"Jack and Double D are your guys, full stop. This was the best contractor interaction I have ever had. Details below. After submitting a query here I received a call from Jack who was very laid back and offered to check out my garage that same day for no fee. We had an archaic opener system from the mid 70s and Jack laid one eye on it and instantly called out the model, year, and mechanics of it. I was surprised, until he told me he is a THIRD GENERATION garage mechanic. He made recommendations to get our garage up to safety standards (we had springs from the 70s that were beginning to stretch). He gave us a quote that day, and had a plan all ready to go. After he gave us a quote he noticed a hole on the side of our attached garage. He said we could get ants in there and we should fill it. Then he stopped himself and said he'd bring some caulk and fill it when he did the doors. The quote was a good $1,000 lower than any other one we'd gotten. He gave us an installation window later in the month and we were excited, albeit a bit bummed we had to wait. But the doors had to be ordered so we understood. 3 days later he called and said he checked with his guys and our doors came in early, and he only knew that because he called way ahead of when he was supposed to because he knew we were down a garage. The next day he and another crew member installed the garage in half a day, and we couldn't be happier. So when he drove away, I was walking back to the house and happened to glance over at the hole Jack mentioned when we first talked. It was filled. He did it and didn't make a big deal of it. I will recommend Jack for anyone who needs garage door work forever and ever. I really appreciate it."

Garage door spring repairs FAQs
Garage door springs last for an estimated number of cycles over a defined period. Extension springs last 8,000 to 15,000 cycles, or seven to 12 years, while torsion springs last 10,000 to 20,000 cycles, or eight to 15 years. Regular maintenance, balanced usage, and professional tuneups can extend their service life.
A skilled technician can replace two garage door springs on a standard door within 30 minutes to one hour. However, the repair time increases for conversion between spring types or when servicing a multi-door system. Every spring is installed with precision to preserve balance and safety, and a professional will test the door after a repair or replacement.
If one garage door spring breaks, you should replace both springs because balanced tension is essential for safe operation of the door. Replacing both springs ensures the door remains level and prevents additional stress on the remaining spring. Most doors are designed with paired springs, and using mismatched components compromises safety. A professional technician will advise replacing both springs to keep the door working properly and safely.
The three most common reasons that garage doors break include wear and tear, rust, and improper maintenance. Rusted spring parts can lead to the coils degrading faster than they should. In addition, not following a maintenance schedule or getting regular tuneups can lead to quicker wear and tear.
The best way to make your garage door springs last longer is by having them maintained by a garage door specialist. This will help catch issues early, and the specialist will also spray the springs with silicone-based lubricant to keep rust at bay. During the maintenance service, the tech will make sure the door is properly balanced to ensure the springs have the right amount of tension.
It is unsafe to manually open your garage door when a spring is broken. A damaged spring causes an unbalanced door that can move suddenly and dangerously. Do not attempt to operate the door yourself. A broken spring compromises the system’s balance and can lead to severe injury or further damage. Professional repair technicians are equipped to safely handle the door, replace the faulty spring, and secure the system to avoid hazards.
