Garage Door Spring Repair

Broken spring? Don't touch the door — call us — across Pinecrest, Palmetto Bay, Coral Gables, South Miami, Kendall, Cutler Bay, Coconut Grove.

That gunshot sound from the garage was almost certainly a torsion spring letting go — the one component doing the actual lifting every time your door opens. With a broken spring the opener is suddenly dragging the door's full weight, which is how a snapped spring turns into a burned-out opener motor if the door keeps getting used. Stop, leave the door down, and call us: spring work is genuinely dangerous DIY, because the spring stores enough wound-up energy to cause serious injury.

Here's the detail many companies get wrong in Miami-Dade: hurricane-rated and impact doors are substantially heavier than standard sections, so the springs must be calculated for the actual door weight — not pulled from a generic chart. We weigh and measure, then fit high-cycle, corrosion-resistant springs matched to your exact door.

Signs You Need Garage Door Spring Repair

  • A loud bang from the garage, then a door that won't lift
  • A visible gap of an inch or two in the coil above the door
  • The door opens a few inches and sags back down
  • The opener groans, strains, or its light flashes an error
  • The door feels impossibly heavy when lifted manually
  • Stretched, rusty coils or a door that's been 'slamming' lately

🌊 The Coastal Factor

Spring steel hates South Florida. Humid air settles into the coils every night, bay salt accelerates the pitting, and every corrosion pit becomes the crack where the spring eventually fails — which is why Miami-Dade springs rarely reach the cycle life printed on the box. We fit oil-tempered, coated springs sized with headroom for heavy impact-rated doors, so the replacement isn't just new, it's built for this climate.

How We Handle It

Step 1

Weigh & measure

We measure wire size, length, inside diameter and true door weight — including hurricane reinforcement — so the new springs match the physics, not a guess.

Step 2

Exact quote before work

One clear on-site price for the correct spring set, approved by you before anything is unwound.

Step 3

Safe replacement

Old springs are unwound with proper winding bars, new high-cycle coastal springs are installed and set to the correct turn count.

Step 4

Balance verification

A properly sprung door floats at half-open. We prove it, then cycle-test with the opener reconnected.

Garage Door Spring Repair — FAQs

Should I replace both springs if only one broke?
On a two-spring door, yes. Both springs have the same cycles on them — the survivor is living on borrowed time, and replacing it during the same visit avoids paying for a second service call within months.
Can I open the door with a broken spring?
Please don't. The full door weight is unsupported, which can strip the opener, bend the top section, or drop the door unexpectedly. Leave it closed until a technician arrives.
How long do springs last in Miami?
Springs are rated in open/close cycles, and our humidity-plus-salt climate shortens real-world life. A busy family door here typically needs springs years sooner than the same door inland — high-cycle coated springs close most of that gap.
