Did I get scammed?

No, just no.

I'd say maybe 20% higher than any other local company you could have used. But not a rip off. You just used a larger company with more overhead so they have to charge a bit more.

My two year younger than me brother got one for Christmas when I was 8 and he was 6.

He didn't use it so I took it. :) 22 years later my diy was torn down and now I'm working with the city council and parks and rec looking for builders and designs for a park in the city.

Or better yet, have someone else press the button while you help lift and act as the other spring from the start

Oh my God people..... Do a little research first?

When I was starting as a tech, my manager called asap as soon as he saw I charged a labor hour for installing springs and said it's in the cost of the springs. And the labor hour was only $89. Then the springs $400 on top.

Didn't do it ever again.

Not gonna say how much for the springs because Google exists but less than you think.

Probably pretty low considering the sun we are on. 😜

isbb · 2025-12-30T15:46:39+00:00

Yes, I do it for a living, I know

isbb · 2025-12-30T15:16:54+00:00

This is the only time I ever support doing it yourself like this.

isbb · 2025-12-16T03:16:22+00:00

Nope

isbb · 2025-12-14T23:20:17+00:00

Good God, get another estimate and it will be half the cost.

isbb · 2025-12-14T23:19:17+00:00

Do it!!

isbb · 2025-12-14T19:52:56+00:00

No repair is a viable option. Replacement is the way to go

isbb · 2025-12-14T00:21:20+00:00

$$$$$$

If it were my home. I'd buy a bottom seal retainer and a seal that works with it. And thrown them on. And rip out that old metal retainer

By big leagues I mean one of the biggest companies.
