If your garage door is broken in Ellerslie, call 780-908-0907. We repair springs, cables, rollers, tracks, sensors and openers on homes in Ellerslie and Wernerville, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We come to you from our shop on Chappelle Rd. SW in Edmonton. A service call and diagnosis typically costs $90 to $130 plus GST, and you approve the written price before we start.
A broken spring or cable can drop the door without warning. If you heard a loud bang, the door will not lift or a cable is hanging loose, stop using the door. Do not pull on it, do not use the red release handle with the door open and do not try to fix it yourself. Keep people, pets and vehicles clear and call us.
What Goes Wrong With Garage Doors in Ellerslie
The City says Ellerslie was planned in the early 2000s and that building went quickly, so the residential area is now considered complete. In the 2005 municipal census, about 66 percent of homes were single-family, 20 percent row houses, 12 percent apartment-style condos and 2 percent duplexes. Most garage doors here are 20 to 25 years old and were installed around the same time. These are the problems we see most:
- Springs that have worn out or been replaced once already. See spring replacement.
- Cables, rollers and hinges that are the same age as the spring. See cable replacement and roller replacement.
- Tracks that have worked loose. See track repair.
- Openers with remotes, keypads or boards that act up. See opener repair and installation.
- Safety sensors out of line. See sensor repair.
Our general garage door repair service covers the rest.
How to Read a Garage Door Repair Quote
A good quote is easy to understand and complete. Before you say yes to any garage door repair, ask for these seven things in writing:
- The problem found. For example, “broken torsion spring” or “frayed cable”.
- The parts to be replaced, named, with the number of each. A spring repair should say both springs.
- The spring rating, as the number of cycles, if a spring is being replaced.
- The labour and the service call, shown separately or clearly included.
- Whether GST is included. Our prices are quoted plus GST.
- Anything else we noticed that is worn but not part of this price.
- The total, approved by you before the work starts.
This helps you compare quotes and avoid surprises. It also shows what is urgent and what can wait. We give you a written price before we start, and we tell you what we find. See general garage door repair service.
When the Springs, Cables and Rollers Are All the Same Age
In a community built within a short time, the springs, cables and rollers on a door are often the same age. When one fails, the others may be near the end of their life as well. This table shows the usual prices if you replace them together or one at a time:
| Part | Typical price, plus GST |
|---|---|
| Spring pair | $280 to $450 |
| Cable pair | $180 to $320 |
| Roller set | $150 to $260 |
| Service call and diagnosis | $90 to $130 |
You do not have to replace everything at once. We check the parts, tell you what is worn and what can wait, and you decide. Replacing worn parts together can save you a second visit and a second service call. A standard spring is rated for about 10,000 cycles, which is about 9 years at three cycles a day. See spring replacement.
Acreage and Shop Doors in Wernerville
Wernerville is the country-residential part of Ellerslie on the east side. The City says lots there are about one hectare. If you have a large door, a detached shop or a long driveway, a few extra things matter:
- Door weight. A large or heavy door needs springs that match its weight.
- Opener size. The opener must be strong enough to lift the door.
- Remote range. A long driveway or a detached building can weaken the signal.
- Power and wiring. A detached building may have its own wiring that affects the opener.
Send us a photo of the door, the size of the opening and the opener model if you know it. We tell you what we can do before we come out. See opener repair and installation and commercial overhead door service.
Townhouses and Condos in Ellerslie
About one in three Ellerslie homes is a row house or an apartment-style condo. If your garage door belongs to a unit in a complex, check who pays for repairs. Some boards cover the door and some leave it to the owner. We give you a written price, and if a board needs a quote for approval, we can provide one.

Getting to Ellerslie

Garage Door Repair in Ellerslie FAQs
How much does garage door repair cost in Ellerslie?
A service call and diagnosis typically costs $90 to $130 plus GST. A spring pair typically costs $280 to $450, a cable pair $180 to $320 and a roller set $150 to $260. We confirm the exact price in writing before we start.
Do you charge extra to come to Ellerslie?
We tell you the full price, including any travel or after-hours charge, before we start, and you approve it first. Call us with your address and we will confirm the price for your visit.
What should a garage door repair quote include?
It should name the problem, list the parts to be replaced and how many of each, show the spring rating, show the labour and service call, say whether GST is included, note anything else that is worn, and give the total. You should approve it before work starts.
If one part breaks, should I replace the others?
You do not have to. In a community built around the same time, the springs, cables and rollers are often the same age, so the others may be close behind. We check the parts, tell you what is worn and what can wait, and you decide.
Do you service acreage and shop doors in Wernerville?
We can look at a large or detached door. Send a photo, the size of the opening and the opener model if you know it. Door weight, opener size, remote range and wiring all matter, and we tell you what we can do before we come out.
How old are the garage doors in Ellerslie?
The City says Ellerslie was planned in the early 2000s and built quickly, so most doors are 20 to 25 years old. A standard spring is rated for about 10,000 cycles, so many have had a spring replaced already.
Do I need to replace both springs if one breaks?
Yes, we recommend it. Both springs have been through the same number of cycles, so if one has broken, the other is usually close behind. Replacing both also keeps the door balanced.
Should I try to fix a broken spring myself?
No. Springs and cables are under extreme tension and can cause serious injury. If you heard a bang, the door will not lift or a cable is loose, stop using the door and call us.
