Default Garage door spring replacement in Calgary?

Arrived home to discover my garage door only opening a few feet. Looked and saw one of the springs broke. Awesome sauce!

Any suggestions on a reputable company here in Calgary and a rough estimate to have both springs replaced by the pro's?

I'm sure many have tackled this by themselves, but this isn't a job I'm interested in trying lol

Call Calvin @ overhead door, I can pm you his number.
Think your looking at about $300-350

I used Glenmore doors before. They were really good - great work and was a lot cheaper than I feared at the time. No idea on the cost for just replacing the springs though.

Just don't loosen your grip on whatever you're winding the spring with. Great way to break an arm or wrist or get knocked flying off your ladder.

That works out to about 500./hour, after parts. One of my clients had one done. 165.

Was referred to Done Rite Doors from several other members on another forum. Super polite and professional guy (Lonny). Was very quick, and only charged me $200. For that price to have a professional install it, seems like a no brainer!

Also had Done Rite Doors come work on my door a month or so ago. Did a great job and didn't cost too much at all. Would definitely use again!
