About twenty minutes from our Orlando base, we handle frayed, broken, and off-drum cables quickly and affordably. Free on-site estimates.
Why Altamonte Springs & Casselberry Homes Need Garage Door Cable Repair
Altamonte Springs and Casselberry's housing stock dates primarily from the 1970s through the 1990s, which means the garage door cables in these communities have been through multiple replacement cycles — or in some cases, have never been replaced at all. Homeowners who have lived in their homes for decades may have gone through cable replacements before and know what to expect. But newer owners may be surprised when cables that appear intact suddenly fray or snap. The reality is that cables in homes of this age are often well past their recommended service interval, and the combination of time, use, and Florida's climate has been working against them continuously.
Three or four decades of Central Florida humidity leave their mark on garage door cables. Steel strands that have been absorbing moisture and dealing with daily thermal stress for twenty or thirty years develop deep corrosion that may not be visible on the cable's exterior. The internal strands weaken first, reducing the cable's load capacity well before the outer strands show obvious fraying. This hidden deterioration is why cables on older homes sometimes fail without the visible warning signs that newer cables display before breaking.
What to Expect from Our Altamonte Springs & Casselberry Service
Cable repairs in Altamonte Springs and Casselberry are straightforward but important. We replace both cables, inspect the drums for wear grooves that can damage new cables, and check the bracket hardware for fatigue or corrosion. On older homes, we sometimes find that the drums themselves need replacing because decades of cable wear have created grooves that cause new cables to seat improperly. Addressing these underlying issues during the cable replacement ensures the new installation lasts as long as it should.
Both communities are about twenty minutes from our Orlando base. Cable repairs are typically completed in sixty to ninety minutes. Every visit starts with a free on-site estimate, and we carry cables and drum hardware for both modern and older residential garage door systems.

Cable repair costs in Altamonte Springs and Casselberry depend on the cable type and whether the drums or brackets also need attention. We provide a free on-site estimate that covers the full scope so you know the complete cost before work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to Altamonte Springs or Casselberry for a cable repair?
Both communities are about twenty minutes from our Orlando base. We can typically arrive within 60 to 90 minutes during regular hours, and same-day cable repair is available seven days a week. We carry replacement cables and hardware on every truck.
My cables have never been replaced on a 1980s home. Are they overdue?
Almost certainly yes. Cables installed in the 1980s are well past their recommended service life, even if they have not visibly failed yet. The internal strands may be significantly weakened by corrosion and fatigue. We strongly recommend having them inspected and replaced proactively rather than waiting for a failure.
Do you also check the drums when replacing cables?
Yes. Worn drums with grooves from years of cable wear can damage new cables and cause them to seat improperly. We inspect the drums as part of every cable replacement and recommend drum replacement when the wear is significant enough to affect the new cable's performance and lifespan.
