Spring Replacement
Torsion springs near the water rust from the inside and snap early. We replace them in matched pairs with galvanized coils, reset the balance, and test the door by hand. Most jobs run $200 to $500 installed.

Local detail
Garage doors in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
The town is barely a few blocks deep in places. East of A1A, around Anglin's Fishing Pier and the Commercial Boulevard blocks, you find low rise buildings and small 1950s beach cottages, many with a single eight by seven door or a carport that was closed in later. West of the Intracoastal, Bel Air and Terra Mar hold single family homes on canals with two car openings. Ocean spray reaches the first several streets on an east wind, so hardware here corrodes faster than anywhere inland. Galvanized fasteners, coated springs and sealed nylon rollers are worth the small upcharge in this zip code.

What we do here
Repairs and installation in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea
02
Cables and Drums
Frayed cable is a common salt air failure on older canal side homes. We replace both cables as a set, check the drums for grooving, and re-level the door so it stops pulling to one side.
03
Opener Repair and Install
Dead board, stripped gear, bad safety eyes or a unit that hums and does nothing. Repairs typically run $150 to $300. A new opener supplied and installed is usually $350 to $650 depending on horsepower and drive type.
04
Off Track Doors
A door off its track after a bump or a snapped cable is not a DIY fix. We secure the door, reseat the rollers, straighten or replace bent track sections, and check the hinges before we hand it back.
05
New Door Installation
Replacing a door in Broward means a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or an HVHZ rated Florida Product Approval, because Broward sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, plus a permit and an inspection. We handle the paperwork, pull the old door, and set the new one plumb. If your job prices over $2,500, there is one page you sign yourself, the construction lien law notice in your contract, and we walk you through it first. Single doors typically run $700 to $2,000 installed, doubles $1,200 to $4,000.
06
Corrosion Tune Up
Once a year near the beach is not overkill. We lubricate the torsion bar and bearings, tighten hardware, wipe salt residue off the springs and rollers, and reset the opener force. Most tune ups run $90 to $150.
Questions
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea garage door questions
Why do springs fail faster in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea?
Salt air. Airborne chloride settles on the spring coils and into the cable strands, and rust grows in the gaps between coils where nobody looks. A spring rated for ten thousand cycles can give out years early here. Lubricating the springs and cables twice a year buys real time.
Should I replace one spring or both?
Both, when the door uses a matched pair. The two springs age together and carry the same load, so replacing one leaves you with a mismatched set and a second call a few months later. A matched pair on a typical door runs $200 to $500 installed.
