Apologies to those who are well aware of this (and perhaps @DangeloInspections has more detailed information to add), but just a friendly heads-up that it's probably best on older homes to inspect the spring every so often. It never occurred to me at all.
Nobody wants the door falling on their car as they drive in or out!

One of the springs broke on our garage door about two weeks ago, and our home was also built in 2004.
I’m curious as to what you would look for when inspecting the springs?
I would guess the metal fatigues in time with repeated stress, and the metal eventually snaps at the weakest point.
Highly recommend Ryan O’Cull for replacement and door service. 352-617-0522
