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.

Both doors on one house.
The garage door and the front doors were both brown: raised panels with square lites, and double doors with grid lites in a white frame. We replaced them together in one grey, so the two now match across the front of the house.

Planning a new door5 questions
The opening comes first. If it keeps its size, the price turns on one door or two, material, insulation, glass, and the shape the framing, jambs and tracks are in. A wider opening is a different job in Newmarket, with a driveway question and a permit step ahead of it. You get one figure before ordering, built from real information instead of an average.
Start counting at the order, not the install. A door is made to your measurements, its lead time depends on the manufacturer, the model and the season, and the date is set when you place the order. Where a Newmarket opening is being enlarged, the Town's permit, applied for through its Development Portal, goes in first. The install itself is normally one day for a standard single or double, and jamb repairs or a new opener add hours.
Usually not, if the door goes into the opening you have. Enlarging the opening is what draws the Town in: Newmarket lists new openings and larger doors and windows among its permit projects, and a taller garage opening means cutting into the beam above it. If a bigger opening is the plan, the permit is applied for through the Development Portal before the install is booked.
Tracks do not carry over. They leave with the old door, and new ones go in with the new sections, together with the shaft, drums, cables and springs matched to the new door's weight. The jambs stay and are inspected once the opening is bare. Odd-sized openings are common on older houses, so the door is made to the measurements taken, not pulled from stock.
That is a different job from a straight swap, and it shows once the opening is bare. If a jamb has rotted, the lintel is too light, a track is bent or the opening is out of square, the work changes, so you are shown what turned up and what it now costs before anything goes on. On older houses the foot of a jamb is often soft from water and road salt.
A door that won't work5 questions
Check three things before you call anyone. Is the opener getting power, or has the plug come out or the breaker tripped? Is the door locked, or has the red release cord been pulled? And look at the springs above the opening: a gap of a couple of inches in a coil means one has snapped, often with a loud bang beforehand. If a spring is broken, do not force the door or keep pressing the button. Stop there and call (647) 323-1826, at any hour.
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.

It can. The Town caps driveway width by dwelling type and asks owners to confirm the figures with Planning, so a wider door is a driveway question before it is an order.

Five. Opening width, opening height, headroom above the opening, side room on both sides and the depth back to the rear wall. Headroom decides the spring and track layout, and the door is built to fit instead of taken off a shelf.

Not for a like-for-like door in the same opening, but a condo corporation may set its own style and colour rules, so ask it before choosing. The Town's rules concern the opening and the driveway.

The guide
Garage door installation in Newmarket: good to know.
What is different about installation & replacement in Newmarket: the houses, the rules and the drive from the shop.
Garage door installation in Newmarket, measured to the opening
The choices come after the measurements: insulation, construction, panel style, colour and the glass in the top section. Matching style and colour to the front door and trim does more for the front of a house than almost any other single change, and one crew hangs both doors on the facade. A heavier door needs springs sized to it, which is part of fitting it properly.
Install day starts at the floor: the bottom section goes in first with a fresh seal under it, and the rest stack above it. Lift the door halfway by hand: if it stays there, it is balanced. The opener is then reconnected, the travel limits and closing force set, the sensors aligned and the reversal tested against a solid object.
Garage door installation permits in Newmarket
Most replacements are like for like, which rarely needs a building permit when the new door goes into the same opening. The line falls at the opening. Newmarket's building page names creating new openings, or increasing the size of doors and windows, as permit work, and a garage opening cut wider or taller means altering the beam that carries the wall above it. That is why the opening is settled before the door is ordered, not after it has been made.
A permit, where one applies, is requested online through the Town's Development Portal, and the install waits for it. The driveway matters too. A single-detached house tops out at 6.0 m, a semi at 5.2 m and a townhouse at 3.0 m under the Town's guidance, which asks owners to confirm with Planning and reserves work on a Town-owned curb for Town staff or contractors the Town authorizes.
Booking garage door installation in Newmarket, photo to install day
A quote that will not change on install day needs real information: the location, the rough size of the opening, one door or two, the style and the glass, and a photo from outside and one from inside. The shop quotes from that, not from averages, which is why the price is a number and not a range.
Newmarket is 30 minutes (29.1 km) up the road from the Richmond Hill shop. Doors go in all year in Ontario, since the opening is exposed for only part of the visit and the last adjustments allow for the day's conditions. The old door and hardware leave with the crew, and the owner is shown the manual release and the remotes and keypad.
