Garage Door Spring Repair and Replacement for Rochester 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.
The most common call we get from Rochester is a homeowner who heard a bang from the garage overnight and now finds the door far too heavy to lift. That is a broken torsion spring, and it is the single most frequent garage door failure there is. It is also the one part you should not attempt yourself, because those springs hold enough stored energy to break bones.

Andre C.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.
Do you handle commercial garage doors in Rochester?
Yes. We service rolling steel, sectional, high-speed and fire-rated doors for warehouses, body shops, fleet yards and retail units around Rochester. We stock high-cycle springs and commercial operators, and we schedule around your hours where possible so the work happens before opening or after close.
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.
What brands of garage door opener do you work on?
All the common ones: LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Sommer, Overhead Door, Marantec and Wayne Dalton, plus commercial operators. If your unit predates 1993 it has no photo-eye safety sensors, and we will recommend replacement on safety grounds rather than repairing it.
Need it fixed today?
Tell us what the door is doing and we'll give you a price before anyone drives out. Same-day slots most days in Rochester, and someone answers the phone at 2am.
