Garage Door Spring Repair in Portland, ME
Has Your Garage Door
Spring, Sprung?
Why Do Garage Door Springs Break?
Your garage door relies on heavy-duty springs to operate. There are two different types: extension springs mounted on either side of the track, or torsion springs mounted above the door in a steel shaft. Most garage door manufacturers use torsion springs, but no matter which type you have, they handle the majority of the heavy lifting. Precision techs are trained to replace both types.
Since garage door springs do most of the work when it comes to opening and closing, it’s common for them to get worn out over time. Aside from regular use, there are a few reasons you might need a garage door spring repair, including:
- Extremely hot or cold temperatures
- Rust buildup, which is often caused by excess moisture or improper lubrication
- An imbalance in the door
- A different component breaking, which makes the springs work harder than they should
- Improper installation
Never attempt to fix a broken spring yourself. Garage doors are your home’s largest, heaviest moving object. This means that not only are they tough to lift, but they may also come falling down with a lot of force if installed incorrectly. For your safety, this type of repair should be undertaken only by a qualified Precision Garage Door technician.
Professional Garage Door Spring Repair & Replacement
Our trained Precision technicians know exactly what it takes to keep your garage door operating safely. We follow several steps to make sure your spring replacement gets done right on the first visit.
Saving You From Future Hassle
When one garage door spring breaks, it’s safe to assume that the second spring will follow shortly after. Relying on one new spring to do most of the lifting will wear it down prematurely. Precision technicians will normally recommend replacing both garage door springs to save you from any future complications or damaged components.
Picking the Right Spring for You
Garage doors come in varying sizes and weights, and each one fits a different type of spring. If the wrong type gets installed, your garage door will never be properly balanced, causing extra wear on other components. We make certain that the springs we install a perfect fit for your door and confirm it with a balance test.
Making Sure Your Garage Door is Safe
Before we get started on your broken spring replacement, we conduct a 25-point safety inspection to make sure there aren’t any additional damaged components. This helps us find out whether broken springs are actually the problem, make sure your door meets safety standards, and find any issues that could arise in the future.
Longer Lasting, Corrosion-Resistant Springs
In a 72-hour salt spray test performed by a third-party research company, only Precision’s Green Powder Coated Springs proved to be 100 percent resistant to corrosion. Precision installs a weather-resistant powder-coated spring to prevent corrosion and friction. We believe in our springs, so we put our name on them and we back them up with the industry’s best warranty.

“I wanted to give a shout out to your team for a job well done. The installation of my two new insulated garage doors was done quickly and with great attention to detail. I wanted to thank Jayden especially for his polite and professional service during the install. He even noticed a small dent in one of the panels and immediately informed me that they would be replacing that panel. His co-workers that day were Dawson and Ryan. I also wanted to thank them as well for a job well done. Jayden even called me the next day to tell me that the new panel was available and he would be right out to swap it in. I am very pleased with the service your team has provided and would recommend your company and team for any garage door repairs and replacement.” – Michael R.
“Working with Precision was most likely the easiest, friendliest, and best service of any kind we’ve had this year. A technician was available right away, even though our issue was not urgent. Our service window started at 8 a.m., and Seth called shortly after 8 to give us a more precise arrival time, less than 30 minutes later. He did our tune-up and repair promptly and seemed very knowledgeable about our equipment (even though they were not the ones who originally sold or installed what we have). He also gave us helpful information about maintaining the door and what to watch out for as signs that anything was nearing the time of further maintenance, but he did not try to “sell” us anything beyond what we’d requested. I would definitely recommend Precision for its excellent service.” – Amanda & Bryce A.
