Fair price for Garage door spring and opener replacement in los angeles?
For a job that required removal of the old automatic opener and replacement of 2 extension springs on a single car garage with one piece wooden door on a garage with low clearance that required reframing of the first few support beams in the front for proper operation of the opener and reinforcement of the door at the lift point due to poor/improper improvisation of the previous installment, is a total cost of 5 (including new replacement springs and opener parts @ 5) low/high/reasonable for the entire job?

Indiana here, Maybe the price of living in LA isn’t so bad, sounds like a good price to me.
That sounds reasonable for LA. Springs are about $120 for 2. The framing and labor sounds ok. He is making 85 on springs then his time and misc parts. 4 hours labor Plus picking up extra parts. In St. Louis its 500 just for two spring replacement normally.
Good price for the whole thing.
I’ve seen people pay $300 for the torsion springs replacement alone. These garage door guys are notorious for ripping people off.
The price is high for the springs.
Our garage door spring broke, and it cost about $200 to put in a new spring and to properly tension it. And the spring price had a mark up.
The person who installed had a mark up too, only theirs seems much higher.
Try googling to see how much a fair price is for the springs. Then if it is much lower you may be able to negotiate a fairer mark up, or find someone elese who will not gouge you so bad.
