We know this community. We understand that when your garage door fails on a Sunday morning before synagogue or right before you need to get the kids to school, you need someone who shows up and fixes it properly the first time.

Our current owners took over in 2011 and have maintained the same commitment to quality service that Maurice Heidelberg established decades ago.

Our Garage Spring Repair Process

Simple, Straightforward, Same-Day Service

First, we assess exactly what’s wrong. Broken springs are obvious—you’ll see the gap or hear the snap. But sometimes the issue is worn springs losing tension, frayed cables, or bent tracks. We diagnose the real problem before starting any work.

Next, we explain what needs fixing and why. If one spring broke, we’ll likely recommend replacing both. That’s not a sales pitch—when springs are installed together and one fails, the other is usually close behind. Replacing both now prevents another service call in a few weeks.

Then we get to work. Spring replacement typically takes under an hour for our experienced technicians. We carry common spring sizes on our trucks, so most repairs happen immediately. We test the door thoroughly before leaving to ensure everything operates smoothly and safely.

Complete Garage Spring Solutions Woodmere

More Than Just Spring Replacement

Our spring repair service includes complete system inspection and adjustment. We check cables, tracks, rollers, and safety features to catch potential problems before they leave you stranded again.

For Woodmere homeowners, we understand the unique challenges of Long Island’s coastal environment. Salt air and moisture can accelerate spring corrosion, especially on older extension spring systems. We recommend appropriate spring grades and maintenance schedules based on your specific location and usage patterns.

We also handle spring conversions—upgrading from older extension springs to safer, longer-lasting torsion springs. This investment typically pays for itself through reduced maintenance needs and improved safety. Extension springs can snap and fly across the garage when they fail, while torsion springs remain contained on their mounting bar.

How much does garage spring repair cost in Woodmere, NY?

Garage spring replacement in Woodmere typically costs between $200 and $400, depending on your door size and spring type. Torsion springs cost more upfront but last longer than extension springs. We offer a 10% discount for first-time customers, and we provide upfront pricing before starting any work. Emergency service is available evenings and weekends at no additional charge—your convenience shouldn’t cost extra when you’re already dealing with a broken garage door. Most spring replacements take less than an hour, and we carry common spring sizes on our trucks for same-day completion.

Should I replace both garage door springs if only one broke?

Yes, you should replace both springs when one fails. Springs are typically installed at the same time and experience the same wear patterns. When one breaks, the other has reached approximately the same point in its lifespan. Replacing just one spring creates an imbalanced system that strains your garage door opener and can cause the door to bind or operate unevenly. The remaining old spring will likely fail within weeks or months, requiring another service call. Industry best practice is replacing both springs simultaneously. This approach saves money long-term and prevents the inconvenience of another breakdown shortly after the first repair.

Why shouldn't I try to replace garage door springs myself?

Garage door springs store tremendous amounts of energy—enough to lift a 200+ pound door thousands of times. When this energy releases unexpectedly, it can cause serious injury or death. Torsion springs require specialized tools and knowledge to adjust safely. Extension springs can snap and fly across the garage with enough force to cause significant injury or property damage. Even experienced DIYers have been seriously hurt attempting spring replacement. Professional technicians have the proper tools, training, and experience to handle high-tension springs safely. Given that professional replacement typically costs $200-400 and takes under an hour, the risk-to-savings ratio makes DIY spring replacement a poor choice.

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

Garage door springs in Long Island typically last 7-10 years or about 10,000 open-close cycles under normal conditions. However, Long Island’s coastal environment can reduce spring lifespan due to salt air and moisture exposure. Extension springs generally last 5,000-10,000 cycles, while torsion springs can handle 10,000-20,000 cycles or more. Higher-cycle springs cost more initially but provide better long-term value through extended lifespan. Regular maintenance, including annual lubrication and balance adjustments, can extend spring life. We recommend annual inspections for coastal Long Island properties to catch corrosion or wear issues before they cause spring failure.

What are the signs that my garage door springs need replacement?

The most obvious sign is a visible break—you’ll see a gap in the spring or hear a loud snap when it fails. But springs often show warning signs before complete failure. Watch for doors that feel heavier when opening manually, garage door openers that strain or make grinding noises, or doors that don’t stay open when lifted halfway. Uneven door movement, where one side rises faster than the other, also indicates spring problems. Visual inspection can reveal stretched extension springs, rust or corrosion on spring coils, or gaps developing in torsion springs. If you notice any of these signs, call for professional inspection before the spring fails completely and leaves you with a stuck door.
