One of the top calls we get every week? Garage door spring replacement in Sammamish and nearby Eastside neighborhoods. Your springs do the heavy lifting — literally. They counterbalance the entire weight of the door, helping it glide open smoothly. When one breaks, it’s not subtle. You might hear a loud bang, or the door might suddenly feel impossibly heavy to lift by hand. Why it happens: Regular wear and tear (most springs last 7–10 years) Rust from moisture and humidity Lack of lubrication or seasonal maintenance What to do: If you suspect a broken spring, don’t try to open the door . The tension in these springs is intense — enough to cause serious injury. Instead, call a licensed professional for garage door spring replacement in Sammamish or Issaquah, WA. Fun fact: We once helped a family in Klahanie who thought their opener had died. It turned out to be a snapped spring — one quick repair later, and their door ran like new again.
