A loud bang from the garage followed by a door that will not lift almost always means a broken spring. Springs do the heavy lifting on a garage door, and when one fails, the cables and tracks are often affected too. This guide lists local companies for garage door spring repair in Houston, plus cable and track repair, and explains costs and safety so you know what to expect before the technician arrives.
The companies below come from Repairior’s Houston directory and list spring repair among their services. No company paid to appear, and the order is not a ranking.

Torsion Springs vs Extension Springs
| Torsion springs | Extension springs | |
|---|---|---|
| Where they are | On a bar above the door opening | Along the horizontal tracks on each side |
| How they work | Twist to store energy and turn cable drums | Stretch and contract with pulleys and cables |
| Common in | Most newer Houston homes and commercial doors | Older and lighter residential doors |
| Typical lifespan | About 10,000 cycles standard; higher-cycle options available | Often shorter than torsion springs |
| Typical replacement range | $150–$400 | $125–$300 per pair |
Signs of a Broken or Worn Spring
- A loud bang from the garage, often in cold mornings or after heavy use.
- A visible gap in the coil of a torsion spring.
- The door feels very heavy, rises only a few inches or slams down.
- The opener hums or strains, or the door lifts crooked.
- Loose or tangled cables hanging beside the door.
Garage Door Cable Repair
Lift cables run from the bottom brackets up to the drums or pulleys. They fray from rust and age, and they often jump off the drum when a spring breaks or the door hits an obstacle. Signs include a door that hangs lower on one side, a cable lying loose on the floor or a door that stops partway. Cable replacement usually costs about $100–$250 and is commonly done at the same visit as a spring replacement. Bottom brackets connect to the cables under tension, so do not remove them yourself.
Garage Door Track and Off-Track Repair
A door comes off its track when rollers wear out, a track gets bent by a car or the cable fails on one side. An off-track door is unstable, so do not run the opener or try to force it closed. A technician will release tension safely, straighten or replace the track sections, fit new rollers if needed and rebalance the door. Typical costs are about $125–$350, more if track sections or panels need replacing.
Spring, Cable and Track Repair Costs in Houston
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| One torsion spring replaced | $150–$275 |
| Two torsion springs replaced | $225–$400 |
| High-cycle spring upgrade | $50–$150 extra |
| Extension springs (pair) | $125–$300 |
| Cable replacement | $100–$250 |
| Off-track door reset | $125–$350 |
| Track section replacement | $150–$400 |
| Roller replacement | $100–$250 |
These are typical ranges for planning, not quotes. Door weight, spring size and after-hours visits change the price.
Why You Should Not Replace Springs Yourself
Torsion springs are wound under high tension. Unwinding or winding them without the right tools and training can cause severe hand, arm and head injuries. Cables and bottom brackets are also under load. Safe homeowner steps: stop using the opener, keep the door closed if it is safe, keep people away and call a technician. Many companies can replace springs the same day.
Questions to Ask Before Approving the Job
- What size and cycle rating are the new springs?
- Are you replacing one spring or both, and why?
- Does the price include cables, rollers and a door balance and safety test?
- What warranty covers the springs and labor?
- Is the service-call fee credited to the repair?

Should both garage door springs be replaced at once?

Standard torsion springs are often rated around 10,000 cycles, about 7–10 years for typical home use. High-cycle springs last longer.
