What’s included
Four facesa modern door can take.
A modern door for a Aurora house is chosen for the house it goes on and ordered to the opening, 20 minutes from the shop; a flush or glass door hung in the same opening is the kind the Town of Aurora exempts from a building permit, and the size of the opening is what Town of Aurora Building Division (Planning and Development Services) reviews, not the colour or the glass.
02Long panel
Long panel and planks
A handful of long lines cross the door horizontally, with lites above, in wood-look or painted steel.
- Long-panel steel
- Painted steel
- Wood-look finish
- A row of clear lites
03Glass
Full-view glass doors
Glass fills every section of aluminium frames: frosted for privacy, clear for a workshop.
- Aluminium frames
- Frosted or clear glass
- Insulated glazing
- Daylight in the garage
04Lites
Glass in a row or column
Whether lites go in a row across the top or in a column on one side matters most to how the door looks.
- A top row of lites
- A side column of lites
- Square or long lites
- Frosted or clear lites

Rated 4.9 out of 5 from 70 reviews on Google (opens Google Maps)After years of dents and damage from hockey pucks, our new garage door looks amazing!!
I’m very happy with the work done on my front door and garage door. … Both doors look amazing …
Everyone else told me I’d be waiting anywhere from 6 weeks to 4 months just to get a door delivered and installed.
My garage spring and cables snapped on a Sunday afternoon, Moe was able to swing by the next morning …
Great Service by Moe, very clean job, on time and no surprises.
It completely changed the look of my home and has already received so many compliments.
The work was done in 5 hours and they cleaned up after themselves leaving no trace of my old garage door and front door.
I called Moe he was here in the same hour and we got our new doors in two days
He didn’t just fix the immediate problem … made sure the door was running smoother and quieter than before.
We were presented with multiple options and given the pros and cons of each.
… replacing my destroyed garage door for a beautiful modern style door.
Replaced my front door and garage door with a remote. … the finished work looks amazing.
I had a quote within a day … and the new door installed by that weekend.
Garage door spring was broken. Moe was able to come out the next day and fit it.
Moe takes the time to get to know what your needs are and has affordable recommendations.
Moe did an excellent job replacing our old, worn down garage door with a beautiful, heavy duty white one.
… he was here the next day and we had our garage doors and front doors done within one week.
The whole process was seamless and I couldn’t believe how fast the job was completed without any hiccups.
… came on short notice to take a look. He quickly diagnosed the problem and had it fixed in no time.
They were super on time, super efficient, and the price was dead on.

Real jobs on our customers’ houses, recreated from the photos we took: the door we took down, and the one we hung in its place.
A two-car door, dented end to end.
Every section of the old door was dented, and the middle had torn open. We hung a flush steel door in the same opening, charcoal to sit with the dark siding, under the same basketball hoop.

FAQ
Modern garage doors questionsin Aurora.
What Aurora homeowners ask about modern garage doors, and the questions every door raises.

Planning a new door5 questions
Glass and finish move the figure more than anything else on a modern door: how much of it is glazed, whether the glass is clear, frosted or insulated, and whether the finish is a standard colour or a wood-look. Size, material and hardware come after. The estimate is free and gives one figure before work starts, from two pictures and your opening size.
Hanging is the short part: a standard single or double replacement normally takes a day. The wait is for the door, which is made to your measurements, with its date given when you order. On a street in Northeast Old Aurora, the Town's approval, if it asks for one, comes before the order, and that is where a schedule can stretch.
Style is not a trigger. A modern door in the existing opening is a straight replacement, which normally needs no building permit, and a wider or taller opening is what brings one. A condo or townhouse corporation may set rules on style and colour, so ask before ordering a black or full-glass door.
Send two pictures, one from outside and one from inside with the door shut, and say which style and window layout you like. The crew measures at the opening before the order goes in, and the door is built to those numbers. The drive up Yonge Street from the shop is 20 minutes (12.7 km), and the date comes when the order is placed.
Doors are built to your measurements, so an unusual width or height is simply ordered that way, and tall openings call for custom sizing. Older openings are often non-standard, which is why five measurements are taken before anything is ordered. Making the opening itself larger is a different job: it changes the header and brings the permit question.
A door that won't work5 questions
Yes. Modern Empire Doors is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, holidays included, and the phone is answered at night. A door stuck open is a security problem, and a door stuck shut with the car inside is a lost day, so neither waits for Monday. Some things can wait for a weekday: a noisy door, a remote that stopped while the wall button still works, a torn seal. If you are not sure which yours is, call and ask.
Usually, yes. The parts that fail most often are carried on the van, so most repairs are finished on the first visit. If you text a photo from inside the garage before we come, we can often see what has failed and make sure the right part is with us. The exceptions are parts made for one door, such as a replacement section in a matching design and colour, which may have to be ordered in. In the meantime the door can usually be secured so the garage still locks.
It depends on the part, and most repairs come down to a handful: springs, cables, rollers, the opener or the safety sensors. We would rather tell you the real price for your door than quote a range that does not apply to it, so text a photo from inside the garage to (647) 323-1826 and we can usually tell which part it is before we arrive. Most repairs are finished in one visit, and you hear the price before any work starts.
Often, if the same section is still made. What people call a panel is usually a full-width section, and the new one has to match the make, size, design and colour of the rest. On a newer door from a current series that is usually possible. On an older or discontinued door it may not be, and a mismatched section can look worse than the dent. Sun-faded finishes are the other catch. Send a photo, plus any label on the door's inside edge, and we will tell you honestly.
Richmond Hill first: our shop is at 138 Yorkland St. From there we cover Vaughan, Markham, Thornhill, Aurora, Newmarket, Whitchurch-Stouffville, King City, Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke and Durham Region, for new doors and for repairs, at any hour. If you are close by and not sure whether you are in the area, call (647) 323-1826 and ask; we would rather tell you straight than have you wait.

It may. The district asks for approval before exterior alterations, and the Town decides whether a garage door counts, so ask it before ordering. Outside the district the choice is yours.

A workshop or hobby garage, where daylight does the most work and nothing needs hiding. A garage that stores bikes, tools and bins from the street view suits frosted or obscured glass, which still lets light in.

Often. Insulated steel in a wood-look finish keeps the grain without the refinishing, and it loads the hardware less than real wood does. Real wood stays an option if you want it.

The guide
Modern garage doors in Aurora: good to know.
What is different about modern garage doors in Aurora: the houses, the rules and the drive from the shop.
Modern garage doors in Aurora: start from the glass
A modern door is the largest flat surface facing the street, so the decisions run in a different order than for a plain replacement. Start with the glass: how much of the door is glazed, and whether it is clear, frosted, obscured or insulated, because that sets privacy, price and how much daylight reaches the garage.
Then the panel line and the finish: flush or long panel, black, graphite or a wood-look steel. Colour is easiest to judge beside the entry door and trim, which is why the two doors are often quoted together. Hardware finish and the opener come last.
Modern garage door permits in Aurora
The building permit question is the opening, as for any garage door: the same opening needs none, and a wider or taller one does. Style does not change that.
Aurora adds one thing the building permit does not cover. Northeast Old Aurora is a heritage conservation district where approval is needed for exterior alterations, so a house inside it should ask the Town about a flush black or full-glass door before one is ordered. Elsewhere in town the choice is yours.
