Expert torsion and extension spring replacement
When a garage door spring snaps in Sugar Land, the door turns into a 150-to-300-pound dead weight. The opener can't lift it, the cables go slack, and the door is effectively locked shut. Lemus Garage Door Services has spent 15+ years replacing springs for homeowners across First Colony, Telfair, and New Territory — and our trucks stay stocked with the torsion and extension sizes used in homes near US 59 and Sugar Land Town Square.
Spring repair is safe and quick with the right tools, and hazardous without them. Our technicians use winding bars rated to the spring's tension, replace springs in matched pairs, and balance-test the door before leaving. You get a posted price before any work begins, a credited $49 service call, and a workmanship warranty on every job. Call (281) 906-4783 for same-day service.
Never try to open or repair a door with a broken spring. Torsion springs hold 200–400 lbs of tension and can cause serious injury. Call a Licensed & Insured pro at (281) 906-4783.
Most Sugar Land homeowners never think about their garage door springs until the door won't move. Spotting the warning signs early turns an emergency into a scheduled visit.
A torsion spring failing sounds like a firecracker or heavy gunshot, often heard from inside the house. If the door worked yesterday and won't open today after a bang, a broken spring is almost certainly why.
A balanced door lifts with roughly 10 pounds of effort. Disconnect the opener — if the door feels like dead weight or slams back down, the springs are no longer carrying the load.
Check the spring on the bar above the door. A two-to-three-inch gap where the coils have separated is a confirmed break. Do not operate the door.
Many openers in First Colony and Riverstone have a force sensor. When a spring breaks the opener strains, hits its limit, and reverses — leaving the door cracked open.
If the motor hums while the door sits still, the opener has lost the mechanical assist the springs provide. Running it like this can burn out the motor.
Every spring call in Sugar Land follows the same careful sequence, refined over 1,000+ satisfied customers so nothing gets missed.
We measure the wire size, inside diameter, and length of your existing spring, weigh the door, and inspect the cables, drums, and bearings. A wrong-size spring fails fast — exact measurement is the difference between a long-lasting spring and a short-lived one.
You get the complete price — parts and labor — before we pick up a tool. No surprises, no pressure. The $49 service call is credited toward the repair.
We unwind the old springs with properly rated winding bars, install the matched new pair, and re-tension to the manufacturer's spec for your door's exact weight.
We disconnect the opener and lift the door by hand to confirm it holds at waist height — the test for a correctly balanced door — then lubricate the springs, rollers, and hinges.
We run the door through several full open-and-close cycles, confirm the opener force settings and safety reverse, and walk you through the work.
Mounted on a bar above the door — the standard on most newer Sugar Land homes in First Colony and Riverstone. We replace single and double-spring setups.
Run along the horizontal tracks — common on older homes near Sugar Creek. We replace them or upgrade you to a safer torsion system.
Rated for 25,000+ cycles — a smart upgrade for busy New Territory households that cycle the door many times a day.
Lemus uses honest, posted ranges — never a single fake "from" price. In Sugar Land, torsion spring replacement runs $150–$250 per pair installed and extension springs run $100–$150 per pair, including parts, labor, and the balance test. The $49 service call is credited toward the repair.
Door weight and size, the wire gauge and cycle rating of the spring, single versus double-spring setup, and whether cables or bearings also need attention all move the number within that range. A heavy insulated double-car door costs more to spring than a light single-car door.
We quote and replace both springs as a pair. Replacing only the broken one leaves a mismatched, unbalanced door and almost always means a second service call within months — the pair price saves Sugar Land homeowners money over the life of the door.
For larger jobs that combine spring, cable, and opener work, ask about payment options when you call. A correctly sized pair of springs and a balanced door also protect your opener from premature burnout — a far bigger expense.

A broken spring rarely happens at a convenient time. When your door is stuck shut and your car is trapped inside before work in First Colony and Riverstone, you need a real same-day option.

A failing torsion spring makes a loud bang or pop, often heard from inside the house. Afterward the door feels far too heavy to lift by hand, may rise only a few inches before stopping, or the opener motor runs while the door stays put. You may also see a visible two-to-three-inch gap in the spring on the bar above the door. If you notice any of these in your Sugar Land home, stop using the door and call (281) 906-4783.
Yes. First Colony, Riverstone, and Telfair are all on our daily Sugar Land route off US 59 and near Sugar Land Town Square. Most spring calls placed earlier in the day are completed that same afternoon, because our trucks already carry the standard Sugar Land-spec spring sizes.
Springs are installed as a matched pair and wear at nearly the same rate. When one breaks in a New Territory or Sugar Creek home, the second is usually only weeks behind. Replacing just one leaves the door unbalanced, overworks the opener, and almost always means a second service call. Replacing the pair is the safer and cheaper choice over the life of the door.
We strongly advise against DIY torsion spring work. These springs are wound under 200–400 pounds of tension; wrong-size winding bars or the wrong winding direction can cause serious hand and face injuries. Professional replacement costs far less than an emergency-room visit, and Lemus is Licensed & Insured for exactly this work.
Standard springs last roughly 7–10 years or 10,000–15,000 cycles, where one cycle is a single open and close. Sugar Land's humidity accelerates rust on uncoated springs, so doors cycled several times a day in First Colony or Telfair often land at the lower end of that range. A high-cycle or lifetime spring upgrade is a smart option for busy households.
Yes. Along with standard torsion and extension springs, Lemus installs high-cycle springs rated for 25,000+ cycles for Sugar Land homeowners who want a longer-lasting solution. They cost a little more up front but outlast standard springs by years, which makes them worthwhile for doors used many times daily.
Every spring replacement Lemus performs in Sugar Land is backed by our workmanship warranty, and high-cycle springs carry an extended parts warranty. With a 4.9-star rating across 248+ reviews and 15+ years serving Sugar Land, we stand behind the balance and safety of every door.
