This is very true. I know what the spring are supposed to be on a majority of common residential doors. Spring guage and tape measure for confirmation. Custom Doors will get measured by weight and Spring calculator.

I can do that.

It is a classic and they last a long time. But currently everyone wants quiet openers over anything.

@ true compared to the genie today

He had attic access blocked by the old motor, so I asked if he wanted the motor offset to regain attic access.

Hello there!

The cost may vary depending on your location. I can only provide information about my region and the rates I charge.

@GenerationalGarageDoors what do you charge? Guy want to charge me 1000.

@@GenerationalGarageDoors I would do it myself but I'm not sure what size Springs I would need

Please be informed that in the absence of specific details regarding your door type, dimensions, construction materials, and other relevant cost factors, the starting price for double car spring replacements is $349.

A spring gauge is available for measuring the wire size of a spring, while a tape measure is used for determining its length.

I only do local print advertising and word-of-mouth. It's kept me going so far. One day I'll take up Google machine advertising. But I'm also not there yet.

@@GenerationalGarageDoorswas thinking of this but wasn’t sure, any companies you recommend?

I recommend reviewing home improvement magazines distributed in your target region. I personally find "Your Town Monthly" to be a valuable resource, as it offers more cost-effective options compared to others. However, if your budget allows, "HomeMag" is a prominent publication in the home improvement industry. That's the end goal.

Measuring the height from the door wheel to track break to make sure the door is level to track. Helps prevent cable slack and other issues.

It was easy for me.

I'm old school, got a different approach to this sc...way less complex

Yes, I'm no pro video editor or recorder, so some stuff gets missed.

It's the style of bracket needs to come off during the spring replacement.

@@GenerationalGarageDoors I’ve been doing this for 42 years and never had to take off the bracket from the wall

@@bigal4587 I have had to do it many times. Its Just the style of spring plate.

I have lots more tools for specific jobs. This was just my one bag that goes on every job.

@@GenerationalGarageDoors I was guessed that..what I was meaning was that the set up looked very efficient... I have just had to replace the cable on my garage door and it's not something I've ever had to do before. Something that I would imagine would take you maybe a half hour took me a couple of hours. My door doesn't have a torsion spring but rather two extending springs and I initially struggled to get the one with the broken cable extended far enough to get the new cable on...I eventually used a come-along/ ratchet cable puller to get the extension I needed..

Yeah, extension springs aren't all that fun. I always convert them to torsion springs. Safer and more efficient for me and my customers.

It's the most cost effective option I offer.

@ oh I’d prefer the ac belt drive over the dc belt drive

I give everyone the options between them all. Ultimately everyone wants to save money.

@@GenerationalGarageDoors true

I used stud buddy brand stud finder. I'm just using my self leveling laser to make sure my door and track are level.

Offered but customer declined

I'd Put Nylon Rollers On The Door

That's a good idea. I'll do that sometime.

Right on thanks will be looking forward to it 👍

Personally, I am not a tall individual, so this truck has been quite suitable for me. I do not i stall carriage house doors or commercial.. The heaviest item I have used it for is a fully insulated full-view door with double-pane glass. I only added helper springs to the rear, and overall, I have not had any issues.

Everything out the door was about $1300.
