Garage door installation across London, ON
We install new garage doors right across London, ON and the surrounding 40 km — Byron, Lambeth, Hyde Park, Masonville, Oakridge, Old North and Wortley Village, plus St. Thomas, Strathroy, Ingersoll and Woodstock. For London homes, insulation matters as much as looks: an attached garage shares a wall with the house, so a well-insulated door cuts drafts, softens street noise and keeps the space usable right through an Ontario winter. Older London neighbourhoods often have non-standard openings, which is why we measure in-home rather than off a catalogue — matching the door’s style, R-value and hardware to your street, your home’s era and your budget. On most London streets the garage door is the largest thing you see from the curb, so the right choice lifts resale value and curb appeal as much as everyday comfort.
Garage door installation in London — FAQ
How much does a new garage door cost in London?
Installed, a new single garage door in London typically starts around $1,499 and rises with size, material, insulation and windows. A standard insulated steel door lands mid-range; glass and carriage styles run higher. Your free in-home quote gives an exact installed price with old-door removal included.
How long does installation take?
Most single- and double-door installs are finished in a day, often a half-day. We remove and haul away the old door and hardware, install the new door, opener and weather seal, then balance and safety-test everything before we leave.
What R-value do I need for Ontario winters?
For an attached or heated garage in London, look for R-12 to R-16; for a detached garage, R-8 to R-12 is usually enough. Higher R-value means a quieter, warmer garage and lower heat loss — worth it given our winters. We’ll match the door to how you use the space.
Which door material holds up best in London winters?
Insulated steel is the workhorse for London — it resists dents, shrugs off road salt, and with a polyurethane core it holds heat far better than a single-layer door. Aluminium and full-glass doors look striking on modern homes but insulate less; carriage and composite styles split the difference. We match the material and R-value to whether your garage is attached, heated or detached.
Does a new garage door add resale value?
Consistently — a new garage door is one of the highest return-on-cost upgrades in national remodelling surveys, and on most London streets it’s the biggest thing buyers see from the curb. A clean, well-insulated door lifts both the asking price and how quickly a home sells, on top of the day-to-day comfort and lower heating bills.
Do you remove the old door?
Yes. Every installation includes removing your old door, tracks and hardware and hauling it away — it’s built into the quote, not an add-on. You’re left with a clean opening and a new door balanced and tested before we go.
