Do You Sell and Install New Garage Doors?

Yes. GVA Garage Doors supplies and installs new residential and commercial garage doors, including Amarr doors, and we remove and dispose of your old door.

If your door keeps breaking down, you might wonder whether to replace one section or the whole door. Paint can hide a cosmetic problem, but a new door fixes the function and the look, protects your home's entrance and everything in the garage, and adds curb appeal.

Why Hire a Professional Installer

Installing a garage door involves heavy sections, springs under high tension, electrical work for the opener and removing the old door safely. A professional does it safely and correctly the first time.

What to Consider

1. Cost: the material, size, insulation, windows and whether you add an opener all affect the price.
2. Insulation: a higher R-value keeps heat in, cuts outside noise and keeps cold air out. Polyurethane-insulated doors insulate best; polystyrene is a good value option.
3. Pinch resistance: section joints shaped to push fingers out of the way as the door closes.
4. Tamper-resistant bottom brackets: brackets that can't be loosened while the springs are under tension, which prevents serious injuries.

Comparing Quotes

A quote should include removing the old door and installing the new one with new tracks, springs and hardware. Material, style and whether an opener is included all change the price: a steel door without an opener costs much less than a wood door with one. Newer models offer energy-efficient glass and thicker insulation.

Materials

• Custom wood (such as cedar, hemlock or mahogany): beautiful, but costly and higher-maintenance.
• Wood composite: often made with recycled content, paintable and more affordable than solid wood.
• Vinyl: dent-resistant and low-maintenance.
• Steel: the most common and most affordable; compare R-values when you shop.

A well-made, well-maintained door typically lasts 20 to 30 years.

Styles

• Sectional (roll-up): the most popular; hinged sections roll up into the ceiling on tracks.
• Tilt-up (swing-up): a single panel that pivots up into the garage.
• Swing-out (carriage): two doors open outward from the centre, leaving the ceiling free for storage.
• Sliding: doors slide sideways along a track above the opening.
