panels and pull tracks out of plumb, while the 1950s and 60s homes on the flats mostly still have their original openings and tight headroom. West-facing garages take a full afternoon of sun, which is hard on sections and weatherseal.
