My father always told me to ask the price beforehand. But of course we aren't as smart as our fathers. FYI you can always get an idea of what the price should be by looking for what the parts cost and multiplying by 3 for the whole job, or if you look right now on Google for garage door springs they'll run for tension springs about 80 to $150. Then if you figure what the labor is which could be 80 to 150 you would know that the telephone should be approximately $300 to $400. 3 years ago I had my garage springs replaced by a handyman $250. Tension springs replacement is something I would not handle myself as the potential to damage yourself is high but a regular pull spring I would do myself. If you use common sense and simply ask someone how long will the job take you should know what you should be paying, and I always tell people no I do not live in The villages if they're asking me in response to a price quote
