Styles & brands we work with






Broken Garage Door Spring in Cibolo
A broken garage door spring in Cibolo is usually a torsion spring, the horizontal coil mounted above the door that does most of the lifting. When it snaps, it sounds like a gunshot in your garage, and the door won’t budge. In Cibolo’s post-2000 subdivisions like Buffalo Crossing, we’re seeing original builder-grade torsion springs fail far short of their rated 10,000 cycles because UV exposure and intense summer heat have accelerated metal fatigue inside the coil.
Replacing a broken torsion spring in Cibolo runs $180 to $340, depending on spring wire gauge, cycle rating, and whether we recommend a high-cycle upgrade. We stock common spring sizes on our trucks, so most Cibolo jobs finish in a single visit. The spring gets replaced, the door gets balanced, and you get a written price before we touch anything.
High-Cycle Spring Upgrade
Builder-grade springs in Cibolo’s newer subdivisions typically carry a 10,000-cycle rating. That’s roughly six to eight years of daily use before failure. We offer high-cycle springs rated for 25,000 cycles or more, which makes sense if you plan to stay in your home past the next warranty cycle. The price difference is modest, and the upgrade means you’re not watching for the next snap.
Same-Day Spring Replacement in Buffalo Crossing
When a spring breaks on a home in Buffalo Crossing or Turning Stone, we aim for same-day service. Our trucks are stocked for spring repairs specifically because Cibolo’s failure pattern is so predictable. You call, we dispatch, and you can track the tech’s arrival live from your phone.
Garage Door Extension Spring in Cibolo
A garage door extension spring in Cibolo is the older-style coil mounted on the side tracks, stretching and contracting to counterbalance the door’s weight. These are common on one-piece doors and early sectional doors in Cibolo’s older housing stock, particularly homes built before 2000 that predate the big building boom. Extension springs fail differently than torsion springs: they stretch out, lose tension, and sometimes snap with enough force to throw shrapnel across the garage if a safety cable isn’t installed.
Extension spring replacement in Cibolo runs $180 to $340, and we always install or upgrade the safety cable that runs through the spring core. That cable is code-critical and often missing on older Cibolo homes. If one extension spring breaks, we replace both, because the surviving spring has the same age, the same fatigue, and the same remaining life expectancy, which is about zero.
Safety Cable Installation
If your Cibolo garage has extension springs without safety cables, we recommend adding them on every spring we touch. The cable contains the spring if it snaps, preventing it from flying across the garage. It’s a low-cost addition that every extension spring system should have, and many older Cibolo doors are missing it.
Spring Inspection for Older Cibolo Homes
Homes near downtown Cibolo and along FM 78 that still have original extension spring setups should get an inspection before the next summer heat wave. We check spring tension, cable condition, roller wear, and track alignment in one visit. You’ll get a written assessment with pricing for anything that needs attention, even if nothing needs fixing today.
Trusted Brands We Service in Cibolo
We repair spring systems on every major door brand you’ll find in Cibolo: LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, Craftsman, and Raynor. Our techs are factory-trained on all eight, which matters when you’re dealing with a Raynor torsion assembly from 2003 or a Chamberlain opener that’s been baking in a Deer Creek garage for fifteen summers. We keep common replacement parts stocked on our trucks, so most Cibolo spring repairs don’t need a follow-up visit. If your door’s parts are still under manufacturer warranty, we handle the paperwork and apply any credit to your repair.

AfterCommon Garage Door Spring Repair Problems We See in Cibolo Homes
- Builder-grade torsion springs snapping early in Buffalo Crossing and Turning Stone. These post-2000 subdivisions used volume-builder hardware with 10,000-cycle ratings, and Cibolo’s UV exposure is cutting that lifespan short. We’ve replaced springs that failed after barely six years of daily use.
- Heat-soaked opener capacitors dying alongside springs in Deer Creek. Early-2000s openers in this subdivision are losing their capacitors from years of thermal stress, often at the same time the original torsion spring gives out. Homeowners think the whole door is shot when it’s actually two separate, repairable failures.
- Track misalignment from humidity swelling. Cibolo’s summer storm cycles bring humidity spikes that swell wooden door frames, throwing tracks out of alignment and putting uneven load on one spring until it breaks. We see this in older homes with wood-framed openings near Steele High School and the Cibolo Nature Center.
- Missing safety cables on extension spring conversions. Older Cibolo doors that were converted from extension to torsion systems sometimes have leftover hardware or improperly installed cables. We check safety harnesses on every spring repair, regardless of what originally failed.

FAQs About Garage Door Spring Repair in Cibolo
Deer Creek’s early-2000s homes were built with volume-builder torsion springs rated for roughly 10,000 cycles, and Cibolo’s intense summer heat has degraded those springs’ metal integrity faster than the rating predicted. Many are now failing at the same time as heat-stressed opener capacitors, creating a cluster of garage door failures that looks like a whole-door problem but is actually two repairable components. Call (361) 314-2738 and we’ll diagnose both in one visit.
Only if the opener is the actual failure point. If the torsion spring is snapped, the opener motor can’t lift the door’s full weight and will burn out trying. We test the spring tension before recommending any opener work, so you don’t spend $300 on an opener when a $200 spring replacement fixes the problem. The written quote shows exactly what failed and what it costs to fix.
Yes, and this applies to both torsion and extension systems. Garage door springs are installed in pairs, and both have the same age, usage, and UV exposure. The surviving spring is near failure even if it looks fine. Replacing both at once in Cibolo costs $180 to $340 and prevents a second service call within months. We’ll show you the wear on the surviving spring before we replace anything.
A torsion spring is the horizontal coil mounted above the door, and it stores energy by winding and unwinding as the door moves. An extension spring mounted on the side tracks stretches and contracts to do the same job. Both fail from metal fatigue, and both are dangerous to work on without proper training and winding bars. Cibolo homes built after 2000 mostly use torsion systems; older homes may still have extension springs.
Hail dents the door panels and can knock the door out of its track alignment, which puts uneven load on the springs over time. The springs themselves don’t dent, but a hard hail season has caused Cibolo homeowners to run their doors with damaged panels and bent tracks for months, and that added resistance shortens spring life. If hail hit your door, we’ll check spring tension and track straightness during the same visit. Call (361) 314-2738 for a free estimate.
