Springs Questions, Answered

Why shouldn't I replace the spring myself?

Garage door springs store an enormous amount of energy. A slip can cause serious injury. Carson has the right tools and training to do the work safely.

Should I replace one spring or both?

If you have two springs and one breaks, the other is usually close behind. We'll give you an honest recommendation — but the choice is always yours.

How long does spring replacement take?

Once the appointment begins, most spring replacements are completed in about an hour. Call or text Carson for current scheduling availability.
