Broken Garage Door Spring: What's Happening to Your De Soto Home
A broken garage door spring is one of the most common emergency calls - you'll know it happened because of a loud bang and the door becoming impossibly heavy.
Common causes for broken spring emergency repair in De Soto: metal fatigue after 7-10 years (10,000 cycles), cold weather brittleness, manufacturing defects, rust from humidity, impact damage to spring assembly.
What to do first: do not operate the door, do not try to manually lift it, take photos of the broken spring for our reference, park your car outside if it's still in the garage.
⚠️ Important safety note: a broken spring means the door is now 200+ pounds of dead weight - the opener motor will burn out trying to lift it, costing $400+ on top of the spring replacement.

Common Questions From Kansas City Metro Homeowners
How quickly can you arrive for service?
During business hours we typically dispatch a technician for same-day service across all of Kansas City Metro. ASAP emergency calls including broken springs blocking your car or doors stuck open get prioritized and usually arrive within 1-2 hours. Standard appointments can be scheduled in morning, midday, afternoon, or evening windows depending on your preference. After-hours emergency service is available 24/7 with a 25-50 percent surcharge over standard rates.
Do you charge a service fee just to come out for an estimate?
No. Our estimates are 100 percent free across our entire service area. The technician comes out, inspects the door, gives you a written quote. If you do not approve the work, we leave at no charge. You only pay if you approve the work. Many competitors charge a service fee or trip charge - we do not. We believe a free estimate is the right thing to do because it lets you make an informed decision without pressure.
What kind of warranty do you offer?
All repairs come with written warranties typically 5 years on parts and 1 year on labor for repairs. New door installations carry a 10-year manufacturer warranty plus our 1-year installation warranty. We email you the warranty details after every job. If anything goes wrong within the warranty period, call us and we come back at no charge. We document warranty terms clearly so there is no confusion later. Warranty is valid for the original customer at the original service address.
What payment methods do you accept?
All major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover. Debit cards. Cash. Personal checks. Zelle. ACH transfers. We do not require any payment until work is complete and you have inspected the result. Payment is collected on-site after job completion. For installations ,000+, qualifying customers can apply for 0 percent APR financing with payments as low as 9 per month. Application takes 2 minutes and approval is typically instant.
Are your technicians employees or subcontractors?
Every technician on our trucks is a full-time OnPoint employee, paid hourly, not a subcontractor paid on commission. This matters because subcontractors race through jobs to maximize their commission, often cutting corners. Our employees take time to do the job right because they are paid for time and judged on quality. They go through ongoing training on the latest opener systems, smart home integrations, and door styles. They show up in marked trucks wearing OnPoint uniforms with photo ID.
Do you handle commercial and residential work?
Both. We service residential single-family homes, condos and townhomes with attached garages, and multi-unit residential properties. We also service commercial overhead doors, loading docks, rolling steel doors, security shutters, and commercial openers throughout the Kansas City Metro. We offer service contracts for property managers and businesses with multiple doors. Commercial service typically requires specialized parts and additional safety procedures - we have the certifications and equipment for both.
