The thud of a broken torsion spring is one of the most alarming sounds a homeowner can hear. A faulty spring can trap your vehicle in the garage, create a serious safety hazard, and leave your home exposed to the elements. At CountBricks, we combine deep residential construction expertise with our AI-powered estimating platform to make spring repair in Austin faster, safer, and more transparent than ever.
Garage doors rely on either torsion or extension springs to counterbalance hundreds of pounds of steel or composite panels. When a spring snaps, the entire weight shifts to the opener track—and often to whoever attempts a DIY fix. That’s why CountBricks dispatches certified residential technicians who specialize in:
• Precise load calculations using CountBricks.com/ai-tools
• Matching spring wire gauge and coil length to door weight
• Calibrating lift force for Central Texas temperature swings
Traditional repair companies still rely on handwritten quotes and phone tag. CountBricks eliminates guesswork with a real-time voice interface that turns your conversation into an instant, line-item estimate.
• Speak with our Austin service bot, describe the issue, and receive a spring replacement price in under two minutes
• Materials are pulled from live supplier feeds, so pricing reflects today’s steel costs—not last quarter’s
• Tasks auto-populate into a comprehensive schedule you can approve on your phone

Central Texas humidity and heat accelerate metal fatigue. CountBricks only installs oil-tempered, galvanized torsion springs rated for 25,000 cycles—roughly double the lifespan of economy parts. Thanks to our AI inventory matching, we reserve the correct spring set from local suppliers before the truck even rolls, reducing downtime for homeowners in Zilker, Mueller, and Round Rock alike.
Several variables influence the final invoice, but with CountBricks there are no surprises:
• Door width and panel material
• Number of springs (single vs. dual torsion setup)
• Needed track adjustments or cable replacements
• Rush-hour travel fees inside the Austin metro loop
Every factor is documented on your estimate screen, and you can toggle options—such as upgrading to powder-coated springs—to see pricing update in real time.
Garage door springs are under extreme tension. A slipping wrench can unleash enough force to fracture bone. CountBricks techs arrive with torque arrest devices, dual-rate winding bars, and OSHA-approved eye protection. Homeowners are asked to remain clear of the work zone until the final cycle test.
YouTube tutorials make coil changes look simple, but Austin ER data tells another story. Aside from personal injury, an incorrect spring can:
• Overload your opener motor, shortening its lifespan
• Cause uneven door travel, warping panels and jambs
• Void manufacturer warranties
CountBricks backs every spring with a two-year labor guarantee and provides optional annual maintenance plans at CountBricks.com/services.

When the Johnson family in Cedar Park heard a loud bang one Saturday morning, their garage door jammed half-open, trapping two cars inside. Mrs. Johnson launched the CountBricks app, described the sound, and uploaded a photo of the dangling torsion coil. Within 90 seconds, she received a detailed estimate that included:
• Dual 225-inch, .243-gauge oil-tempered springs
• Cable pair replacement
• Travel time and Austin sales tax
After e-signing, a CountBricks van arrived in 40 minutes. The technician scanned the job QR code, confirming the exact spring set already loaded from our warehouse. Using calibrated winding bars and digital torque gauges, he balanced the new springs to 7.5 turns, tested safety eyes, and ran a 12-cycle performance check. Total project time: 95 minutes door-to-door. The Johnsons paid via Apple Pay and enrolled in a bi-annual tune-up plan.
