Cooper City, Florida
Cooper City is compact, residential and almost entirely two car garages, which makes the failures here fairly predictable and the repairs quick. We replace broken springs and cables, fix and install openers, put off track doors back where they belong and handle full door replacement with the permit and the HOA paperwork included.
Garage door springs are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury or death if handled without the correct tools and training. Nothing on this page is instruction to repair one. Call (954) 335-8453 and we will handle it. Full safety notice.

Local detail
The city was incorporated in 1959 but the housing that matters for garage doors arrived in waves from the late seventies onward, with Rock Creek, Country Address and Embassy Lakes filling in through the eighties and nineties and Monterra and the newer pockets arriving much later. That spread means two very different jobs. In the older communities the original hardware has been replaced at least once already, so the question is usually whether the last repair was done properly and sized correctly. In the nineties stock the builder hardware is often still in place and is now failing for the first time, which is when a homeowner discovers that the springs, the rollers and the opener all reached the end together. Most of the community associations here take an interest in how a replacement door looks from the street, so panel style and color are worth settling before the order goes in.

What we do here
Most Weston homes went up between the early nineties and the mid two thousands, which puts the original torsion springs well past their cycle life. We replace them in matched pairs, size the coil to the actual weight of your door rather than to the old one, reset the balance and test the door by hand. Most jobs run $200 to $500 installed.
A cable that has been fraying quietly at the drum will let one side of the door drop without warning. We replace both cables as a set, check the drums for grooving, re-level the door and make sure it stops pulling to one side on the way up.
Dead logic board, stripped nylon gear, misaligned safety eyes, or a unit that hums and goes nowhere. Repairs typically run $150 to $300. A new opener supplied and installed is usually $350 to $650 depending on horsepower and drive type. A belt drive is worth the difference when there is a bedroom over the garage.
A door off its track after a bump or a snapped cable is not a do it yourself fix. We secure the door, reseat the rollers, straighten or replace bent track sections and check every hinge before we hand it back. Running the opener on an off track door is how a cheap repair turns into a bent panel.
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. In most Weston villages it also means architectural approval before anything is ordered. We pull the product data sheet and the approval number for your board, then set the new door plumb once it clears. 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.
Heat cycling and summer humidity are hard on a door a long way from the water. We lubricate the torsion bar and bearings, tighten the hardware that vibrates loose over a season, check the roller stems and reset the opener force and travel limits. Most tune ups run $90 to $150.
