Garage Door Spring Repair and Replacement for Ossineke homes and businesses
Torsion and extension springs carry the entire weight of the door, so when one snaps the door becomes dangerous to move by hand. Springs are wound under extreme tension and are not a do-it-yourself part. We replace them in matched pairs, size the new set to your door's actual weight and cycle life, and rebalance the door before we leave.
Garage doors in Ossineke take a beating from Michigan weather. Cold thickens the grease in roller bearings, road salt corrodes cables where they meet the drum, and freeze-thaw cycles bond the bottom seal to the slab so the opener strains every morning. Most of the calls we take between November and March come back to one of those three things.

Honest about the age of my opener. Said it'd last another year or two and to save for a new one rather than sinking money into a board.
Cathy R.Second opinion after another company said the whole system needed replacing. It needed two rollers and a cable. Two hundred bucks instead of two thousand.
Priya N.Spring repair & replacement questions, answered
How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
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.
Should both springs be replaced if only one broke?
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.
How long do garage door springs last?
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.
My garage door won't open. What should I check before calling?
Pull the red release cord and try lifting the door by hand. If it is extremely heavy or won't budge, you have a broken spring and should stop there. If it lifts easily, the fault is in the opener: check the photo-eye sensors near the floor for a blinking light, obstruction or misalignment, and confirm the opener still has power. Tell us what you found and we can often diagnose it on the phone.
Is a garage door spring something I can replace myself?
No, and this is the one job we ask people not to attempt. Torsion springs are wound under enough tension to break bones or worse if they release unexpectedly, and the winding bars are not interchangeable with screwdrivers or rebar. It is a genuinely dangerous repair and it is priced modestly for that reason.
Why is my garage door so loud?
Nine times out of ten it is the rollers. Builder-grade steel rollers run on exposed bearings that dry out, flat-spot and then grind in the track. Swapping to sealed nylon rollers is inexpensive and makes an immediate difference. Loose hinges, a dry torsion bar and an unbalanced door also contribute.
