What customers usually need

About 60% of our calls are repairs — broken torsion springs, frayed cables, worn rollers, opener gears, sensors that won't stay aligned, or doors knocked off-track. Springs alone account for a big share of winter calls in Ottawa, because cold temperatures put extra stress on tensioned steel.

About 30% are installations — new doors, new openers, opener upgrades to smart Wi-Fi belt-drives, full panel replacements, and aluminum capping around aging wood frames.

The remaining 10% are weather-related: bottom seals, side weatherstripping, and the small framing repairs that make a door close properly again.

The doors and openers we install

We install residential garage doors from every major Canadian manufacturer — Garaga, Steel-Craft, TOHO, Wayne Dalton, Richards-Wilcox — picked to fit your opening, your insulation needs, and the look you want. Our most common installs are insulated steel sectional doors in modern flush, traditional raised-panel, and carriage-style. The Door Guide walks through the options.

Openers: belt-drive (the quiet choice for attached garages), jackshaft (side-mount for cathedral ceilings), and smart Wi-Fi models from LiftMaster and Chamberlain. Most include myQ smartphone control.

Where we work

Ottawa and over twenty surrounding communities — Kanata, Orléans, Nepean, Barrhaven, Gloucester, Stittsville, Manotick, Riverside South, Greely, Cumberland, Westboro, plus Carp, Osgoode, Metcalfe, Navan, Dunrobin, Rockland, Almonte, Carleton Place, and most of the greater Ottawa area.

Inside the Greenbelt, most calls are completed same-day. Outer-ring calls usually finish the next morning.

The 8-year parts + 3-year labor warranty

Every Liftime job carries an 8-year warranty on the parts we install and a 3-year warranty on the labor. The terms are written on the invoice we hand you, and warranty calls come back to the same phone number that answered your original call. We register manufacturer warranties on your behalf when applicable.
