Is $200 a decent price to have a spring above my garage door replaced. Thank you, Jawja

I would say yes. Seems like it is $100 just to get anyone to your house for anything these days.

Yes
Posted on 6/9/15 at 4:57 pm to Jawja_Joe
Absolutely

I recall paying about $185 2 years ago in Asheville. $200 sounds reasonable.

If you have 2 springs, change both of them. It might be 50 bucks more.

I paid about $100 to have one of the springs replaced just a couple of years ago.

that sounds like a reasonable price to me, as $75 - $100 of that will be the service fee to show up on site...
I tried to tighten mine up myself a while back and was just scared shitless the whole time I was messing with it...I wouldn't recommend that at all...

do NOT mess with that spring until someone shows you how to do it properly, it will frick you up

If the spring isn't broken, it just needs the tension increased, which is a 2 man job and you'll need a properly sized pry bar and allen wrenches.

that will get you hurt, one man job, a set of winding bars(4' x 5/16" bar from HD cut in half,) and a 1/2", 12 point socket and ratchet, wouldn't try it unless someone showed you how, not hard but there's a lot of energy on that spring and if you don't use the proper technique it will frick you up,if you think about it, air to air missiles are a set of expanding rods, and if that spring unloads on you it will be a scaled down version of that
