More about this in Pecan Grove
A broken garage door spring is never a patch job — it's a matched replacement, full stop. That's the fix behind a door that's turned to dead weight or an opener that strains and clicks without lifting it. For the rest of the story on Pecan Grove garage door company, the town page has it.

How to tell it's the spring
Most people hear it first — a loud bang from the garage that gets mistaken for something falling or a car backfiring outside. Look at the coil above the door afterward and a broken torsion spring shows a clean gap where it split.
After that, the door gets heavy fast. Lift it by hand and it feels like dead weight instead of swinging up on its own. The opener will often still run — motor going, chain moving — but the door only creeps and stalls, since the opener was never built to lift the full weight by itself.
Why the age of the spring matters here
A standard torsion spring is rated for roughly 10,000 cycles, about seven to twelve years of normal use. Homes with original 1978-era construction have been through several full replacement cycles by now; homes from Pecan Grove's more recent growth wave may still be on their first or second set.

Why this isn't a do-it-yourself fix
A torsion spring holds several hundred pounds of tension while doing nothing. Releasing that tension wrong, or working next to a spring that's already partially failed, is how people get hurt. It gets handled with the door secured and the correct winding bars.
Why Pecan Grove sees a wide range of spring ages
Pecan Grove's original construction dates to 1978, making the oldest housing stock in the community nearly 48 years old — several full spring-replacement cycles beyond a standard set's service life. But the community's fastest population growth actually came far more recently, a 42.7% jump between 2010 and 2020, meaning a meaningful share of Pecan Grove's houses are running on much newer hardware installed during that later wave.
That split matters for anyone calling about a broken spring here: it's either an original or long-overdue set on one of the community's founding-era homes, or a newer spring on a more recent build that failed early — sometimes from the higher water table near the Brazos affecting the garage's slab and, over time, the alignment the spring has to work against. That is the usual story behind a broken garage door spring in Pecan Grove.
