Garage Door Spring Repair

Garage door springs are under immense tension and can be extremely dangerous to handle without proper tools and training. If you hear a loud bang from your garage or your door feels impossibly heavy, it's almost certainly a broken spring. Never attempt to replace a garage door spring yourself — call the professionals at Garage Goat.

Types of Springs We Replace

• Torsion Springs — Mounted above the door opening, the most common type in modern Cypress-area homes
• Extension Springs — Mounted alongside the horizontal tracks, found in older installations
• High-Cycle Springs — Commercial-grade springs rated for 50,000+ cycles (per manufacturer cycle-life rating) for heavy-use doors
• Double Spring Systems — We always recommend replacing both springs to prevent a second failure

Signs Your Springs Need Replacement

Don't wait for a complete failure. Watch for these warning signs: your door feels heavier than usual, it opens unevenly (one side higher than the other), you notice visible gaps in the spring coils, or the door slams shut instead of closing gently. Catching these early can prevent damage to your opener and tracks.

The Garage Goat Difference: High-Cycle Springs

We use high-cycle springs rated for 25,000+ cycles (per manufacturer cycle-life rating) — that's 2-3x longer than the builder-grade springs most companies install. While they cost a bit more upfront, they save you money over time because they last 10-15 years instead of 5-7. Every spring we install comes with a lifetime warranty.

Our technicians complete most spring replacements in under 90 minutes, including a full system safety check and balance test. We calibrate the tension to your specific door weight so it operates smoothly and puts minimal strain on your opener.
