How to read the quantities
One opener allowance × $420 = $420, and one installation line × $390 = $390. Together they are $810 before rail materials, setup and removal.
What the example includes—and leaves out
This scope assumes a suitable existing door and track. A heavy or damaged door can require its own repair before a new opener is installed.
Outside this scope: No garage door repair, spring or track replacement, new electrical outlet, network support or unlisted accessory purchase.
Keep unresolved selections and site conditions visible. If a measurement, material choice or repair requirement changes, revise the relevant quantity or allowance and share the updated estimate before proceeding with the added work.
