What broken spring repair actually costs in Broward County
Price depends on a few real factors, not one flat number. The biggest driver is the type of spring on your door and how many need to be replaced. Door size, weight, and the exact spring specification also move the number.
Here is a typical market breakdown for South Florida homes to set your expectations before you call:
| Repair Scenario | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Single torsion spring replaced | $200 - $350 |
| Pair of torsion springs replaced | $300 - $500 |
| Extension springs (pair) | $150 - $300 |
These are general market estimates, not a fixed price list. The only way to get an exact figure for your door is a quick on-site look, which is why we give a free quote before any work starts.

Why torsion and extension springs cost different amounts
Broward County homes use two main systems, and knowing which you have explains the price gap.
- Torsion springs mount on a metal shaft above the door. They are heavier-duty, handle bigger doors, and last longer - so the part and labor cost a bit more.
- Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side. They are common on older or lighter doors and usually cost less to replace.
If you are not sure which you have, our technician will identify it during the visit and confirm the price with you first.
Should you replace one spring or both?
If your door uses two springs of the same age and one snaps, the second is usually close behind. Many homeowners choose to replace both in the same visit to avoid a second service call and a second trip charge within weeks.
Replacing in pairs is not always required - it is a value call based on the age and condition of the springs. We will lay out both options and let you decide.
What makes the price go up or down
A few things can shift your quote inside those ranges:
- Door size and weight - larger, heavier doors need higher-cycle springs.
- Single vs. double door - a two-car door often carries a heavier spring setup.
- Spring cycle rating - higher-cycle springs cost more up front but last far longer.
- Related worn parts - if rollers, cables, or bearings are worn, addressing them now prevents a repeat breakdown.
Please do not DIY a broken spring
Garage door springs are wound under extreme tension. A slip with a winding bar can cause serious injury, and the wrong spring size can damage your opener or door. This is one repair worth leaving to a trained technician.
