What This Service Costs
Final cost is provided in writing after a free on-site inspection. Actual pricing depends on door size, spring type, opener model, parts needed, and site access — so we don't publish flat rates online. We confirm scope, explain options, and get your approval before any work begins.

Extension springs are dangerous when they snap — they can fly across the garage at high speed. We always install or replace safety cables as part of every extension spring job, even if they weren't there before. It's a small cost for a major safety upgrade.
