What are the signs that my garage door springs need replacement?

Garage door springs are critical components that bear the weight of your door, and recognizing the signs of wear can help prevent sudden failure. Key indicators that your springs need replacement include: the door feels heavier than usual when lifting manually, the door doesn't stay open or closes too quickly, you notice visible gaps or stretching in the spring coils, the door appears crooked or uneven when moving, you hear loud squeaking or grinding noises during operation, or you've had the same springs for over 10,000 cycles (typically 7-10 years of regular use). If you notice any of these signs, we recommend calling our team immediately. Attempting to repair or replace springs yourself is extremely dangerous due to the high tension they hold. Our certified technicians have the proper training and equipment to safely handle spring replacements.

Yes, we stand behind all of our work with comprehensive warranties. Our repair services include a 90-day labor warranty, and parts are covered by manufacturer warranties that typically range from 1-5 years depending on the component. For new garage door installations, we offer extended warranties that cover both labor and parts.

How often should I have my garage door professionally maintained?

We recommend having your garage door professionally inspected and maintained at least once a year. Regular maintenance helps identify potential problems before they become costly repairs, extends the life of your door and opener, ensures safe operation for your family, and maintains warranty coverage on many components. Our annual maintenance service includes a complete safety inspection, lubrication of all moving parts, tension and balance adjustment, track alignment, opener testing, and hardware tightening. Between professional visits, you can help keep your door running smoothly by visually inspecting it monthly and listening for unusual sounds.
