Repairs keep adding up
If you've had springs, panels and rollers replaced in the last few years, putting that money into a new door often makes more sense.

New Garage Door Installation in Ottawa
A new garage door is one of the most visible upgrades you can make to your home. We help Ottawa homeowners choose the right style, colour and insulation level, measure the opening properly, remove the old door, and install the new one with new tracks, springs and hardware, usually in a single day.
Doors We Install
Quality Doors for Ottawa Homes
We install residential sectional doors from established Canadian and North American manufacturers, including Richards-Wilcox and Toho. That means real product warranties and parts that are easy to get years from now.
Most Ottawa homeowners choose an insulated steel door. A properly insulated door with good weather seals keeps an attached garage noticeably warmer in January, protects the room above the garage, and cuts down on street noise. We'll explain the R-value options in plain terms so you can pick what makes sense for your garage.
Styles range from traditional raised-panel and carriage-house designs for older neighbourhoods to flush, modern and aluminum full-view glass doors for new builds in Kanata, Barrhaven and Findlay Creek.
What to Look For
When It's Time for a New Garage Door
Dented, cracked or rusted panels
Damaged sections weaken the door, let in drafts and water, and often can't be matched on older doors.
A cold, drafty garage
Older uninsulated doors let heat escape from attached garages and the rooms above them.
A noisy, heavy door
Older wood and single-layer steel doors are heavy and loud, and they're hard on springs and openers.
Selling your home
A new garage door is one of the few home upgrades that consistently improves curb appeal and first impressions.
Safety concerns
Older doors can lack modern pinch-resistant panels and proper safety cables.

Good to Know
Choosing the Right Door for Your Ottawa Home
Start with your home's architecture. Century homes in The Glebe and Westboro usually look best with carriage-house or classic raised-panel designs, while newer homes in Kanata, Riverside South and Barrhaven often suit flush or modern ribbed panels with a row of windows.
Think about how you use the garage. If it's attached, heated, used as a workshop, or has a bedroom above it, an insulated door with a higher R-value and good bottom and perimeter seals is worth it. For a detached garage used only for storage, a lighter door may be all you need.
Colour and windows make a big difference. Our door guide walks through styles and materials, and we're happy to bring samples to your home.

FAQ
New Door Installation Questions from Ottawa Homeowners
Call (613) 884-1488. We answer 7 days a week, 7am–8pm.
How long does a new garage door installation take?
Most standard residential installations, including removing the old door, are finished in one day. Custom sizes or special-order doors take longer to arrive, but the installation itself is usually still a single visit.
Do you remove and dispose of my old garage door?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door, tracks and springs is part of our installation service.
What garage door brands do you install?
We install doors from Richards-Wilcox and Toho, among others, covering insulated steel, carriage-style, modern flush and aluminum full-view glass designs.
Should I get an insulated garage door in Ottawa?
For attached or heated garages, or garages with a room above, yes. An insulated door with good weather seals keeps the space warmer, protects the house, and makes the door quieter and more rigid. We'll help you choose the right insulation level for how you use the garage.
How much does a new garage door cost?
It depends on size, style, insulation, windows and hardware. We measure your opening and give you a free, detailed written quote with several options so you can compare.
Can I keep my existing garage door opener?
Often, yes, if it's in good condition and suitable for the new door's weight. We'll test it and tell you honestly whether it's worth keeping or due for replacement.
