Styles & brands we work with






Garage Door Extension Spring in Burleson
Garage Door Extension Spring work in Burleson runs $180 – $340 and addresses the springs that stretch along both sides of your door, usually above the horizontal tracks on older one-piece or early sectional doors. These springs are common in the 1960s – 1980s ranch homes scattered through Oak Valley and Shannon Creek, where original doors are still in service long past their expected life.
When Extension Springs Fail
Extension springs fatigue over thousands of open-close cycles, and North Texas heat accelerates the metal’s wear. A snapped extension spring often leaves the door lopsided or sends it dropping on one side. In Burleson’s older homes, we regularly see these springs break after decades of heat cycling, especially on south-facing garage doors that bake in the summer sun.
What Replacement Involves
We replace extension springs in pairs, not singles. That matters because an old spring next to a new one will have different tension, which throws the door out of balance and wears out the new part faster. For Burleson homeowners with legacy Wayne Dalton or Genie doors, we also install safety cables that run through the spring’s center, catching it if it snaps again and preventing it from flying across the garage.
Garage Door Spring Installation in Burleson
Garage Door Spring Installation in Burleson costs $180 – $340 and covers the full process of removing your failed spring and mounting a new one, then balancing the door so it opens smoothly. If your door has a torsion spring, the horizontal coil above the door, our techs wind it with the correct number of turns for your door’s weight and height. If it’s an extension spring system, we size and stretch the replacements to match.
Torsion vs. Extension Springs
Torsion springs last longer, usually 15,000 to 30,000 cycles, and are mounted on a shaft above the door. Extension springs, the ones that stretch along the sides, are simpler but wear faster and are more common on older Burleson doors. When we can, we recommend upgrading from extension springs to torsion units, especially on doors that get opened three or four times a day.
High-Cycle Springs for Daily Use
For Burleson homes where the garage sees constant traffic, kids, multiple cars, or a workshop, we stock high-cycle torsion springs rated for 25,000 to 50,000 cycles. The upgrade costs more than a standard spring but outlasts it by years. You’ll see the exact price on your written quote before we start, and the number on your invoice matches what you agreed to.
Trusted Brands We Service in Burleson
We’re factory-trained on the brands Burleson homes actually have: Chamberlain and Genie openers, Clopay and Amarr doors, plus LiftMaster, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor. Because we stock common parts for these brands on our trucks, most spring repairs in Burleson don’t require a second trip. If your door is a legacy Wayne Dalton from the 1980s or a Clopay from a 2010s build near Alsbury Boulevard, our tech knows the mounting hardware, spring sizes, and quirks before they arrive.

AfterCommon Garage Door Spring Repair Problems We See in Burleson Homes
- Exhausted torsion springs on 1960s – 1980s ranch homes. Original springs in Burleson’s older neighborhoods have blown past their 10,000-cycle rating. They snap without warning, often when the door is fully open, which is the most dangerous failure point.
- Clay-soil track misalignment stressing extension springs. Burleson’s clay-heavy ground shifts between summer drought and spring rain, cracking garage slabs and knocking tracks out of square. Uneven tracks load one extension spring more than the other, leading to early failure.
- Paint-sealed panels hiding corroded hardware. In Oak Valley and Shannon Creek, we routinely use a putty knife to cut through decades of paint sealing the panel edges, just to reach the spring mounts and bearing plates underneath. That hidden corrosion is a Burleson-specific legacy issue you won’t find in newer subdivisions a mile away.
- Hail-dented doors with broken cables and springs. North Texas spring storms deliver hail that dents south-facing doors and snaps cables, which then over-stresses the springs. After a bad storm, we check the entire balance system, not just the visible damage.

FAQs About Garage Door Spring Repair in Burleson
Springs in older Burleson homes have simply lived longer. A standard torsion spring is rated for about 10,000 cycles, and a 1970s ranch door that’s opened twice a day has used that up three or four times over by now. Heat and clay-soil track shift add extra wear. Newer subdivision doors haven’t hit the cycle count yet. If your spring is past its service life, replacement runs $180 – $340 with a full year of coverage under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (682) 432-0305 for an exact quote.
You replace both. On a double door, the two springs work as a matched pair, and if one snapped, the other has the same fatigue history and is ready to fail. Replacing one spring creates uneven tension and shortens the life of the new part. We quote the pair price upfront, $180 – $340 total for the job, so you see the full number before we start. Call (682) 432-0305 and we’ll explain it for your specific door.
A broken spring usually makes a loud bang like a firecracker, and the door either won’t lift or lifts a few inches and stops, often sitting crooked. A bent track, on the other hand, lets the door move but it grinds, binds, or jerks at a certain point. You can check by pulling the emergency release and lifting the door manually. If it feels like a dead weight, the spring is likely gone. If it moves but catches partway, look at the track. If you’re unsure, call (682) 432-0305 and describe what you’re seeing. A tech can diagnose it on the phone and give you a rough idea before we even come out.
No. A garage door without a working spring can weigh 150 to 250 pounds, and lifting it manually risks the door slamming down on you or someone else. High-tension springs and cables are genuinely dangerous components. Leave the door where it is, and if your car is trapped inside, tell us when you call. We prioritize calls from Burleson homeowners who need a door opened to get to work. Call (682) 432-0305 and we’ll get you moving.
Sometimes it’s the smarter move. If your one-piece door is original to a 1960s or 1970s Burleson home and the panels are paint-sealed, rusted, or sagging, putting a new spring on a dying door buys you time but not much. A sectional door and new spring system runs $700 – $2200 for the door plus spring installation at $180 – $340, and you’ll get better insulation, quieter operation, and modern safety features. If the door is still sound, repairing the spring is the right call. We’ll give you an honest read and a written price for both paths. Call (682) 432-0305 to set up a free measure.
