A dented or cracked section rarely means a whole new door. If a matching panel is available for your model, we fit it, align the hinges and rollers, and blend it in. When it is not, we explain what the alternatives look like.

Noise is usually the first complaint and the easiest to trace. Steel rollers rumbling, hinges squeaking, a chain slapping the rail, panels rattling against loose hardware. We go through the door from top to bottom, tighten and lubricate what needs it, and replace the rollers or hinges that have simply worn out. Most doors go quiet again.
A garage door belongs to the architecture. Its movement belongs to your everyday life. We bring both into the conversation.

Garage door services
From a sagging wood door on an older home to a glass-panelled door on a new build, we work with the door you have. The services are grouped so you can find repairs, hardware, access controls and installations without hunting.
Garage Door Safety InspectionYour toddler has discovered the wall button.
Garage Door Tune-UpOn windy nights the door rattles in its frame, there is a line of daylight along one side, and the bottom seal has gone hard and flat.
Off-Track Garage Door ResetOne side of the door hangs a hand's width lower than the other.
Garage Door Panel ReplacementThe top section has developed a bend where the opener arm pulls on it.
Garage Door Bottom Seal ReplacementOne end of the bottom seal has slipped out of its channel and hangs down like a loose shoelace.
Garage Door Perimeter WeatherstripEvery time the door closes there is a rubbing squeal along one side, and the flexible fin has folded under itself and torn.
Garage Door Manual Lock RepairSomeone slid the inside lock across before bed, and in the morning someone else pressed the remote.
For a few days there was a grinding sound whenever the door started moving. Now the motor spins freely and the door stays exactly where it is. On the hood of the car there is a scatter of white plastic shavings that fell from the unit above.
Garage Door Opener Diagnosis and RepairAfter pulling the red release cord, you tried lifting the door yourself and it would barely leave the floor. A door that used to glide up with one hand now takes real effort, which points to the counterbalance rather than the opener.
Torsion Spring ReplacementA delivery van backed into the shop's overhead door this afternoon. The lower panel is pushed in, the track on that side is kinked, and the door is hanging unevenly with staff unable to close up for the night.
Off-Track Garage Door ResetSprings
Garage doors with extension springs need pulleys and safety cables in good condition. Worn pulleys chew through cables, and missing safety cables are a hazard. We renew these parts alongside the springs whenever we work on that style of door.
One side of the door sits higher than the other in the tracks, and a lift cable is hanging slack or has jumped off its drum.
Your older door has springs along the tracks, and one cable has slipped off its pulley and dangles slack.
One of the little wheels along the edge of the door has a chunk missing, another sits crooked in its hinge, and there is a fine grey dust on the floor under the track where plastic has been wearing away.
On bright mornings the door will not close, then by lunchtime it behaves itself.
New Doors
When the old door comes down, everything that carried it goes with it: the tracks, the springs, the cables and the rollers. A new door on old hardware is a compromise, and we do not install that way.
Openers
You press the remote from the driveway and hear the motor hum overhead, a steady drone with no movement behind it. The door stays shut.
The chain hangs in a loop under the rail and slaps against it on every cycle. It used to sit snug.
The door used to glide up with a soft hum. Now there is a sharp clack every second or so, and if you stand underneath you can see the belt sagging below the rail and slapping it on the way up.
Press the button and the motor hums, but the door stays exactly where it is. Under the housing there is a dusting of white plastic shavings, the sign of a stripped drive gear, and this is the second time it has happened.
On bright mornings the door will not close, then by lunchtime it behaves itself. The garage faces the low sun, and the light reaches straight across the floor to one of the little black sensors.
Someone in the family tried to add a remote, held the button on the ceiling unit a little too long, and now every remote in the house is dead at once. The wall control still moves the door.
It is February. You come down in the morning and the garage door has stood open all night; the car is frosted inside, the furnace has run without a pause, and the pipe in the shared wall is your first worry.
Your garage is detached and has no side door. The remote is dead, the keypad is dead, and the small round lock in the top panel is meant to be your way in.

2021 Census
About 32% of homes in New Tecumseth were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
In newer areas the garage doors along a street often share a style and colour, and homeowners generally want a replacement that blends in. We match panel profiles and finishes closely, or help you choose a deliberate change that still sits comfortably with the neighbours.
Single-detached houses make up about 71% of homes in New Tecumseth (2021 Census).
Single-detached homes give a technician room to work: a driveway for the van, side room beside the tracks and a clear header. That means spring replacement, opener installation and full door replacement can each be finished in one visit with the door properly secured throughout.
A picture of the full spring assembly above the door, showing the centre bracket, both drums and how many springs there are, tells the technician a great deal. Add a close shot of the broken spring gap and any tag or colour marking on the cones, a photo of the cables at the bottom brackets, and one of the opener. These help confirm the door's configuration so the right springs and hardware are on the truck.
The spring is chosen from measurements rather than appearance. The technician records the door's width, height and weight, the drum type and track lift, and reads the old spring's wire size, inside diameter, length and wind direction. Those inputs together determine the spring that will balance the door. The choice is confirmed on the spot by lifting the finished door by hand and feeling it hold at mid-height.
Keep the door closed and leave it alone, move any vehicle you can reach out of the way or at least clear the space in front of the door inside the garage, and make sure there is room for a ladder beneath the shaft. Note whether there is one spring or two and whether a cable is loose. A photo of the spring area, the drums and the opener helps the technician bring the right parts.
Yes. The sensors are wired to the head unit, and the app or hub simply talks to that unit, so nothing about the connection changes. What you will notice is the fault code clearing: apps that reported the sensors as obstructed or not aligned show the door as ready to close again. If an app or hub still holds an old code after the work, refreshing it or cycling the door from the app once clears it.
One cycle is a full open and close. Springs are built for a set number of cycles, and a standard residential spring is commonly rated around ten thousand. A household that uses the door six times a day reaches that in roughly four to five years, while a door used twice a day stretches the same rating much further. Higher-cycle springs use heavier wire and a longer coil to produce the same force with less stress, so they last proportionally longer.
Businesses in New Tecumseth get the same technicians as households, with a schedule built around the hours the door has to be open. We arrive with commercial springs and operator parts, do the noisy work when it disturbs the fewest people, and leave a written note of what was done and what to watch for.
