Garage door spring repair in Vancouver.
Your local tech, ~12 minutes away.
Kitsilano to Renfrew, Shaughnessy to East Van. The tech who rolls to your door lives in this city — not in a downtown dispatch chair.
Lives here. Drives here. Knows what 1910 Craftsman tracks look like.
Vancouver is the easy one — and the trickiest one. Easy because we're never more than 12 minutes from your driveway. Tricky because the housing stock spans 110 years: 1910s Craftsman bungalows in East Van and Kits with original detached rear garages, 1950s Vancouver Specials on Knight, post-2010 luxury rebuilds in Shaughnessy and Point Grey running custom carriage doors, and the laneway-house garages everywhere in between.
Each of those has a different spring spec. Your Vancouver tech has the truck stocked for all of them — 1¾", 2", and 2⅝" inside diameters, .207 through .250 wire gauges, oil-tempered standard and 25,000-cycle high-cycle. If the spring's residential, we have it on board.
Where it matters: Kits and Point Grey waterfront homes deal with salt mist that seizes rollers and corrodes cables. Heritage carriage-style doors in Shaughnessy need careful handling — the tracks are often original. Laneway garages off the alleys are tight, single-spring builds with 1¾" springs almost universally.
If you're in any of these, we're 12 minutes out.

The ones we get from this side of the bridge.
I have a heritage home in Shaughnessy with a custom carriage door. Can you still service it?
Yes. Carriage-style doors use the same torsion-spring counterweight system underneath the decorative panels. We service them all the time — and we know not to scratch the cedar.
My laneway house has a tight single-car garage. Will you have room to work?
Yes. Vancouver laneway garages are almost always 8-wide single-car with 1¾" ID springs. We carry the spec on the truck and we're used to working in a tight box.
Do you handle East Van's older alley-access garages from the 1920s?
Yes, these are the originals — usually one extension spring per side with safety cables, or a single torsion conversion done in the 1980s. Both are bread-and-butter for us.
Kits waterfront — my cables look rusty. Is that the spring or the cables?
That's the cables. Salt mist eats them faster than springs. If we're already there for a spring job, cables are included free in the two-spring tier. Don't wait until one snaps and the door drops.
