If your garage door drops fast, feels impossibly heavy, or simply will not budge, a broken spring is almost always the culprit — and it is the one repair you should never attempt yourself.
Garage door springs are wound under enormous tension and carry nearly the entire weight of the door. In Wellesley's climate, cold snaps accelerate the metal fatigue that causes springs to fail, which is why we get a wave of spring calls during the first hard freeze every winter. Our technicians arrive with the correct torsion and extension springs already on the van and finish most replacements in under an hour.
How We Replace a Broken Spring
Signs Your Spring Has Failed
What to Expect
Pricing depends on spring type, size, and whether you have a single- or dual-spring setup. High-cycle springs cost a bit more upfront but last far longer — a smart upgrade for busy households that run the door many times a day. We quote the full price before any work starts.

Spring replacement is precise, high-tension work, and it is where experience matters most. Our Wellesley-based technicians have replaced thousands of torsion and extension springs across MetroWest, always using safety cables on extension systems and correctly rated springs on torsion systems. We never leave a door out of balance or an opener fighting a weak spring — and every replacement is backed by our parts and labor warranty.
