Garage door spring repair in Stittsville, same-day service
Heard a loud bang and now your Stittsville door will not lift? That is a snapped torsion spring. Do not force the door or run the opener. We replace springs the same day, from $200, on every brand, big double door and oversized shop door.
How fast can you replace a broken garage door spring in Stittsville?
Same day, 7 days a week. We stock common torsion springs on the truck and reach Jackson Trails, Fairwinds, Crossing Bridge, Amberwood Village and Bryanston Gate within hours, often the same call. There are no overtime fees on evenings or weekends.
A snapped spring leaves your car trapped, so we treat it as urgent.

How do I know my garage door spring is broken?
The clearest sign is a loud bang, then a door too heavy to lift or one that rises a few inches and stops. You may also see a visible gap in the torsion spring above the door.
The loud bang and a door that won't lift
Many Stittsville homeowners hear a sound like a gunshot from the garage on a cold morning. After that, the opener strains, hums, or lifts the heavy door a few inches then reverses. That is the spring, not the opener. The door also feels far too heavy to lift by hand.
A 2-inch gap in the torsion spring above the door
Look at the metal bar above the door. A two to three inch gap in the coiled spring, with a clean break across the winding cone, means it has snapped. For the full walk-through of how broken garage door spring repair works, see our main spring page.
Should I use my garage door with a broken spring?
No. A torsion spring counterbalances a door that can weigh 150 pounds or more, and a wide double door or oversized shop door even heavier. With it broken, the door hangs on the opener and cables alone, which can give way without warning.
Do not try to lift the door, and do not run the opener, which can strip its gears or snap a cable hauling the full weight. A spring is under high tension, and replacing one needs winding bars and training, so this is never a safe do-it-yourself job. Park the car elsewhere, keep children and pets clear, and call us.
What does garage door spring repair cost in Stittsville?
A single torsion spring starts from $200 and a matched pair from $300, and the service call is free when we do the repair over $250. The exact price depends on the spring size, wire size and cycle life your door needs.
Single spring, spring pair, and the free-service-call offer
We quote the price before we start, never after, and there are no overtime fees. The service call is $35 to $85, and free when the repair is over $250. For the full breakdown, see what new garage door springs cost in Ottawa, or compare it with our full garage door repair cost guide. If your opener was straining for weeks, ask about garage door opener repair at the same visit.
Why do garage door springs break in Stittsville winters?
Cold makes tired steel brittle. Steel contracts in the cold, lubricant stiffens, and a brittle spring near the end of its 10,000 cycle life snaps after a cold snap. Stittsville's exposed west-end and rural mornings are the final straw.
Exposed Jackson Trails and Fairwinds subdivisions
Open new subdivisions near Jackson Trails, Fairwinds and the Canadian Tire Centre nearby catch the worst of the west-end wind, so garage temperatures drop fast overnight. A standard spring is rated for about 10,000 cycles, near seven years, and cold is why so many Ottawa springs snap in cold weather on the coldest mornings.
Country properties with oversized shop doors put more load on springs
On the rural edges of Stittsville, country properties run detached shops with wide, oversized doors that weigh a lot per cycle. More weight on every lift means standard springs wear out faster, so we often fit a high-cycle or premium spring with a limited-lifetime warranty when the door is heavy or runs many times daily.

"Detached shop door off the track at our place near Fairwinds. They sorted it fast and greased everything up."
