How do you know what kind of spring my door has without seeing it?
We can't know for certain, but the build year gets us close. Houses from the 1980s and 90s common across this area typically have a single torsion spring with a center bearing plate, while some older extension-spring setups still show up on the earliest builds from the 1970s. We confirm on site before quoting.
Is it worth replacing an opener instead of repairing it?
Depends on the age and the part that failed. A dead circuit board on a unit that's otherwise mechanically sound is often a straight board swap. But if the gear, board, and motor are all original to a house from the early 90s, repair costs start stacking up close to replacement cost.
Do you work outside Duncanville itself?
Yes, we cover the surrounding area including Lancaster, Midlothian, among other nearby communities within roughly a 20-mile radius.
Why did my spring break with no warning?
Springs fail by cycle count, not by a single event, so a spring installed when the house was built decades ago is often near the end of its rated life regardless of how carefully the door was used. The snap just happens to land on an ordinary day.
