New Garage Doors for Surrey Homes and Townhouses

In Newton, Guildford and Fleetwood, a lot of the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s split-levels and basement-entry homes still have the door they were built with. Those doors tend to be dented, uninsulated and patched with mismatched parts. When panels are dented in more than one place, or matching panels are no longer made, a new door is usually the better buy.

Surrey households also put more miles on a door than most. Many families use the garage as the main way in and out, and multi-car driveways and RV parking mean more bumps. A door that cycles that often and keeps taking hits starts to cost more in repairs than it is worth. We look at the whole door and tell you plainly which way makes sense.

Strata townhouses make up a large share of Surrey's recent construction, especially in Clayton and Grandview. Most of those complexes have rules on garage door style and colour, and some limit opener types too.

Get approval from your strata before booking. Send us the approved style or colour and we will quote a door that fits. If the strata also controls the opener, we check what is allowed before suggesting a change. On these smaller townhouse garages, an insulated door is worth it if a room sits beside or above the garage.

Rain totals are lower in Surrey than in Vancouver, and South Surrey gets more sun near the bay. Inland, Cloverdale and Clayton see slightly colder winter nights. If your garage is attached, holds a freezer or doubles as a workshop, an insulated door keeps that space warmer.

The larger newer homes on Panorama Ridge, in Morgan Creek and in Sullivan often have double garages with heavier doors. A heavier new door may need a stronger opener, and older openers in many Surrey homes are already near the end. We check yours at the quote and say if it should be replaced at the same time.

Call or send the form with the size of your garage and what is wrong with the current door. We come out, measure, check the springs and opener, and quote on site. Price depends on size, style, insulation, windows and hardware.

Most single and double doors go in during one visit of about half a day, and the old door leaves with us. Summer fills up with door replacements and opener upgrades, so book the quote in spring if you can. We also install doors in nearby New Westminster, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody and Coquitlam.
