Broken Spring Repair
If your garage door won’t open, opens only slightly, or makes loud noises when operating, it’s likely that the spring is broken. Other signs include visible gaps in the spring or the door falling too quickly when closing.
A broken spring can be dangerous as it holds significant tension. Attempting to open the door manually or repair the spring yourself can lead to injury. It’s best to leave the repair to professionals.
It’s not recommended to use the garage door with a broken spring. Doing so can cause further damage to the door, opener, and other components, leading to more expensive repairs.
A professional technician can typically repair or replace a broken spring in about 1-2 hours, depending on the complexity of the job and the type of spring used in your garage door.

It’s not recommended. Garage door cables are under high tension and attempting DIY repairs can be dangerous. Professional technicians have the tools and expertise to safely replace the cables and ensure proper door balance and operation.
The cost of garage door cable repair in Sacramento varies depending on factors like the door’s size and type, as well as labor costs. Typically, repairs range between $150 and $250. A professional technician can give you a precise estimate based on your specific situation.

Insulation helps improve energy efficiency and noise reduction. If your garage is attached to your home or used for storage, an insulated door is recommended to maintain temperature and block outside noise.
Regular maintenance includes lubricating moving parts, checking the door balance, and inspecting springs and cables for wear. It’s also a good idea to have annual professional tune-ups to extend the door’s lifespan.
