New Garage Door Installation
We supply and install residential garage doors — sectional steel, insulated, and carriage-house style. We measure on-site, confirm the opening dimensions and headroom before ordering anything, and do the full installation including a new opener if needed.
Doors We Install
Clopay
wide residential range. Their Coachman collection (steel with composite overlay) gets a lot of requests in Kitsilano, Point Grey, and West Vancouver — looks like a carriage door without the wood maintenance. Their Gallery Collection and modern full-view glass options are also popular.
CHI
good structural quality, competitive on insulated steel doors. The CHI 2250 and 3250 series are common in Metro Vancouver new builds.
Wayne Dalton
available for specific architectural requirements.
Insulation
For an attached garage in Metro Vancouver climate, we recommend a door with at least R-12 insulation value. An insulated door keeps the garage cooler in summer, reduces condensation in winter, and runs quieter. The price difference over a non-insulated door is modest; the long-term difference is meaningful.
What the Process Looks Like
1. We measure the opening — width, height, headroom, side room, and depth.
2. We confirm what opener the door requires (or whether your existing opener is compatible with the new door weight).
3. We order through our supplier. Lead time varies by door model — typically 1-3 weeks.
4. Installation day: remove old door and hardware, install new door sections and spring system, install or reinstall opener, test and adjust travel limits.

New door installation questions we get asked most
How long does a new garage door installation take?
A standard single or double door is normally a single-visit job, including removing the old one. Non-standard openings, custom sizing or jobs that also involve reframing take longer, and we will tell you which category yours falls into when we measure.
Which doors and openers do you install?
We are an authorized Amarr dealer and install the full Amarr range, from the Classica and Heritage carriage-house styles through the modern aluminium and full-view lines to fully custom Amarr By Design doors. For openers we install the complete LiftMaster residential line.
Do you take the old door away?
Yes. Removal and disposal of the old door and hardware is part of the installation, so you are not left with a dismantled door in the driveway.
My opening is not a standard size. What are my options?
This comes up a lot in older Metro Vancouver housing stock, where original openings frequently do not match current stock sizes. Doors can be built to the actual opening rather than forcing a stock door to fit, and we measure the real opening before quoting anything.
Do I need a new opener when I get a new door?
Not always. If your existing opener is in good condition and rated for the weight of the new door, it can often stay. A heavier insulated door on an older underpowered opener is the case where replacing both makes sense, and we will say so rather than selling you a unit you do not need.
