Spring Replacement Process Hempstead

Simple Process, Professional Results

First, we assess what’s actually wrong. Not every garage door problem is a broken spring, and we’re not going to sell you repairs you don’t need. Our technician will test the door, check the springs, and explain exactly what needs to be fixed.

If it’s a spring replacement, we handle the dangerous part. Garage door springs are under extreme tension – enough to seriously injure someone who doesn’t know what they’re doing. We have the right tools and training to replace them safely, every time.

We’ll also check the balance of your door and make sure everything else is working properly. A properly balanced door puts less strain on your opener and helps everything last longer. Before we leave, we test the door multiple times to make sure it’s working smoothly and safely.

Garage Spring Services Hempstead NY

What You Get With Every Call

Every spring repair includes a complete safety inspection of your entire garage door system. We check the cables, rollers, tracks, and opener to catch potential problems before they leave you stranded again.

In Nassau County’s climate, garage door components face temperature swings, humidity, and salt air from the coast. We know which parts wear out first and how to prevent premature failures. That’s why we stock high-grade springs rated for 25,000 to 50,000 cycles – not the cheaper ones that break after just a few years.

First-time customers get 10% off their repair, and we warranty our work because we stand behind what we do. You’ll also get straightforward advice about maintenance that can help you avoid future problems. No complicated service plans or pushy sales pitches – just honest information from people who know garage doors.

How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?

The most obvious sign is when your garage door won’t open, or it feels extremely heavy when you try to lift it manually. You might also hear a loud bang when the spring snaps – it sounds like a gunshot and usually happens when the door is closed. Other signs include the door opening unevenly, your garage door opener struggling or making grinding noises, or visible gaps in the spring coils. If your door opens a few inches then stops, that’s often a broken spring too. Don’t try to force it open – you could damage the opener or hurt yourself.

Is it dangerous to replace garage door springs myself?

Absolutely. Garage door springs are under extreme tension – enough to cause severe injury or death if they snap during DIY repairs. Every year, thousands of people end up in emergency rooms from garage door accidents, many involving springs. The tools required aren’t something most homeowners have, and even small mistakes can be catastrophic. Professional technicians have specialized winding bars, safety equipment, and years of training to handle these repairs safely. The money you might save doing it yourself isn’t worth risking your life or a trip to the hospital.

How long do garage door springs typically last?

Most garage door springs last 7 to 9 years or about 10,000 open-and-close cycles. If you use your garage door twice a day, that’s roughly 7 years. Heavier doors, frequent use, or harsh weather conditions can shorten that lifespan. The quality of the spring makes a big difference too. Cheaper springs might only last 5,000 cycles, while high-grade springs can go 25,000 cycles or more. We use the better springs because they last longer and give you more reliable service. It’s worth paying a little more upfront to avoid having this problem again in a couple of years.

Should I replace both springs if only one is broken?

Yes, and here’s why: if your garage door has two springs and one breaks, the other one is probably close to breaking too. They were installed at the same time, under the same conditions, and have been through the same number of cycles. Replacing both springs at once prevents you from having the same problem again in a few weeks or months when the second spring fails. It also keeps your door properly balanced, which protects your garage door opener from premature wear. Most technicians will recommend this approach because it saves you money and hassle in the long run.

How much does garage door spring repair cost in Hempstead?

Spring replacement typically costs between $150 and $300 in the Nassau County area, depending on the type of springs, the size of your door, and whether both springs need replacement. Torsion springs generally cost more than extension springs, but they’re also more durable and safer. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work, and first-time customers get 10% off their repair. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges – what we quote is what you pay. Emergency or after-hours service doesn’t cost extra either, because we know garage door problems don’t happen on a convenient schedule.

What's the difference between torsion and extension springs?

Torsion springs are mounted above your garage door and twist to provide lifting power. Extension springs stretch along the sides of your door and extend when the door closes. Torsion springs are generally safer, more durable, and provide better balance for your door. Most newer garage doors use torsion springs because they last longer and are less likely to cause injury if they break. Extension springs are more common on older doors and lighter doors. Both types can be dangerous to work on, but torsion springs require specialized tools and techniques that only trained professionals should handle.
