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.

The cheapest cables on the market are stainless-coated mild steel. They look fine for the first year but rust and fail in 5–7 years. We use galvanized steel with sealed-end fittings — costs slightly more but lasts the full life of your springs.
