Garage door springs cannot be "repaired" in the traditional sense once a spring breaks or loses its tension significantly, replacement is the only safe option. Signs you need spring replacement include a loud bang from your garage, a door that only opens a few inches before stopping, visible gaps in the spring coil, or a door that feels extremely heavy when lifted manually. Our technicians always inspect both springs and will give you a transparent recommendation on whether one or both need replacing.
