We would strongly advise against it. A torsion spring holds hundreds of pounds of stored energy and the winding bars will take your hand off if the spring slips. This is the one job on a garage door that is genuinely dangerous.
Yes. The pair wears at the same rate, so the second is usually close behind. Replacing both keeps the door balanced and saves you a second call-out in a few months.
A standard spring is rated for around 10,000 cycles, which is roughly seven to ten years on an average Morningside home. If your garage door is the main way into the house, expect the lower end of that.
It depends on what broke. A tune-up is the cheapest visit we sell, spring and cable work sits in the middle, and opener or panel replacement is higher. You get one flat written price for your specific door before any work starts.
