Garage Door FAQ — Licensed
Answers to common garage door questions for Licensed homeowners.
How quickly can you fix my broken springs?
We offer same-day service for broken springs in most cases. Our fully stocked service vehicles carry the most common spring sizes, so we can typically complete the repair in a single visit. For emergency situations, we guarantee a 2-hour response time within our service area. Broken springs are one of the most common garage door issues, and our technicians have extensive experience handling all types of torsion and extension spring repairs safely and efficiently.
What causes broken springs in garage doors?
Garage door springs break primarily due to wear and fatigue. Most residential springs are rated for approximately 10,000 cycles (one cycle = opening and closing the door once). For a typical household, this translates to about 7-9 years of use. Other factors that can accelerate spring failure include: temperature fluctuations (especially common in the Pacific Northwest), rust and corrosion from humidity, improper spring sizing during installation, lack of regular maintenance and lubrication, and excessive door weight. Regular maintenance can extend spring life by identifying wear before complete failure occurs.
Do you offer financing for new modern door installations?

How long does a garage door installation take?
A standard single garage door installation typically takes 3-4 hours, while a double door installation usually takes 4-6 hours. This includes removing the old door, installing the new door, testing the opener, and making all necessary adjustments. For installations that include a new opener or significant structural work, the timeline may extend to a full day. Our technicians work efficiently while never compromising on quality or safety.
