"Called the answering service, Ross Weaver called back within a few minutes and was here within the hour. A roller had jumped the track and a cable had come off. He fixed it in an hour and was very personable, professional and efficient. He also oiled all the moving parts. It cost an extra $70 to come out on Sun., but it was worth my peace of mind not to go to bed with the garage door open enough for someone to crawl under."

"Pulley showed up 1 hr late for the estimate. Estimate was reasonable, he said he could do it quickly and we were in a rush so we agreed to have him do the carpet job. He gave us the list of materials needed and scheduled a date. He showed up late on the job day. When they finished the job (commercial) he paced back and forth threatening to put a lien on our facility if he didn’t receive a check or cash immediately. We wrote him a check and he went straight to the bank to cash it. A day later we had children play on the carpet and the seams started to come apart. The carpet was cut very badly and had tears in the seams. He had me get six 3 gallon tubs of glue, he used only one. The room that he laid the carpet in is a class playroom, it can’t be used. The children are tripping over the unglued carpet pieces. Sent Pulley pictures and he has no response. I have talked to the managers at Menards and they will not recommend him to customers in the future."

FAQs for garage door spring repair projects in Indianapolis, IN

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.
