Garage Door Spring Replacement in Denver
Your garage door springs carry the heavy load — literally. They counterbalance 150-400+ pounds of door weight, allowing you to open it effortlessly with minimal force.
When springs give out, your door becomes immobile and potentially hazardous. Denver Overhead CO delivers expert spring replacement using commercial-grade components built to last 15-20 years.

Spring tension has weakened and can no longer support the door's full weight.
Visible separation in spring coils
Spring has snapped. Stop using the door immediately.
Sudden loud bang from garage
A spring just failed. This distinctive sound often resembles a firecracker.
