Homes and Garages in Reading
Reading is crossed by I-93 and by I-95 (Route 128), with Route 28 running through Reading Square and a commuter rail stop in the center, about 31 minutes from our Chelmsford base. Census estimates put the typical home at 1960, and about 8 in 10 homes were built before 1990.
In September 2026 we replaced the extension springs on a Reading door with a new pair, safety containment cables, pulleys and sheaves, and fitted ten nylon rollers. Extension springs run along the horizontal tracks on each side of the door, and they are replaced as a pair so the door lifts evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about spring replacement in Reading.
How much does spring replacement cost?
Torsion spring replacement is $475-$1,200; extension spring replacement is $325-$750, parts and labor included. Where you land in that range depends on your door's weight and the spring wire gauge required. Heavier insulated double-car doors need higher-cycle springs and sit at the upper end; a light single-car door lands at the low end. We confirm the exact total on site before any work starts and almost always recommend replacing both springs together when one breaks. The other is usually close behind.
Why is DIY spring replacement dangerous?
Torsion springs store enough rotational energy to break bones, blind you, or worse if released uncontrolled. We wind and release them with proper winding bars and tension measurement, and the whole job is usually 1-2 hours.
How do I know if my garage door spring is broken?
Most obvious signs: loud bang from the garage (often at night when temperatures drop), the door won't open or feels extremely heavy, a visible 2-inch gap in the spring coil, the opener motor strains and stops, or the door opens 6 inches and halts. Don't try to force it. Call us.
Should I replace both springs at once?
Yes, almost always. If one spring snapped, the other has been through the same number of cycles and is usually close to failing too. Doing both during one visit saves you a second service call.
