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 Lighthouse Point
Venetian Isles and Coral Key Villas were platted as waterfront lots, and the homes there mostly went up in the 1960s as single story ranches. Many have since been torn down or raised into two story houses with three car garages and heavy carriage style doors. Those doors punish an undersized spring. The Lake Placid section runs a little older and more original. Everywhere in the city you sit within a mile of the Intracoastal and the inlet, so the salt load is closer to beachfront than to anything inland. Stainless fasteners and coated springs are not an upsell here, they are the part that lasts.

What we do here
Repairs and installation in Lighthouse Point
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
Lighthouse Point garage door questions
Why does a canal home in Lighthouse Point go through springs faster?
Constant salt and humidity. On a canal lot the door faces moving air off the water all day, and chloride settles into the spring coils, the cable strands and the bearing races. Rust adds friction, friction burns cycles, and the spring reaches its limit years early.
When should I replace a door ahead of hurricane season?
Spring is the sensible window. Hurricane season runs June through November, and lead times stretch once storms are in the forecast. The door is part of your wind load envelope, so if yours is dented, rusted along the bottom or missing its struts, do not wait for a watch.
