FAQ

Common questions, plain answers.

How soon can you come out?
We serve Ottawa, Kanata, Orléans, Nepean, Barrhaven and Gloucester and aim for same-day where the schedule allows. Urgent calls (door stuck open, won't close) are prioritized — call us and we'll give you a realistic time window.
What does a garage door spring replacement involve?
We replace torsion springs in pairs with the door re-balanced and cycle-tested. Michael will quote the exact price on the phone or on-site before any work begins — no surprise charges.
Do you service all brands?
Yes — LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Wayne Dalton, Clopay, Garaga and more. We stock common parts on the truck so most repairs finish in one visit.
Are you insured and accredited?
Yes — we're BBB Accredited with an A+ rating, fully insured for liability, and have been serving Ottawa as an owner-operated garage door service since 2017.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes — phone estimates and on-site quotes for new garage door and opener installations are free. For repair calls, a service-call fee covers the diagnosis; Michael will confirm the exact amount on the phone before booking.
Do you work in winter?
Year-round. Cold weather is actually our busiest season — broken springs, frozen seals, and stuck doors all spike when temperatures drop. We're equipped for it.
