Garage Door Spring Repair for Schertz homes and businesses
The bang you heard was almost certainly a torsion spring letting go. That spring was carrying the entire weight of the door, which is why it now feels like lifting a fridge. We replace springs in Schertz the same day, with the common wire sizes on the truck.
Every spring job includes re-balancing the door so the opener stops carrying weight it was never designed to lift. Skipping that step is why some doors go through openers every few years. We also check the cables and drums while the door is down, since they take the shock when a spring lets go.

- A visible two inch gap in the coiled spring above the door

Garage Door Spring Repair questions from Schertz customers
How long does a spring replacement take in Schertz?
A standard torsion spring replacement takes about 60 to 90 minutes on site. If you have a dual spring system we replace both, because the second is the same age as the one that just broke and will usually follow within months.
Why do you replace both springs when only one broke?
Springs are rated in cycles and both of yours have done the same number. Replacing one leaves the door unbalanced and puts the old spring under more strain, so it tends to fail soon after. Doing both in one visit costs less than paying for two separate call outs.
Can I replace a garage door spring myself?
We'd strongly advise against it. A torsion spring holds enough stored energy to break bones, and winding bars slipping is a genuine hospital risk. It's one of the few garage door jobs where the tooling and the technique matter more than the part.
Do you install openers you didn't supply?
We can, though we'll check the unit first. If you've bought an opener yourself we'll fit it, wire the sensors, program the remotes and keypad and test the reversal safety. If the unit isn't right for the weight of your door we'll say so before we start rather than after.
How fast can you get to me in Schertz?
Most calls in Schertz get a same day slot, and if you call early we can usually give you a morning window. Emergency work, meaning a door stuck open or a car trapped inside, gets dispatched on the same call, 24 hours a day. You get a text when the technician is on the way, not a vague all-day window.
How much does garage door repair cost in Schertz?
The common jobs land in fairly predictable ranges: a spring replacement in Schertz typically runs $180 to $420 depending on the spring size and whether you have one spring or two, cable and roller work $130 to $360, and opener repairs $110 to $380. We quote a flat price before any work starts, so the number you agree to is the number you pay.
