Cable Replacement for Burnet Homeowners
A snapped or frayed garage door cable makes the door hang crooked, jam halfway, or slam shut on one side — and the remaining cable is carrying double load under extreme tension. In Burnet, Burnet proper has older single and double-car garage configurations; Inks Lake and Buchanan Lake area properties tend to have standard 2-car attached doors from the 1990s–2000s build era. Established small-town community with a mix of 1960s–1980s downtown properties and 1990s–2000s lake-area residential means cable age varies across neighborhoods, but fraying near the bottom bracket is the most consistent failure point regardless of installation date.

We reach every Burnet neighborhood, including Burnet proper, Shady Grove, Inks Lake area, Buchanan Lake vicinity — 55 min northwest of Austin.
Burnet is at the outer edge of our service area, and we know that means same-day service matters more here — there are very few alternatives.

Cable replacement in Burnet typically runs $100–$200 for both cables, including drum and pulley inspection. We always quote before starting work.
Why did my garage door cable snap?
Cables wear from age, rust, and friction — especially in Central Texas humidity swings. A fraying cable near the bottom bracket is the most common failure point. Springs at end-of-life also overload cables. In Burnet, with Burnet proper has older single and double-car garage configurations; Inks Lake and Buchanan Lake area properties tend to have standard 2-car attached doors from the 1990s–2000s build era, cables from the original installation are often at the age where routine inspection is worthwhile.
Can I use my garage door with one broken cable?
No. The door will lift unevenly, can jam in the tracks, or come down hard on one side. The remaining cable is under double tension and can snap too. Wait for a technician — we get to Burnet fast, serving Burnet proper, Shady Grove, Inks Lake area and all surrounding areas.
Do you replace both cables or just the broken one?
Always both. They were installed together and have the same wear. Replacing just one means the old cable fails soon after — usually within months.
