Garage Door Spring Repair in Ballard, Seattle, WA

Before You Book Garage Door Spring Repair in Ballard

Ballard grew up around fishing, lumber and the boatyards on Salmon Bay, and its older blocks still have the small houses and back-lot garages of that era. Over the last two decades it has also added more townhomes and rowhouses than almost anywhere else in the city. Whatever the age of the house, the spring above the door was sized for a particular weight, and after decades of new doors, added insulation and repainting, it is often the wrong spring.

The garages we see here are alley garages with single doors, attached two-car garages on the mid-century view homes, and narrow tuck-under doors on the new rowhouses. Whatever the setup, we weigh the door, size the springs to that weight and the door's height, wind them to the correct turns and finish with a hand balance test.

Signs You Need Garage Door Spring Repair in Ballard

On the Ground in Ballard

The houses here are 1900s–1940s bungalows and cottages on the older grid, mid-century view homes up on Sunset Hill and Loyal Heights, and dense new townhome and rowhouse blocks, and spring setups vary as much as the houses: single and double torsion, extension springs on older doors and low-headroom systems in tight garages.

Rowhouse garages are narrow, and the door is often the only way in or out of the unit with a car. That makes a broken spring more urgent than usual, so we keep the common spring sizes for builder-grade 8-by-7 doors on the truck.
