Nevada's climate, with its very hot summers and colder winters, puts considerable stress on garage door springs. The significant temperature swings cause the metal components to expand and contract repeatedly, which can lead to metal fatigue and eventual breakage. Dry, dusty conditions can also increase friction and wear on the spring mechanism. When a spring breaks, it makes the garage door heavy and difficult to lift, and can cause damage to the opener if it's used. Our spring replacement service begins with a technician assessing your specific door to identify the correct type and size of spring. We then safely remove the old spring and install the new one, ensuring proper tension for balanced and smooth operation.
