Ottawa Garage Door Help

New garage door installation in Ottawa

When a door is dented, drafty, or needs repairs that cost a big share of a new one, replacement often makes more sense. In Ottawa's climate, an insulated door also keeps an attached garage — and the room above it — noticeably warmer.

Signs you need this repair

Insulated or not?

If the garage is attached or has a room above it, an insulated steel door is usually worth it in Ottawa. Look at the R-value and at the weatherstripping along the bottom and sides — a good bottom seal matters as much as the insulation when the wind is blowing snow under the door.

Prices vary a lot with size, insulation, windows and style. Ask each installer what is included: removal and disposal of the old door, new tracks and springs, the bottom seal, and the warranty on both the door and the labour.

What it typically costs

Published guides list a new single steel door at roughly $800–$3,500 installed and an insulated double door at roughly $2,200–$6,500, depending on style and insulation. See our cost guide for sources. Read the cost guide.

Common questions

How long does it take to install a new garage door?

Installation itself is usually done in a day. The bigger wait is often ordering the door — ask the installer about lead times, especially in the fall.

Can I keep my existing opener?

Often, yes, if it's in good shape and suited to the new door's weight. The installer will check.
