Garage door cables fail for one of three reasons in Tomball, TX: frayed strands from age and humidity (most common in Treeline and Treeline, Willow Creek Farms, Inverness Estates), one cable jumped off the drum after a spring imbalance, or a snapped cable from a sudden over-extension. Lemus replaces cables on the truck — both sides at once for safety, with re-tensioned drums and a balance check before we leave. Most Tomball cable jobs finish in 60 minutes. We carry the standard Tomball, TX-spec cable sizes (1/8-inch and 3/16-inch, looped and ball-end) so we don't need a parts run. Service call $49 (credited), labor 90-day warranty. Coverage: Treeline, Willow Creek Farms, Inverness Estates and out to Spring. Call (281) 906-4783.

When one lift cable slips off its drum or snaps, that side of the door drops and the door hangs at an angle. A crooked Tomball garage door is unsafe to operate and should be inspected promptly.
Look at the cables running down each side of the door. Fraying, kinks, or a fully snapped cable means it's failing. Gulf Coast humidity around Tomball rusts cables from the inside out.
A cable that's come off its drum binds the door so it won't lift, jams partway, or moves unevenly. Forcing it risks pulling the door off-track.
Loose cable coiling up at the bottom means it has lost tension or jumped the drum. The door's weight is no longer properly supported.
Same-day service available. Free estimates, upfront pricing, licensed & insured.
(281) 906-4783Our Tomball technician secures the door, then inspects both cables, the drums, and the springs — cable failures and spring problems often go together.
We replace cables in matched pairs with the correct gauge for your door's weight, and reseat them properly on the drums.
Drums and bearings are checked and the spring tension is verified so the new cables aren't immediately stressed.
We balance and test the door by hand, confirm even travel, and lubricate the moving parts.
Cable replacement in Tomball typically runs $100-$150 for a matched pair, which is the standard repair.
If a snapped cable was caused by a broken spring — a common pairing — spring replacement ($150-$250) is usually done at the same visit.
Drum or bearing replacement, if needed, is quoted upfront after inspection.

Most cables fail from age (frayed strands), spring imbalance pulling extra load to one side, or a sudden over-extension when the door hit something. Lemus inspects all three causes during repair so the new cable doesn't fail for the same reason.
