One of the two springs on my garage door broke. Got a quote today…
Is $1,000 really the going rate to replace both springs and install new cables (one of the two snapped when the spring broke)?
Bidenomics at work!!

$450 for my replacement a few months back. That sounds steep.

Did you replace both springs? Cables?

Is that one spring or two?

Yeah, he claims that replacing only one of the two isn’t smart…

Springs have a life cycle. They are rated for a finite number of open/closes

I was quoted $700 for that in 2020 or $1100 for a new insulated door

That's about what I paid a few months ago for 2 springs, rollers, and cables.

Yikes. It’s really not that hard if you are careful. I did my own for under $200
