    Default Who does your high lift garage door conversions?

    Just seeing if anyone has a garage door Guy/Gal that does high lift conversions. @AndyL did an awesome job on my last door, but I think he retired from the door biz.

    Don't know anyone but just wondering what the cost is and why you would choose to do such a conversion...

    He did my sidemount on NYE, when my old roof-mount snapped the chain track off the wall. Fantastic guy, sticks to his (very accurate) quotes, and generally just a solid dude. Told me 3 years ago it would "probably cost" $800 for the high lift conversion. Came back, ended up costing $750 all in?

    I felt awful he did it all in the cold, but kept turning down all my offers of drinks/coffee/etc. I can't help but recommend him to anyone/everyone.

    I didn't really track it, as, while I was WFH, I was busy... actually working. I think he came by around 9-10 and was done between 12-2? So let's say 2-5 hours?

    what's the average cost for a conversion?
    trying is the first step towards failure
