Garage Door Repair in Altamonte Springs & Casselberry, Orlando, FL

The housing stock in Altamonte Springs and Casselberry is predominantly from the 1970s through the 1990s, which places most homes squarely in the range where garage door systems are either on their second or third set of springs or are running on original hardware that is well past its expected lifespan. The typical home in this area has an attached two-car garage with a standard 16-foot wide door and a torsion spring setup. Homes built in the 1970s and early 1980s sometimes still have extension spring configurations that are less common in newer construction. We replace these regularly, and in many cases we recommend converting from extension to torsion springs during a replacement because torsion springs are safer, more durable, and better suited to the weight of modern insulated doors.

Spring failures are the single most common call we handle in Altamonte Springs and Casselberry. A torsion spring on a home in this area has typically been through 25 to 40 years of Florida thermal cycling — expanding in afternoon heat and contracting overnight, thousands of times per year. Even a high-quality spring rated for 20,000 cycles does not last indefinitely in this climate, and many homes in this area are on their second or third set of springs. When a spring breaks, the door becomes inoperable and often drops suddenly, which is both a major inconvenience and a safety concern. We stock the most common spring sizes on our trucks and can usually complete a spring replacement the same day you call, including on weekends.

Opener repairs are the second most frequent call type in this area. Many homes in Altamonte Springs and Casselberry still have original or early-replacement openers from the 1990s and 2000s — gear-driven chain-drive units that have logged decades of use. These openers develop issues ranging from stripped gears and failing capacitors to worn-out travel limit switches that cause the door to reverse unexpectedly. Replacement opener circuit boards are available for some models, but for units that are 15 or more years old, a full opener replacement often makes more financial sense than repeated repairs on an aging motor. We install belt-drive and chain-drive openers at various price points and can help you decide whether a repair or replacement is the better investment for your situation.

One of the practical advantages of the Altamonte Springs and Casselberry location is accessibility. These cities are well-connected via Interstate 4, State Road 436, and State Road 434, which makes them straightforward for us to reach and means we can often fit same-day calls into the schedule without difficulty. Seminole County permit requirements apply for full door replacements, and we handle the paperwork and inspection scheduling. For homeowners in HOA-governed communities — and there are several in this area, including Spring Valley, Jamestown, and the various Casselberry condominium complexes — we are familiar with common restrictions on door styles and colors and can help you select a replacement that meets your HOA guidelines.
