Our story

A door should make a statement.

What we hold to, in three lines, each beside a customer’s own words from our Google reviews.

We’re a garage door company first. On most houses the garage door is the largest thing on the front, so a new one starts with how the house will look when we’re done.

“It completely changed the look of my home and has already received so many compliments.”

Avraz MajidGoogle review

Most houses show two doors to the street, so we replace front doors too. The two are chosen together and hung by the same crew, so they read as one decision.

“I’m very happy with the work done on my front door and garage door. … Both doors look amazing …”

If a door can be repaired, we repair it. If it is past repairing, we’ll tell you, and why.

“We were presented with multiple options and given the pros and cons of each.”

How we work

Why choose Modern Empire Doors.

Expertise, quality workmanship and accountability, as they show up on a job.

  1. Chosen against your house

    We talk through the styles against a photo of your front, not a catalogue. A black flush door on pale brick reads differently from the same door on siding.

  2. Measured before it is quoted

    Headroom, side room and backroom decide which springs and track will fit. The measurement comes before the final quote, so the number does not change on the day.

    Inside a garage: an old door, the torsion spring on the wall above it, and the track curving back overhead at the right.

  3. Hung straight, sealed all round

    Tracks set plumb, the door balanced, the seals fitted along every edge, and an opening that has shifted over the years allowed for rather than forced.

    A door frame close up: dark metal capping over the frame, and a bead of sealant where it meets the brick.

  4. We say when it can wait

    A noisy door or a dead remote will keep until a weekday visit. We say so on the phone, so you do not pay for a night call you did not need.

From one of our jobs

One opening,start to finish.

A patio door job of ours, its four stages recreated from the photos we took on it. The frames line up on the brickwork, so the wall stays put and only the opening changes.

A brick wall under a porch roof: an old white sliding door on the left, a small window opening boarded with plywood on the right, a white railing in front.

Before. The old slider, and the window beside it boarded.

What you keep

What stays after we leave.

The door carries its warranty. The van carries the parts.
