Garage Door Garage Door Spring Replacement Sun Valley, NV
Homeowners across Sun Valley and the surrounding area call us for garage door spring replacement because we know Sun Valley. The common drivers locally are dried, cracked bottom seals that let dust into the garage, faded, sun-baked panel finishes on exposed doors, dust-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level, and dust-blinded photo-eye safety sensors — and we fix the cause, not just the symptom.
Garage doors in Washoe County live with dry conditions year-round with big seasonal swings — scorching summers, cold winters, and frequent wind-driven dust. For Sun Valley that means watching for intense UV that embrittles rubber gaskets and bottom seals, heat-soak that fatigues torsion springs years early, and fine wind-borne dust that grinds down track rollers; we factor it into every repair and every new-door spec.
Sun Valley homeowners usually call us about one of a few things: dried, cracked bottom seals that let dust into the garage, faded, sun-baked panel finishes on exposed doors, dust-fouled tracks that bind and throw the door off level, and dust-blinded photo-eye safety sensors. We diagnose the real cause — not just the symptom — before quoting a flat rate.
Spring replacement is the most common high-stakes garage door repair and the one we strongly recommend professional service for. The torque stored in a wound torsion spring can release a winding bar at velocities that send it across a garage; the cost of a professional spring replacement is a fraction of the cost of an ER visit. We replace torsion and extension springs in a single visit, with springs sized by measured door weight rather than guessed by appearance.
The default upgrade we offer is from builder-grade 10,000-cycle springs to 30,000-cycle high-cycle springs. The price difference is small — usually $40-$60 — and the lifespan triples, which means a typical homeowner replaces springs once during the door's life instead of three times. We back 30,000-cycle springs with a lifetime warranty for the original homeowner.
Every spring replacement includes a balance test, opener force/travel calibration to match the new spring tension, a cable and drum inspection (cables wear at a similar rate to springs and often need replacement at the same time), and a quick photo-eye verification. The complete service is one flat-rate visit with no hidden add-ons.
A snapped torsion spring shows a clear 2-inch gap between coils where the spring separated. Extension springs that have failed often hang slack.
Door won't open with the remote
Modern openers refuse to lift a door without spring assistance — the motor would burn out. Spring failure is the most common cause of 'opener won't lift the door'.
Door heavy as concrete to lift manually
With the opener disconnected, a balanced door should lift with one hand. If you need both hands and full effort, the spring tension is wrong.
Door drops fast and slams
When you let the door go partway up and it crashes down, the counter-weight system has failed. Stop using the door — manual operation is unsafe.
Door 7+ years old, never replaced springs
Builder springs hit 10,000-cycle end-of-life around 7–10 years of typical use. Replacing proactively avoids the crack-of-dawn emergency call.
Common causes & what we fix
Cycle fatigue
Springs are rated by cycle count, not years. The clock starts at install and runs every time the door cycles. End-of-life is a predictable event.
Under-sizing at original install
Builders frequently spec the cheapest spring that meets minimum requirements. Under-sized springs run at higher stress per cycle and fail earlier than rated.
Coastal corrosion
Salt-air pitting weakens spring wire from the outside in. Uncoated springs in coastal zones can fail at 60% of their cycle rating.
Single-spring on a heavy door
Builders sometimes use a single torsion spring on doors that should run dual-spring. Single-spring on a heavy door fails roughly twice as fast.
Lack of lubrication
Torsion springs need a light annual lubrication to prevent inter-coil friction wear. Dry springs fail noticeably faster than maintained ones.

Single-spring: 45–60 minutes. Dual-spring or 30,000-cycle upgrade: 60–90 minutes. Add 15–20 minutes if cables also need replacement (common).
On dual-spring systems, replace both. The second spring is statistically days or weeks from failing — replacing both at once costs less than two separate visits and re-balances the system properly.
