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 Plantation
Plantation sits well inland, roughly eight miles from the beach, so salt corrosion matters far less here than in Hollywood or Pompano. What we see instead is age. The Plantation Acres and Plantation Isles sections carry 1960s and 1970s homes on generous lots, often with side entry garages and long driveways under mature oaks. Jacaranda Lakes and Plantation Gardens run to 1980s and 1990s two car openings at sixteen by seven. The common failures are simply original equipment reaching the end of its life: twenty five year old torsion springs, chain drive openers with worn gears, and swollen wood jambs from years of oak canopy shade and rain splash. Steel doors here often outlast their own hardware.

What we do here
Repairs and installation in Plantation
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
Plantation garage door questions
My Jacaranda home still has the original 1980s opener. Repair or replace?
If the gears or the logic board have failed on an opener that old, replacement is usually the better spend. Parts get scarce, and a unit from that era has no rolling code security and often no working safety reversal. A new opener supplied and installed typically runs $350 to $650.
Why do my garage door tracks keep coming loose in Plantation?
Older Plantation garages often have wood jambs, and decades under an oak canopy means damp wood and stripped lag screws. The track pulls away, the door binds and rollers pop out. The fix is repairing or sistering the jamb and re anchoring properly, not just retightening the same holes.
