Garage Door Spring Replacement in South Florida
That loud bang from the garage? That's a spring breaking — and it's the #1 garage door emergency we see. Springs do the heavy lifting (literally: your door weighs 150–400 lbs), and when one snaps, the door becomes dangerous dead weight.

Torsion vs. Extension Springs
Torsion springs (mounted above the door) are the modern standard — smoother, safer, longer-lasting. Extension springs (along the tracks) are common on older doors. We replace both, and we always recommend upgrading to high-cycle torsion springs rated for 25,000+ cycles.
Why You Should Never DIY Springs
Springs store enough energy to cause serious injury — this is the one garage door job that injures homeowners every year. Our techs use proper winding bars, clamps, and procedures. It's a 45-minute job for us and a hospital visit waiting to happen for anyone else.
What We Do on Every Spring Job
Replace both springs (they wear together — doing one guarantees a callback); inspect and lubricate cables, rollers, and bearings; rebalance and test the full door; check opener force settings so the new springs and opener work as a system.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know my spring is broken?
The classic signs: a loud bang, the door won't lift (or only lifts a few inches), a visible gap in the spring coil, or the opener straining and reversing.
How much does spring replacement cost?
Typically $189–$329 for a standard pair, depending on door size and spring cycle rating. Quoted upfront, no surprises.
How long do new springs last?
Standard springs last ~10,000 cycles (7–10 years of normal use). Our high-cycle upgrades last 25,000+ cycles — often the life of the door.
