Garage Door Spring Repair in Orlando, FL

Why Orlando Homes Need Garage Door Spring Repair

Orlando's housing stock spans nearly seven decades, from post-war bungalows near downtown to the newest builds south of the airport. That age range means our technicians encounter every type of spring system in regular rotation. Older homes in neighborhoods like College Park and Colonialtown often still have original extension spring setups that have been cycling for twenty or thirty years — well past their expected lifespan. Even the newer homes in areas like SoDo and along the I-Drive corridor use standard-cycle torsion springs that can wear out faster than homeowners expect, especially when the garage door gets used as the primary entry point several times a day.

Central Florida's climate accelerates spring fatigue in ways homeowners rarely think about. Orlando sits in one of the highest lightning-strike zones in the country, and the electrical surges that follow storms can cause garage doors to cycle unexpectedly, adding wear to the springs. Year-round heat and humidity also take a toll — metal expands and contracts constantly, and moisture can cause subtle corrosion on uncoated springs. A spring rated for ten thousand cycles in a temperate climate may lose a year or two of service life under Orlando conditions.

What to Expect from Our Orlando Service

Most of the spring calls we handle in Orlando proper involve torsion spring failures on standard two-car doors. Homeowners in the older neighborhoods near downtown frequently need both springs replaced at once because the original pair was installed together and tends to fail within weeks of each other. We also see a fair number of extension spring conversions, where we upgrade older single-spring setups to a balanced torsion system that distributes weight more evenly and lasts longer. Homes in the Mills 50 area and around Ivanhoe Village often have older one-car garages with extension springs that are well overdue for replacement.
