Garage Door Spring Repair & Replacement in Caledonia, MI

The clearest sign is a loud bang from the garage, often overnight, followed by a door that is suddenly far too heavy to lift by hand. Look at the torsion spring on the bar above the door: a broken one has a visible two to three inch gap. The opener may also hum and strain without moving the door, or move it a few inches then stop.

Yes, on a two-spring door. They are installed at the same time and wear at the same rate, so the surviving spring is typically within weeks or months of failing too. Replacing the pair costs far less than paying a second callout, and a mismatched pair puts the door out of balance.

Springs are rated in cycles, one cycle being one open and one close. A standard 10,000-cycle spring lasts roughly seven years on a door used four times a day. High-cycle springs rated at 20,000 or more cost modestly more and can double that lifespan, which is usually worth it on a door that is the main entrance to the house.

We publish the after-hours rate when you book so there is no ambush on the invoice. Many straightforward evening calls in Caledonia are charged at the standard rate. If a job can safely wait until morning at a lower price, we will tell you that instead of taking the premium.

New door and opener installation quotes are free, including a site measure. Repair diagnostics carry a standard callout that is quoted on the phone before we dispatch, and it is credited against the work if you go ahead.
