Where Rosenberg cables actually wear
Where the cable meets the bottom bracket: the most-flexed, most-dampened inches of the run. half the homes in Rosenberg were standing by 1994, so first-generation cables on that stock lead the failure queue.
Cables go on in pairs; the second has the same mileage as the one that failed. And a cable found off its drum is evidence, not the crime — something in the drum, tension or track put it there, and fixing only the cable books the same call again.

How much does garage door cable repair cost in Rosenberg?
Plan $140 to $260 in Rosenberg, TX, pair and labor. The steel is trivially cheap — the invoice is the tension work around it.
Is garage door cable replacement a DIY job?
No — the cables terminate at brackets held by full spring tension, which is the same stored energy that makes spring work dangerous. The $15–40 part is not worth it. The safe DIY contribution in Rosenberg is the annual gloved fray-check.
