Garage Door Repair in Scarborough
Scarborough is full of homes built in the 1950s through the 1970s, and a huge number still have their original single-car garages. A lot of companies do not like these jobs. We do them all the time.
Narrow driveways, low ceilings, wood doors, hardware that has not been touched in decades. We also handle the newer builds and townhome complexes across Scarborough — same service, same honest pricing.
Scarborough garage door problems we see most
Old wood doors
Wood doors soak up water. Over the years the bottom rail swells, splits and gets heavy. A heavy door pulls harder on the springs and the opener, so both wear out early. Sometimes we can rebuild the bottom and rebalance the door. Sometimes a wood door has simply reached the end. We will tell you which one you have.
Extension springs on old single-car garages
Many older Scarborough garages still use extension springs along the sides instead of a torsion spring above the door.
If you have side springs with no safety cable running through them, that is a real safety issue. A broken extension spring without a cable can fly across the garage. We fit safety cables as part of the repair.
Low ceilings and tight headroom
Older garages often do not have room for a standard ceiling-mounted opener. A wall-mounted jackshaft opener solves it — it sits beside the door instead of above it. A good option for Scarborough garages that were never built for openers at all.
Narrow driveways
Plenty of Scarborough driveways are just wide enough for one car. Door frames get clipped, tracks get bumped, and bottom corners get dented. Most of this is repairable if you catch it before the track bends.

Learn more →Questions from Scarborough customers
My garage has no opener at all. Can you install one?
Yes. We check the door is balanced first, then fit an opener that suits your ceiling height. Low headroom is not a problem.
Can you fix a wood garage door or do I need steel?
Often we can fix it. If the frame is solid and only the hardware is worn, a repair is the cheaper route. If the wood is rotting through, a steel door will cost less over time.
My springs are on the sides, not above the door. Is that bad?
Not bad, just older. The important thing is a safety cable running through each spring. Without one, a broken spring becomes a projectile. We can add them.
