In Business
GVA Garage Doors serves Surrey with garage door repair, installation, and maintenance — available 24/7. Fixing your door right the first time — smooth, quiet, reliable operation with same-day appointments in most cases, upfront pricing and a 1-year parts and labour warranty.
Surrey is home base for our team, so we know its mix of heritage homes in Cloverdale, busy family homes in Newton and Fleetwood, and new townhouses in Grandview Heights and Clayton.

Choosing the Right Springs
One cycle = one open and close. Many families use the garage 4–5 times a day, so a standard 10,000-cycle spring may last only 6–7 years in a busy home (7–12 years with average use). High-cycle springs (20,000–50,000 cycles) cost more upfront but last proportionally longer — ask us for a quote. Springs carry our 3-year warranty.
How to Test Your Door's Balance
Clear the area of kids, pets and cars → close the door → pull the red emergency release → lift the door to about 3–4 ft → let go. Stays put: balanced. Drifts slowly: needs adjustment. Slams down or shoots up: stop using the opener and call us.
Opener Types Compared
- Chain drive: moderate–loud, economical, good for detached garages.
- Belt drive: very quiet, ideal with bedrooms above.
- Direct drive: very quiet, few moving parts.
- Smart/Wi-Fi: phone control and alerts on any drive type.
Seasonal Care for Surrey Homes
- Spring: clean and lubricate springs, hinges and rollers; check weatherstripping.
- Summer: check the door's paint and panels; test auto-reverse.
- Fall: replace worn bottom seals before the rainy season; clear leaves from tracks.
- Winter: use a lubricant suited to cold temperatures; watch for ice at the threshold.
Common Problems We Fix in Surrey
- Door slow or stuck in cold weather — stiff lubricant, frozen seals or a weak spring.
- Grinding or squeaking — dry or worn rollers and loose hardware.
- Door opens then closes again — misaligned or dirty photo-eyes.
- Crooked door — unbalanced springs or a cable problem (never DIY).
- Remote works only sometimes — battery, range, interference or an aging receiver.
Our Service Promise
- Upfront price before work.
- 1-year parts and labour warranty (3 years on springs).
- Satisfaction commitment — if it isn't right, we come back.
- Follow-up call after the job.
