Complete Spring Services North Hempstead

More Than Just Spring Replacement

Every spring repair includes a comprehensive system check. We inspect your garage door’s balance, test the opener’s operation, and examine cables, rollers, and tracks for wear that could cause future problems.

North Hempstead homeowners deal with unique challenges—salt air from the Sound accelerates rust, and temperature fluctuations between summer heat and winter cold stress metal components. We account for these local conditions when selecting replacement springs and adjusting your system.

You receive a 10% discount as a first-time customer, transparent pricing with no hidden costs, and the peace of mind that comes from working with a company that’s been serving Nassau County families since 1945. We handle both torsion springs (common on newer sectional doors) and extension springs (typically found on older doors), using high-cycle springs designed for longevity in coastal climates.

How do I know if my garage door springs are broken?

The most obvious sign is a garage door that won’t open at all, even with the opener running. You might hear the motor straining but the door stays put. Other warning signs include a door that opens only partway, falls quickly when closing, or feels extremely heavy when you try to lift it manually. Sometimes you’ll hear a loud bang when a spring snaps—that’s the sound of the spring breaking under tension. If you see a gap in the spring coil above your door, that’s a broken torsion spring. Never try to operate a garage door with broken springs—it’s dangerous and can cause additional damage to your opener and door panels.

What's the difference between torsion and extension springs?

Torsion springs mount horizontally above your garage door opening and twist to provide lifting force. They’re more common on newer sectional doors and generally last longer—typically 15,000 to 20,000 cycles compared to 10,000 cycles for extension springs. Extension springs stretch along the horizontal tracks on either side of your door. They’re more common on older doors and single-piece tilt-up doors. Both types do the same job—counterbalance your door’s weight so the opener doesn’t have to work as hard. Torsion springs are safer and more reliable, but extension springs are less expensive to replace. The type you need depends on your door’s design and age.

How much does garage spring repair cost in North Hempstead?

Most garage door spring repairs in North Hempstead cost between $150 and $350, depending on the type and number of springs needed. Torsion spring replacement typically runs $200-$300, while extension springs are usually $150-$250 for a pair. The final cost depends on your door’s size, spring type, and whether additional components need attention. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work—no surprises when the job is done. First-time customers receive a 10% discount. Most spring repairs take 1-2 hours to complete, and we include a system inspection to catch any other potential issues while we’re there.

Can I replace garage door springs myself?

No—garage door spring replacement is extremely dangerous and should only be done by trained professionals. Springs are under tremendous tension (often 200+ pounds of force) and can cause serious injury or death if handled improperly. Professional technicians have specialized tools and training to safely release spring tension and install replacements correctly. DIY attempts often result in injury, additional damage to the door system, or improperly balanced doors that wear out quickly. The money you might save on labor isn’t worth the safety risk. Insurance companies may not cover damage or injuries from DIY garage door repairs either.

How long do garage door springs typically last?

Standard garage door springs are rated for about 10,000 open-and-close cycles, which translates to 7-9 years for most homeowners. If you use your garage door multiple times daily, springs may wear out sooner. North Hempstead’s coastal environment can affect spring life—salt air accelerates rust, and temperature fluctuations stress the metal. High-cycle springs (rated for 15,000-25,000 cycles) last longer but cost more upfront. Regular maintenance, including annual lubrication, helps extend spring life. When one spring breaks on a two-spring system, it’s usually smart to replace both since the remaining spring has similar wear and will likely fail soon.

Do you offer emergency garage door spring repair?

Yes, we provide emergency garage door spring repair throughout North Hempstead and Nassau County. A broken spring can leave you trapped in your garage or unable to secure your home, so we understand these situations can’t always wait for regular business hours. Emergency service is available for urgent situations like completely non-functional doors, safety hazards, or security concerns. While emergency calls may carry additional charges, we’re upfront about pricing and focus on getting your door working safely as quickly as possible. For less urgent spring issues, scheduling during regular hours is more cost-effective, but we’re here when you need us most.
