Yes. Ready-Lift replaces both torsion and extension springs throughout Hampton Roads. We always recommend replacing both springs simultaneously since the second spring has the same age and wear as the first and typically fails within weeks or months of the first. Spring replacement runs $250 to $450 for both springs installed, all parts and labor included. Call 757-230-2624 for same-day availability.

Consider replacing your garage door if it is 15 to 20 years old and has had recurring repairs, if it has multiple damaged or dented panels that cannot be matched, if it lacks insulation and is attached to a living space, or if the cost of the repair you are facing exceeds 50 percent of what a new door would cost. In Hampton Roads specifically, doors that show significant rust, corrosion on the bottom sections, or warping from years of coastal humidity are often more cost-effective to replace than repair. A new garage door also offers a strong return — the 2025 Cost vs. Value Report puts garage door replacement at 268 percent ROI, the highest of any home improvement project tracked. If you are unsure, Ready-Lift will inspect your door and give you both the repair cost and the replacement cost side by side with an honest recommendation either way.

Most residential garage doors benefit from a professional inspection and tune-up approximately once a year. Routine service can identify worn components, improve door balance, reduce noise, verify safety features, and help prevent unexpected breakdowns.
