Professional Garage Door Repair Services in St. Albert
Garage Door Repair means we remove your old door or fit a new one, set the tracks and springs, and install the opener. Homeowners and small business owners call when doors are old, noisy, or unsafe. Sound familiar?
New installation fixes drafts, reduces noise, and makes your entry safer. Put simply, you get a tested opener, aligned tracks, and working sensors. That matters in winter when seal and insulation cut heating loss and keep rodents out.
Doing it yourself? Not usually a good idea. Springs hold big tension and openers need wiring and limits set. One wrong move and you end up with a bent track or a snapped spring. Better to have trained techs.

What Our Garage Door Repair Includes
Door Selection and Fit
We measure your opening, discuss panel styles and insulation, then pick a door that fits your house and budget. We avoid guesswork and show real samples on site so you know what you'll get.
We check header space and clearances so the tracks and springs will work without surprise cuts or gaps.
Spring and Track Setup
Torsion springs are set with exact tension so the door balances and the opener doesn't strain. Tracks are aligned and fastened to reduce wobble and noise.
We test balance several times and tweak until the door stays put where you leave it.
Opener Installation and Wiring
We install the opener, program remotes, connect the wall switch, and set force and travel limits. Safety sensors are aligned and tested to stop the door if something blocks it.
If you want Wi‑Fi control or battery backup, we install that too and show you how it works.
Final Safety and Clean-Up
We run safety checks, tighten hardware, and oil moving parts. Then we remove old parts and leave the site tidy. You'll get a quick walk-through and a paper invoice that lists what we did.
We also leave tips for seasonal care so the door lasts longer.

Insulation Level
Higher R-value doors keep the garage warmer and add to price. For attached garages this often pays back in lower heat loss.

Repair vs Replace: What St. Albert Homeowners Should Know
Deciding to repair or replace matters when you weigh cost, safety, and how old the door is. Small fixes can hold short-term, but old systems often need more work later.
Repair
Best when:
- The door is under 8 years and damage is limited
- Only springs or rollers need work
- Panels are in good shape
Considerations: Repairs cost less now but may return if the whole system is near end of life.
Replace
Best when:
- Multiple parts fail or panels are rusted
- You want better insulation and a quieter opener
- The door is older than 12 years
Considerations: Replace for long-term savings, safety, and reduced service calls.
Our team helps you weigh the options and gives a clear cost comparison so you can choose what fits your budget and needs.
