How quickly can you fix my broken springs?

We offer same-day spring replacement for most calls received before 2 PM. Our trucks are fully stocked with the most common spring sizes, allowing our technicians to complete most repairs in a single visit. For emergency situations, we provide immediate dispatch with typical arrival times of 45-90 minutes. Spring replacement typically takes 1-2 hours depending on the type (torsion vs. extension) and condition of other components.

What causes broken springs in garage doors?

Garage door springs break due to several factors: 1) Normal wear and tear - springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles (one cycle = one open and close), which translates to about 7-10 years for average use. 2) Rust and corrosion - moisture causes springs to weaken over time. 3) Temperature fluctuations - Connecticut's cold winters cause metal to contract and become brittle. 4) Lack of maintenance - springs need periodic lubrication to reduce friction and wear. 5) Improper balance - an unbalanced door puts extra stress on springs. Regular maintenance can extend spring life significantly.

What's included in your 2-year warranty?

How long does a new garage door installation take?

A standard single or double garage door installation typically takes 4-6 hours. This includes removal of the old door, installation of new tracks and hardware, door panel assembly, spring installation and balancing, opener installation, and safety testing. Complex installations (custom sizes, additional features) may take longer. We always complete installations in one day.
