Spring replacement estimate example
A repair call with a known price. The estimate is short, and the line about cables and rollers is what sells the next job.
"replace 2 torsion springs 16x7 door, new center bearing, lube and balance, check cables and rollers, same day"
Example figures for a typical spring replacement job. Not a quote. Every line on the estimate came from the notes above. Nothing was added.
What to spell out on a spring replacement bid
- Both springs, not one. Say why: the other is the same age.
- What is inspected and that worn cables or rollers are quoted on the spot.
- Spring cycle rating, if you offer a high-cycle option.
- Same-day timeline.
Springs are the thing that fails next on a reused system. Say whether new springs are in the price so a failure in month three is not a warranty argument.
The parts of this estimate
- Scope of work. 4 lines, one thing each, in the order the work happens. What is not included is on the list too.
- One price. $345. Not a formula, not a range. The scope explains the number.
- Timeline. Same day, about an hour. Including dry time, cure time, or permit time, so the customer plans around it.
- Payment terms. Due on completion. Nothing down. The customer pays when the work is done.
- Warranty. 2 years on springs and labor.
- A way to accept. The customer types their name and signs with a finger on their phone. Legally binding under the E-SIGN Act, and recorded with the date, time, and the exact estimate they agreed to.
