Torsion spring replacement in the KC metro typically runs $180–$260 for one spring or $260–$360 for two springs (recommended). Extension spring replacement runs $150–$240 for a pair. We provide a written quote before starting any work — no surprises at the end of the job.
Yes — same-day service is available on most repair calls across the Kansas City metro. Call before noon and we can typically schedule an afternoon appointment. We carry common springs, cables, rollers, and opener parts on the truck to handle most repairs in a single visit.
We recommend replacing both torsion springs at the same time whenever one breaks. Both springs have the same cycle count, so if one has failed from wear, the other is typically close behind. Replacing both at once saves a second service call and prevents the second spring from failing at an inconvenient time.
Grinding usually indicates worn rollers, dry hinges, or a misaligned track. Squeaking typically means components need lubrication — springs, rollers, and hinges should be lubricated with a garage door-specific product (not WD-40) annually. A tune-up service addresses both issues and catches anything that needs replacement before it fails.
Pull the red emergency release cord to disconnect the opener, then try to lift the door manually. If it lifts easily, the problem is likely the opener. If the door is extremely heavy or won't budge, a broken spring is the most likely cause. Don't force it — call us for a same-day diagnosis.

Most repairs — spring replacement, cable repair, roller replacement, opener service — take 45 minutes to 90 minutes. New door installations typically take 2–3 hours. We'll give you a time estimate when we arrive and call if anything unexpected comes up.
It depends on the condition of the door panels and the frame. If the door operates well but has a broken spring or worn rollers, repair almost always makes sense. If the panels are badly damaged, the door is severely rusted, or multiple systems are failing simultaneously, replacement may be the better value. Mike will give you an honest assessment of both options at no obligation.
