Spring Replacement
Torsion springs near the water rust from the inside and snap early. We replace them in matched pairs with galvanized coils, reset the balance, and test the door by hand. Most jobs run $200 to $500 installed.

Garage doors in Hollywood
Hollywood has some of the oldest housing stock in south Broward, and it shows in the garages. Hollywood Lakes and the streets around Young Circle hold 1920s through 1950s homes with narrow single bay openings, some still fitted with one piece tilt up doors on ancient side spring hardware. Head west into Emerald Hills and Hollywood Hills and you get 1960s and 1970s ranches with standard eight by seven steel sections. The beach side matters: within a mile of the Broadwalk, salt air pits springs, rollers and center bearings years faster than inland. We carry coated hardware for those addresses. Older openings also tend to sit out of square, so a replacement door usually needs jamb work before it will hang true.

What we do here
Repairs and installation in Hollywood
02
Cables and Drums
Frayed cable is a common salt air failure on older canal side homes. We replace both cables as a set, check the drums for grooving, and re-level the door so it stops pulling to one side.
03
Opener Repair and Install
Dead board, stripped gear, bad safety eyes or a unit that hums and does nothing. Repairs typically run $150 to $300. A new opener supplied and installed is usually $350 to $650 depending on horsepower and drive type.
04
Off Track Doors
A door off its track after a bump or a snapped cable is not a DIY fix. We secure the door, reseat the rollers, straighten or replace bent track sections, and check the hinges before we hand it back.
05
New Door Installation
Replacing a door in Broward means a Miami-Dade Notice of Acceptance or an HVHZ rated Florida Product Approval, because Broward sits in the High Velocity Hurricane Zone, plus a permit and an inspection. We handle the paperwork, pull the old door, and set the new one plumb. If your job prices over $2,500, there is one page you sign yourself, the construction lien law notice in your contract, and we walk you through it first. Single doors typically run $700 to $2,000 installed, doubles $1,200 to $4,000.
06
Corrosion Tune Up
Once a year near the beach is not overkill. We lubricate the torsion bar and bearings, tighten hardware, wipe salt residue off the springs and rollers, and reset the opener force. Most tune ups run $90 to $150.
Questions
Hollywood garage door questions
My garage is two blocks from Hollywood Beach. Do springs really fail faster there?
Yes. Salt carried inland off the Broadwalk pits the spring wire, the rollers and the center bearing plate. On beachside Hollywood homes we often see springs give out well before their rated cycle count. Coated springs and stainless fasteners cost a little more and last considerably longer here.
Can you fix a one piece tilt up door on an older Hollywood home?
Often yes. Tilt up doors use side springs and pivot hardware that is still available, so a broken spring or a seized pivot is usually repairable. If the slab itself has rotted or split we will price a sectional conversion instead, which means new track, jamb work and a permit.
