Garage Door Service in Westboro, Ottawa

Westboro and Hintonburg are a different beast from Ottawa's suburbs — older homes, narrower lots, single-car detached garages, and a lot of original 1950s–1970s wood doors still in service. We do as much aluminum capping and wood-frame restoration here as we do new door installs. If your Westboro garage looks tired, it usually is — but it's also usually saveable.

Why Liftime works well in Westboro

Westboro and Hintonburg homes are older and the garage frames tend to show their age — rotting wood jambs, peeling paint, original 1960s wood doors that have warped over decades. We do a lot of aluminum capping and framing repair here, and the new doors we install have to fit older, sometimes-out-of-square openings.

What we typically see in Westboro

  • Rotted door framing — decades of weather on original wood jambs
  • Original 1950s–1970s wood doors — warped, paint-peeling, often replaceable with modern insulated steel
  • Out-of-square openings — older houses settle — we adjust install for it
  • Aluminum capping — wraps the wood once and stops the cycle of paint-and-rot
  • Single-bay carriage-house installs — matched to the historic look of older Westboro streets

For Westboro homeowners, the most-requested services break down across the year: spring repair in the cold months, opener repair when remotes or sensors act up, cable repair alongside aging springs, brand-new garage door installs when the existing door is past saving, opener installation for smart Wi-Fi upgrades, and weather-seal replacement after a hard Ottawa winter.

Frequently asked questions

Do you work on older Westboro and Hintonburg homes?
Often — older homes are a large part of our Westboro and Hintonburg work. We're used to out-of-square openings, original wood frames, and historic-style aesthetic constraints.
Can you cap the wood frame without replacing the whole door?
Yes — aluminum capping is one of our most-requested Westboro services. We wrap the existing wood in colour-matched aluminum so paint-and-rot never starts again.
My garage opening doesn't look square anymore. Can you still install?
Yes — older Ottawa homes settle. We adjust the install and the tracks to fit the actual opening, not the theoretical one.
What about heritage-style carriage doors?
Yes — we install carriage-house steel doors that look like swing-open wood doors but operate as sectionals. Common on older Westboro streets where the historic look matters.
