Highlift and jack drive conversion

[Woodlewi]

I was just quoted 2300-2600 to do a highlift conversion on 2 doors and for two Liftmaster 3800s installed. Its only going up 2.5'. Wow, that seems high, am I missing something?

It seem high to me. I'd do it for $1600-1800. But not knowing where you live it may cost too much for travel expenses.

I think I paid around $1300 to have 2 doors highlifted ~4 feet and 3800s installed. I purchased the 3800s separately. After watching these guys do the work, I am MORE THAN HAPPY I paid them...

PS, I got all new track, drums, springs, cable, rollers, etc. The only thing that stayed the same was the garage door panels and hinges.

I think around $1500 - $1600 is a fair price
