For most homeowners, the moment a garage door spring snaps feels like an open invitation to surprise billing. One Boise company is trying to change that by putting its prices front and center — before the technician even walks through the door.
Right now, the Boise company charges nothing if no work is done; when work is done, its $49.95 service call fee is waived on repairs over $200.

BOISE, ID, UNITED STATES, November 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Garage Door Repair Boise, a locally owned garage door company, has taken the unusual step of publishing a firm price range — $190 to $299.95 — for spring replacement. Instead of handing customers a vague estimate over the phone, the company gives each homeowner the exact cost in person, standing in the garage, before any work begins.
The final price, the company explains, depends on what the technician finds on site: the type of spring, the door’s weight, the condition of the track and the opener. Customers are told the cost upfront. As a current introductory policy, there is no charge at all if the homeowner decides not to proceed. When work does go ahead, the standard $49.95 service call fee applies, but it is waived entirely on repairs totaling more than $200.
A broken spring can trap a car inside the garage at the worst possible time. When a customer calls Garage Door Repair Boise, a real person answers the line, not an automated system. The business prioritizes same-day repairs and only pushes a job to the next day if that day’s schedule is completely full. For customers facing a dire emergency, the company makes special arrangements to get them service.
The business is owned by Andrew “Drew” Lobey, who has personally worked on thousands of garage doors over more than 15 years as a technician. Garage Door Repair Boise has been operating for one year and has served over 50 customers. It is veteran-owned and licensed, holds RCE# 8081607 (Idaho), and carries general liability insurance as well as company vehicle insurance.
Beyond Boise, the company works on a regular schedule in Meridian, Nampa, Eagle, Caldwell, Kuna, Star and Garden City. Homeowners can reach the company at (208) 576-2500.
“Every door is a little different. The spring type, the door’s weight, the track and the opener all play into it. So we look at it together right there in the garage, and you get the exact price before any work starts. Right now, if you decide not to go ahead, you don’t pay anything,” said Andrew Lobey, owner of Garage Door Repair Boise.
“We put our spring replacement range of $190 to $299.95 out there so folks know what to expect when they call to book a visit. And on repairs over $200, we waive the service call fee,” Lobey said.
