Edit for clarification : door itself is fine, spring is fine, motor is new. Its just the cables that would apparently need replacing every 6-10 months at $250 a time.
Hi all,
We have a standard 2 car sectional garage door that came with the house, probably about 20 years old. We just had someone in for service who said that the garage door cables on the side are starting to fray and need replacement. However, the standards of the cables these days would only last about 6-10 months maybe, and it costs about $250ish to replace each time.
I was a bit dubious about this so we called another top rated garage door guy and he confirmed the same thing. Does that mean we have to look at getting the whole door replaced or is it just a system thing we can change and have the same door/motor? Just wanted to get all the info out before we talk further so we dont get suckered into something we dont need.
What are the approximate costs for a 2 car garage door these days? I know quotes depend on exact size but just looking for approx how many thousand (1k or 5k) as we've never built before so have 0 clue.
Thanks in advance
Funny how B&D can offer stainless braided cables with 8-10 year warranty but garage door repairers cannot get them?
Guess it guarantees them a job offering substandard parts.
I had one installed ~18 months ago for $6800. B+D panel lift with 2 extra remotes (so 5 in total).
