Dry summers and wet winters concentrate water intrusion into a few months, so flashing and drainage details that hold are what matter most.
Torsion springs are the part that fails, and they fail hard: a 7-foot door carries roughly 150 pounds held by springs under extreme tension. Replacing them is not a homeowner job, and springs are always replaced in pairs - a fresh spring beside a fatigued one just breaks the new one early.
Modern openers must auto-reverse on contact and on a broken photo-eye beam. If yours does not, that is a safety defect, not a quirk to live with.
What the job includes
- Torsion and extension spring replacement
- Opener repair and replacement
- Off-track and cable repair
- Roller, hinge and track service
- Panel replacement
- New insulated door installation
