Torsion spring replacement
The torsion spring above the door does the real lifting. When it snaps - often with a loud bang - the door becomes dead weight. We fit the correct spring for your door's weight and size, never a close-enough substitute.

What our broken spring repair covers
Extension spring replacement
Older doors use extension springs along the side tracks. We replace them in matched pairs with safety cables fitted, so a future break cannot send a spring flying across the garage.
Balance and conversion checks
A door with the wrong springs strains the opener and wears every moving part. We weigh and balance the door after fitting, and can advise on a torsion conversion for older extension-spring doors.
How broken spring repair works with us
- Do not try to lift the door or run the opener - with a broken spring the door is far heavier than it looks.
- We identify the spring type, measure the wire, coils and length, and check the cables and drums at the same time.
- You get the price for the matched spring set in writing before we start.
- Springs are fitted, the door is balanced by hand, and the opener force and safety reverse are tested.
What broken spring repair costs in Massachusetts
Spring pricing depends on the spring size your door needs and whether it runs one spring or a pair - heavier insulated and wooden doors need stronger springs. We always quote the matched set fitted and balanced, in writing, before work begins, so there is no surprise on the day.

What changes the price of a garage door job?
The door's size and weight, the failed part, and the materials you choose. Every one of those is visible in our written quote, so there are no surprises mid job.
Do you work in winter?
Yes. Garage door work runs all year in Massachusetts, and winter is honestly when doors need us most - cold makes old springs brittle and thickens old lubricant until doors strain and stick.
Will you work with my insurance company?
For accident and storm damage we document the door with dated photos and a written scope that adjusters can work from, and we are glad to meet the adjuster at the property.
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
Please do not. Torsion springs hold enough wound tension to cause serious injury, and the job needs winding bars and the correct spring for the door's weight. It is one of the few home repairs that genuinely belongs to a professional.
