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 Hampton Park run on 1950s–70s housing, and the garages are the same age: heavy original wood doors, rotted framing, out-of-square openings, and tight single bays with almost no side clearance. Half our Westboro jobs start with carpentry — jamb repair and framing — before a door can even go in. That's work most garage door companies won't touch; we do it in-house.

Westboro neighbourhoods we work in

What we typically see in Westboro

  • Original 1950s–70s wood doors — heavy, waterlogged, off-balance, and overdue for retirement
  • Rotted framing and out-of-square openings — jamb and header repair before installation, done by us, not a subcontractor
  • Tight single-car garages — low-headroom track kits and wall-mount openers that fit where ceiling drives can't
  • Modern flush and glass-panel installs on renovations — the door style Westboro infills and renos ask for most
  • Extension-to-torsion conversions — safer and smoother for older doors that are staying

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.

“Michael was extremely responsive to our garage door needs. He identified the issues with the current door and although he could have fixed it, provided a reasonable price to replace the door fully and improve on previous performance.”

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.
