What we do
Garage door services for homes and businesses
From a spring that failed this morning to a full door replacement, every job starts with an honest diagnosis of what actually needs fixing.
Our process
How the job runs
- 1
Tell us what it is doing
Call, WhatsApp or send the form. A photo of the door, the spring or the opener gets you a far better answer than a description.
- 2
Diagnosis on site
The whole system gets checked — door, springs, cables, rollers, tracks and opener — not just the part that looks wrong.
- 3
Clear pricing first
You get the real number and the reasoning behind it, and you approve it, before anything starts.
- 4
Repaired and re-balanced
The door is tested, balanced and the opener re-set, so the fix actually holds rather than moving the problem along.
Fastest diagnosis
Send a photo of the problem
A picture of the spring above your door, the opener unit, or the way the door is sitting tells us more in ten seconds than a phone call does in ten minutes. Send one and you get a real assessment — including when the fix is something you can do yourself.
- The spring bar above the door
- The opener unit and its model label
- How the door sits when it stops
- Any frayed cable near the bottom bracket
Ready when you are
Attach photos straight to the quote form, or send them over WhatsApp if that is easier.

Reviews
What customers say
Real garage door problems across Laval, Montreal and the surrounding suburbs — and how they were resolved.
“Spring went on a Sunday morning with the car locked inside and my wife needed to be at work. Sent a photo over WhatsApp, got a straight answer on what it was and what it would cost before anyone drove out. Both springs replaced and the door is quieter than it has been in years.”
Marc-André L.
Chomedey, Laval · February 2026
“Two other companies told me the whole door needed replacing. These guys came out, found a bent track and worn rollers, fixed both, and charged a fraction of what I was quoted elsewhere. Honest is the word I would use.”
Sylvie T.
Sainte-Dorothée, Laval · January 2026
“Opener finally died after about fifteen years. They walked me through belt versus chain given the bedroom sitting right above the garage, installed a belt drive, and set the travel limits properly. You genuinely cannot hear it from upstairs now.”
David R.
Saint-Laurent, Montreal · March 2026
“Door would reverse right before it touched the ground, every single time. Turned out to be the photo eyes knocked out of alignment plus a drifted limit setting. Twenty minutes, no parts, no upsell. Explained what to watch for next time.”
Nathalie B.
Rosemère · December 2025
“Cable snapped and the door was hanging crooked. I was told not to touch it and they were right — the other cable was carrying everything. Replaced both cables, re-spooled the drums, re-balanced the door. Clear pricing before starting.”
Éric G.
Brossard · February 2026
“Had them replace a 1970s door on our Laval-des-Rapides bungalow. Insulated sections, new tracks, new hardware, springs sized for the actual weight. The garage is noticeably warmer and the heating bill has shown it.”
Josée M.
Laval-des-Rapides, Laval · November 2025
Pricing
What actually drives the price
No two garage door jobs price the same, and any company quoting you a firm number before seeing the door is guessing. Here is what changes the figure — you get the real one after the diagnosis, before any work starts.
| Job | What moves the price | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Torsion spring replacement | Door weight and height, single vs matched pair, spring cycle rating | Always replaced in pairs on a two-spring door so balance is kept. |
| Cable replacement | Whether drums need re-spooling, condition of the bottom brackets | Usually paired with a balance check, since a snapped cable means the door ran uneven. |
| Opener repair | Gear kit vs logic board vs sensors, brand and age of unit | A stripped nylon gear is a repair. A failed board on a 15-year-old unit often is not worth it. |
| Opener replacement | Chain, belt or wall-mount; horsepower for door weight; accessories | Belt drive is worth it when there is a bedroom above the garage. |
| Panel / section replacement | Availability of a matching section, insulated vs non-insulated | Has to be ordered to match — this is the one job that is rarely same-visit. |
| Full door replacement | Size, insulation R-value, window inserts, new tracks and hardware | Includes correctly sized springs and a re-set opener, not just the door. |
Fastest way to a real number: send a photo of the door, the spring above it, or the opener unit. WhatsApp is usually quickest — you often get an assessment back before a technician is dispatched.
From the field
What these jobs actually look like
Recognising the problem early is most of the battle. These are the four things we are called out for most.
Broken torsion spring
The visible gap in the coil above the door. With one spring gone the opener is carrying weight it was never rated for.
On-site diagnosis
Door, springs, cables, rollers, tracks and opener checked as one system before anything is quoted.
Winter failures
Ice bonding the bottom seal to the slab, and the opener reading that resistance as an obstruction.
Completed installation
Insulated sections, new tracks and hardware, springs sized to the door and the opener re-set.
FAQ
Common questions
The things people ask us most often before booking a visit.
How fast can you come out for a broken garage door?
Response time depends on the day's schedule and where you are in Greater Montreal. Broken springs, cables and doors that will not close are treated as priority calls. Send a photo when you contact us and we can usually tell you what the job involves before a technician is dispatched, which means arriving with the right parts the first time.
Do you repair all garage door brands?
We service the common residential and commercial systems found across Quebec. Parts availability varies by brand and by the age of the door, and we will tell you up front if something has to be ordered rather than discovering it halfway through the job.
Should I repair or replace my garage door?
If the sections are sound, repair is almost always the better value — springs, cables, rollers and openers are all replaceable wear items. Replacement makes sense when panels are rusted through, badly dented across several sections, or no longer available. We would rather fix a good door than sell you a new one.
Which areas do you serve?
Laval and all its sectors, the island of Montreal, the North Shore, the South Shore and the West Island. Coverage for a specific address is confirmed when you contact us.
Can I send photos instead of describing the problem?
Yes, and it is genuinely the fastest route to a real answer. A picture of the spring bar above the door, the opener unit, or how the door is sitting tells us more in seconds than a long description does. Attach photos to the quote form or send them over WhatsApp.
Is a door with a broken spring safe to use?
No. With one spring broken the door is effectively unbalanced dead weight, and the opener, cables and remaining spring are all carrying load they were never rated for. Leave the door closed and contact us — continuing to operate it usually turns a spring bill into a spring and opener bill.
Do you work on commercial doors?
Yes. Sectional and rolling commercial doors, commercial operators and scheduled maintenance for buildings running multiple bays. Commercial doors cycle far more than residential ones and need hardware rated for that usage.
What does a garage door repair cost?
It depends on what has actually failed, the size and weight of the door, and whether parts have to be ordered. Anyone quoting a firm figure before seeing the door is guessing. You get a real number after the diagnosis and before any work starts — and sending a photo first gets you a realistic range much sooner.
