Whoa! Since labor is listed separately, I'd say that these materials have some significant markup. A really nice belt drive opener can be had for $250, not $350. Tension springs are more like $50, not $125 (unless they are some super strength heavy-duty ones, but then you wouldn't need double... frankly, if you have a standard door, you probably didn't need double in the first place!). Rollers are probably around $5 each. Bearings vary by type, but are usually under $10. Disposal fee? Could have just had Folsom City pick it up for you!

Same thing happened to me with Value Max Garage Door in Folsom. I had backed out of the garage before the door was totally up (DOH!) and knocked one side off the tracked and bent the bottom of the door. Door, of course, was inoperable... so an emergency. These guys came out and said it was a big job and would cost $510. Lots of reinforcement, blah, blah. It literally took them 1/2 hour to complete. I felt totally ripped off. So I emailed the guy recommended in one of these threads (not the one you went to) and asked him what he would have charged...and he confirmed my suspicions. Ripped off! Soooo... you're not alone
