Garage Spring Replacement Process Jericho

Straightforward Process, Professional Results

First, we inspect your garage door system to identify exactly what’s wrong. Broken springs are usually obvious, but we also check for worn cables, damaged tracks, and opener issues that could affect your repair.

Next, we explain what needs to be fixed and give you an upfront price. No hidden fees or surprise charges after we start working. If you have two springs and one breaks, we’ll typically recommend replacing both since they wear at the same rate.

Then we get to work. We safely remove the broken spring, install the new one, and test the door to make sure everything operates smoothly. Most spring replacements take 1-2 hours from start to finish. We clean up when we’re done and walk you through what we fixed.

Spring Repair Services Jericho Long Island

Complete Spring Services for Every Door Type

We handle both torsion and extension spring systems. Torsion springs are the heavy-duty springs mounted above your door opening. Extension springs run along the door tracks on each side. Both types do the same job—counterbalance your door’s weight so it opens and closes easily.

For Jericho’s mix of older and newer homes, we stock springs for single and double-wide doors, different door weights, and various mounting configurations. Whether you have a 1960s ranch with original hardware or a recent construction with modern components, we have the right parts.

Our spring service includes safety cables for extension springs, new mounting hardware when needed, and door balance adjustments. We also lubricate the entire system and check for other wear points that could cause problems down the road. The goal is a repair that lasts, not a quick fix that fails in six months.

How much does garage spring repair cost in Jericho?

Most garage spring repairs in Jericho run between $200-400, depending on your door size and spring type. Torsion springs typically cost more than extension springs because they’re heavier-duty and require specialized tools to install safely. We give you an exact price before starting any work. The quote includes the springs, any necessary hardware, labor, and cleanup. No surprises or hidden fees after we’re done. If you need both springs replaced (which we usually recommend when one breaks), the total cost is still typically under $400 for most residential doors. That’s a small price compared to the inconvenience and safety risks of a broken door.

Can I replace garage door springs myself to save money?

We strongly advise against DIY spring replacement. Garage door springs store enormous amounts of energy—enough to seriously injure or kill someone if they release unexpectedly. Professional technicians use specialized tools and follow safety procedures that most homeowners don’t have access to. Beyond the safety issue, improper installation can damage your door, opener, or tracks. This often leads to more expensive repairs than if you’d hired a professional from the start. The money you might save on labor isn’t worth the risk to your safety or your property. Let experienced technicians handle this job while you focus on more important things.

How long do garage door springs last in Long Island weather?

Most garage door springs last 7-10 years with normal use, but Long Island’s humidity and salt air can shorten that lifespan. Springs near the ocean may show rust and corrosion sooner than those inland. The key factor is usage cycles, not just time. Springs are typically rated for 10,000 cycles (one cycle = opening and closing the door once). If you use your garage door 3-4 times daily, that’s about 7-8 years of life. Regular maintenance helps springs last longer. We recommend lubricating springs and hinges 3-4 times per year and having the door professionally serviced every couple of years. This catches problems early and extends the life of all components.

Should I replace both springs even if only one is broken?

Yes, we typically recommend replacing both springs when one breaks. Here’s why: both springs were installed at the same time and have been through the same number of cycles. If one fails, the other is likely close behind. Replacing just one spring creates an imbalanced door that puts extra stress on your opener and other components. The door may not open evenly or could bind in the tracks. From a cost standpoint, replacing both springs during one service call saves you money compared to having us return in a few weeks or months when the second spring fails. You pay one service charge instead of two.

What's the difference between torsion and extension springs?

Torsion springs mount horizontally above your garage door opening and twist to store energy. Extension springs mount vertically along the door tracks and stretch to store energy. Both do the same job but work differently. Torsion springs are generally safer, quieter, and last longer than extension springs. They’re also more expensive to replace. Most newer garage doors use torsion springs, while older doors often have extension springs. If you’re replacing extension springs, we can sometimes convert your door to a torsion spring system. This upgrade improves performance and safety, though it costs more upfront. We’ll explain your options and help you decide what makes sense for your situation and budget.

Do you offer emergency garage spring repair in Jericho?

Yes, we provide emergency garage spring repair throughout Jericho and Long Island. We understand that a broken spring can leave you trapped in or out of your garage at the worst possible time. For true emergencies, we offer same-day and next-day service. We carry common spring sizes on our trucks, so most repairs can be completed immediately without waiting for parts to arrive. Emergency service does carry a premium charge for after-hours, weekend, or holiday calls. However, for most spring repairs, we can schedule you within 24-48 hours during normal business hours at standard rates. Call us to discuss your specific situation and timing needs.
