Nearly 80 Years Serving Westbury Families

We’ve seen every type of spring failure you can imagine. Torsion springs that snap in the middle of winter. Extension springs that give out right when you’re rushing to work. Springs that look fine but lost their tension months ago.

Spring Repair Process Westbury NY

Here's Exactly What Happens When We Arrive

First, we disconnect your garage door opener and secure the door. Safety isn’t optional when you’re dealing with springs under hundreds of pounds of tension.

Next, we remove the broken spring and measure everything. Door weight, spring size, wire gauge, length. Most doors have two springs, and when one breaks, the other is usually close behind. We’ll recommend replacing both so you don’t have this same problem in six months.

Then we install your new springs, test the balance, and reconnect your opener. We adjust everything until your door opens as smoothly as the day it was installed. Before we leave, we’ll show you what to watch for and when to call us back.

What's Included in Every Spring Repair

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

In Westbury, we see a lot of spring failures from salt air and temperature swings. Your springs work harder here than they would in Arizona. That’s why we stock high-cycle springs that handle our climate better than the standard ones most companies use.

You get new springs rated for 25,000 cycles instead of the typical 10,000. That means fewer service calls and more years before you need to think about this again. We also include a full year warranty on parts and labor because we stand behind our work.

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

The most obvious sign is when your garage door won’t open or feels extremely heavy when you try to lift it manually. You might hear a loud bang when the spring snaps, or notice that one side of the door hangs lower than the other. Other warning signs include your garage door opener running but the door barely moving, the door closing too fast, or visible gaps in the spring coils. If your door was working fine yesterday and suddenly won’t budge today, it’s almost always a spring problem. Don’t try to force it open or keep hitting the opener button. You’ll damage the opener motor and make the repair more expensive.

Should I replace both springs even if only one broke?

Yes, and here’s why: garage door springs are installed in pairs and they wear at the same rate. When one breaks, the other has the same amount of wear and will likely fail within weeks or months. Replacing just one spring also creates an imbalance that puts extra stress on your opener and can damage other components. The door won’t open smoothly, and you’ll end up calling for service again soon. Most importantly, you save money by replacing both springs in one visit. You avoid a second service call fee and get matched springs that will last the same amount of time.

How long do garage door springs typically last?

Standard springs last about 10,000 cycles, which equals roughly 7-10 years for most families. Each time your door opens and closes counts as one cycle. However, spring life depends on several factors: how often you use your garage, the quality of the springs, and local weather conditions. In Westbury, salt air and temperature fluctuations can reduce spring life. We install high-cycle springs rated for 25,000 cycles, which typically last 15-20 years. They cost slightly more upfront but save money over time because you replace them less often.

Is it dangerous to try fixing garage door springs myself?

Extremely dangerous. Garage door springs store hundreds of pounds of tension, and when they snap or slip, they can cause serious injury or death. Professional technicians use special tools and safety procedures that most homeowners don’t have. Even if you’re handy with other home repairs, garage door springs require specific knowledge about wire sizes, spring calculations, and proper installation techniques. One mistake can result in the spring flying across your garage or the door falling unexpectedly. The money you might save on DIY isn’t worth the risk to your safety or your family’s. This is one repair that should always be left to professionals.

How much does garage spring repair cost in Westbury?

Garage spring repair typically costs between $200-$400 for most residential doors in Westbury, depending on the type and size of springs needed. Torsion springs (the most common type) usually run $250-$350 for a pair including installation. The final cost depends on your door size, spring type, and whether other components need attention. We always provide upfront pricing before starting work, so you know exactly what you’ll pay. First-time customers receive a 10% discount, and we never charge extra for evenings or weekends. Emergency service is available when you need your garage door working immediately.

Can you repair garage springs the same day I call?

Yes, we provide same-day garage spring repair throughout Westbury and Nassau County. We stock the most common spring sizes on our trucks, so most repairs are completed during the first visit. For unusual door sizes or commercial applications, we might need to order specific springs, but we’ll let you know immediately if that’s the case. In most situations, you’ll have your garage door working again within a few hours of calling. We understand that a broken garage door disrupts your entire routine. That’s why we prioritize spring repairs and work around your schedule to get you back to normal as quickly as possible.
