Anyone have any recommendations to replace a garage door spring in Flower Mound that works on Saturday?

Try Terry Davis, I can recommend him, no relation. He came to liquor city to fix mine a few years back. Great service AND he is a TFF'er.

Just had 2 replaced today. Texas overhead did them, NickyByrd's recommendation. About $250 with the knowing Nicky surcharge Here is the one that broke. The one on the left

Appreciate the feedback I already have someone else coming after lunch that would at least quote a price range on the phone. Talked to another one I am very glad I did not contract after reading their reviews.

The one person you don't want to call is yourself. Very dangerous if you don't have the knowledge or the right tools.

Actually Texas Overhead Door in Grapevine is who is coming out later today.

Go ahead and replace both of them if they are the same age or you will likely be calling them back out soon. I can't believe they are that expensive to replace now. You can purchase a set of springs for less than $100. It looks like they are charging $150 to $200 to remove and install the pair. OUCH!

I used Overhead Door and replaced both of them when the guy came out.
Great Job.

Glad I live in the "sticks"', Bubba's Overhead Doors just replaced both of mine for less that $200. And yes, that is the name of the business and if you live anywhere near Longview, I recommend them....
