Broken Garage Door Spring Replacement

​​Similar to a garage door opener breaking down, a broken spring is a very common issue that home owners face and is one that we are asked to deal with often.

Despite being a simplistic mechanism, the spring could be called the cornerstone of your overhead garage door – it's what lifts it up and sets it down in a timely fashion despite its tremendous weight. However, as mighty as they are, springs can malfunction for various reasons.

Once the spring is out, it's out – the only choice you have is to call a dependable garage door service like CR Garage Door Repair to fix your issue in no time.
