A worn bottom seal lets in snow, leaves and cold air, and lets warmth out of the room above. We fit new seals and perimeter weatherstrip sized to your door, so the garage stays drier and the rest of the house works less hard.
A tune-up is a fixed routine we follow on every door: tighten all hardware, lubricate hinges, rollers, springs and bearings, check cable condition, set spring balance, adjust opener limits and force, test the safety sensors and clean the tracks. It is the difference between a door that runs and a door that lasts.
A garage door belongs to the architecture. Its movement belongs to your everyday life. We bring both into the conversation.

Garage door services
Doors in this climate work hard: freezing nights, salt on the driveway, humid summers. Our services cover the wear that comes from all of it, plus the upgrades that make a door easier to live with, like insulation and phone control.
Garage Door Safety InspectionYou moved in three months ago.
Garage Door Tune-UpThe door lands with a thud you can feel through the kitchen floor, and sometimes it bounces back up a few centimetres before settling.
Off-Track Garage Door ResetThe door came down fine but with a scraping noise, and now the vertical track on one side is bowed away from the wall.
Garage Door Panel ReplacementThe inside face of one section has started to bow outward and the outer skin has a soft, wavy look.
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 RepairThe T-shaped handle on the outside turns a full quarter, exactly as it has for twenty years, but nothing moves behind it.
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.
Garage Door Opener ReplacementSince the cold snap the door has been stiff and noisy first thing, and after the last thaw the bottom corner began to judder. There is slush in the foot of the track and a bloom of rust on the lowest wheel.
Garage Door Roller ReplacementEvery morning the door announces itself to the whole street: a long metallic squeal as it climbs, a rattle at the top, and a groan on the way back down. It still opens and closes, but it never used to sound like this.
Garage Door Tune-UpSprings
Doors that are hard to lift by hand, or that slam shut when released, are out of balance. Balance lives in the springs, and the services here restore it, whether that means new springs, a fresh cable or a careful adjustment.
On a cold morning the remote does nothing useful: the light comes on, the motor turns briefly, the door stays shut.
The car bumper kissed the door on the way in.
Halfway up, the door hesitates and the opener strains before it carries on.
Since shelving went up along the garage wall, the door will not close and both sensor lights are dead.
New Doors
New doors arrive with new hardware, and the installation sets it all up from scratch: tracks aligned, springs matched, rollers seated, seals fitted and the opener paired. When we leave, the door runs as its maker intended.
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 door opens about a third of the way and stops. Turning the limit screw on the head has made no difference, and the trolley seems to sit in the wrong place along the rail when the door is fully closed.
The belt looks fine from a distance, but up close the rubber has cracked across the back in dozens of places and, in one spot, you can see the steel cords showing through.
During the ice storm the power was off for two days. You came home in the dark, found the door dead, and had to climb out of the car to pull the red cord in the cold.
Since shelving went up along the garage wall, the door will not close and both sensor lights are dead. A screw or staple may have gone through the thin wire that runs from the opener to the sensors.
The new car has three buttons in the mirror for garage doors. You held the old remote up to it as the manual said, the light in the car changed, and yet the door ignores it completely.
You are twenty minutes down the highway when the thought lands: did the garage door close behind you? You cannot picture it.
A previous owner knotted the release cord around the rail and stacked storage shelves right beneath it. You only discovered this in the dark, with the power off, a flashlight in your teeth and a car that needed to be somewhere.
Sensible optionPhoto-eye alignment.
WhyThe sensors near the floor are out of line or dirty; a clean and re-aim usually restores normal closing.
Sensible optionClose-limit adjustment.
WhyThe opener thinks it hit something; setting the travel limit correctly stops the bounce.
Sensible optionBottom seal and limit setting.
WhyA compressed seal or a short travel limit leaves daylight; both are simple to correct.
Sensible optionGarage Door Panel Replacement
WhyA sectional garage door is built from four or five horizontal sections joined by hinges, each riding on its own rollers in the tracks.
Sensible optionGarage Door Perimeter Weatherstrip
WhyAround a garage door there are three seals: one on the bottom edge of the door, and two running up the sides and across the top of the opening.
Sensible optionGarage Door Manual Lock Repair
WhyA manual lock earns its keep on the nights the power goes out.

2021 Census
About 8% of homes in Vaughan were built in 1980 or earlier, according to the 2021 Census.
In neighbourhoods built more recently, most garage doors are sectional steel on torsion springs with a belt or chain opener from the same era. The springs on these doors are rated for a set number of cycles, and many are now reaching the end of that first life.
Single-detached houses make up about 63% of homes in Vaughan (2021 Census).
In a neighbourhood of houses, each garage door is chosen by the household, so styles vary from one driveway to the next. When it is time for a new door, homeowners pick panel design, windows, colour and insulation freely, and we bring samples to compare against the siding.
Usually, yes, and often dramatically. Most garage door noise comes from dry hinge pins, dry roller bearings and hardware that vibration has loosened, and those three are exactly what a tune-up addresses. Some noise comes from parts that have worn, such as a roller gone out of round or a chain that has stretched, and the technician tells you which sounds were settled by maintenance and which point to a part worth replacing, with a separate quote for that.
Springs are inspected and lubricated during a tune-up, and the balance test tells us whether they are carrying the door's weight properly. Changing their tension is a separate, deliberate job: the door is clamped to the track, winding bars are used on a torsion spring, and the technician works from a stable position. If the balance check shows the springs need adjustment or replacement, you receive that as its own recommendation with its own quote.
The door type and rough size, single or double; the opener brand or a photo of its label; what you have noticed, such as noise, shaking, hesitation, slamming or reversing, and whether it is worse in cold weather; whether the door has been struck by anything; and whether the springs are above the door or along the sides. None of this is required, but each detail helps the right parts and tools arrive with the technician.
They do, slowly. The infrared emitter and the receiver dim over many years, lenses craze or cloud from sun and salt, housings crack, and water finds its way in at floor level. A pair that needs re-aligning more and more often, or whose light drifts between steady and flickering with nothing touched, is usually ageing. Because pairs are matched to the opener, an older opener is worth identifying early so the right replacement is on hand.
Most residential replacements are completed in one visit. Securing the door, measuring, removing the old spring, fitting and winding the new one, balancing and testing the opener typically takes an hour or two, longer if bearings, cables or a bent top section are also being dealt with. The technician confirms the scope after the first checks, so you know what the visit involves before the work starts.
We keep things plain for people in Vaughan. No jargon in the explanation, no surprises on the invoice, no work started before you have agreed to it. The technician shows you the problem, prices the options on the spot, and gets on with the repair once you say yes.
