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.

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.

Planning a new door5 questions
There is no honest single number, and anyone who gives you one over the phone is guessing. The price depends on the size of the opening, single or double, the material and insulation, the windows and hardware, and whether the existing tracks, springs and opener can stay. Modern Empire Doors gives you a real number quickly instead: text a photo of the door from outside and one from inside the garage to (647) 323-1826. The inside shot shows the tracks, springs and opener, which is where most of the difference in price lives. Estimates are free.
Two photos and your address. Take one of the door from outside, and one from inside the garage with the door closed, so we can see the tracks, the springs above the opening and the opener. Text both to (647) 323-1826. For most doors that is enough to price the job without anyone coming out first, and the estimate is free.
Most standard replacements are done in a single visit. The old door comes down, the new one goes up on its tracks and springs, and it is balanced and tested before we leave. Doors with more complicated framing, a change of size, or a new opener at the same time take longer. We tell you what to expect for your door when we quote it, not after we arrive, so you can plan the day around it.
Not always. Whether the opener can stay is part of the quote. The springs are sized to the new door, so a working opener is not asked to lift more weight; what matters is its age and condition. An opener from before about 1993 may use a fixed code that cheap equipment can copy, and a new door is a good moment to change it. A loud chain drive under a bedroom is the other reason people switch, usually to a quieter belt drive. We tell you which applies before you decide.
Our replacement doors are made in Canada and carry a lifetime warranty. Built for Canadian winters is not a slogan here: a door that seals properly in February is a different product from one that does not, and the difference shows up as cold air, noise and a bottom seal frozen to the floor. If you want the details for a particular door, ask when we quote it and we will go through them with you.
A door that won't work5 questions
Whatever failed sets the price, and Newmarket's snow, 122.2 cm in an average year, loads the seals, tracks and opener around it. By part that means spring size and whether it is one spring or two, the door's weight and height, a damaged cable or drum, and an opener strained by the breakdown. The price comes before the work, and is restated, with what changed, if the diagnosis differs from the phone description.
Most repairs end in a single visit, since the usual failing parts are on the van, and a single-door spring replacement runs about an hour. Longer jobs come from a part the van does not carry, a door off its track, or sections that have to be ordered, which can take a few weeks. Richmond Hill is 30 minutes and 29.1 km from Newmarket.
Mending a door means swapping parts, not changing the opening, and Newmarket's permit rules concern changes to openings. A spring, cable, roller, sensor or opener repair does not call for one.
Yes to both. The shop never closes, weekends and holidays included, and same-day service is available. Text two photos, a view of the door from the driveway and one from inside that takes in the springs, tracks and opener, and the van is stocked for the job.
If the sections are still straight and the fault is a spring, cable, rollers, hinges or the opener, repair is the answer. Bent or rusted sections, panels that are no longer made, a single-skin door on a heated house, or a run of repeat call-outs point towards a new door. One photo outside and one inside is enough to tell which, and if it is a repair, that is what you hear.

A broken spring. Torsion and extension springs fail more often than anything else by a wide margin; cables, off-track doors, worn rollers, sensors and seals make up the other usual repairs.
Asked next
Strands fray and the cable goes slack before it snaps. Rust at the bottom bracket, where water, snowmelt and road salt sit, is a common start, and a worn drum, a bent bracket or a rough track edge will also saw through a cable.
Asked next
If a door has crept up in volume over time, worn rollers and hinges are the likely cause, and that is a much smaller job than replacing the door. As a guide, grinding points to rollers or the opener gear, squealing to dry parts, rattling to loose hardware, and a single bang to a torsion spring.

Garage door repair in Newmarket: good to know.
What is different about garage door repair in Newmarket: the houses, the rules and the drive from the shop.
Garage door repair in Newmarket, part by part
A broken spring is the most common fault, torsion or extension, and it often takes cables, rollers and bearings with it, so those get checked first. A door off its track is usually fixable with rollers, cables or a straightened track section, but pushing it can crease the sections, and then a hardware repair becomes a panel replacement. Stop using it straight away.
Past that, the list runs through safety sensors, panels dented by a vehicle, weather seals and bottom rubber, hinges, bearings, rollers and the opener, on any make of door. A handful of parts account for most faults, and the symptom usually points to the right one. A tune-up is on offer as well, for a door that is not broken but is due a look.
Winter on a Newmarket garage door: seals, tracks and snow
Newmarket's snowfall averages 122.2 cm a year, so the seals, tracks and opener work harder through winter. The bottom seal should stay flexible and touch the floor along its whole width. A hardened or torn one lets water under the door to freeze it to the slab, the usual reason a door will not move on a cold morning.
Builder-grade doors that reach 15 to 25 years often arrive with the same short list: springs failed or about to go, worn rollers, a loud opener without battery backup and a hardened seal. New springs, rollers and a seal, with a tune-up, bring a straight, sound door back. A tune-up is on offer for a door that is not broken but is due a look.
Garage door repair in Newmarket when a section is damaged
A damaged section can be replaced on its own, but only if the same make, model, width, height, thickness, design, colour and insulation type is still made. Two or more damaged sections, or a discontinued model, usually mean a new door. A section the shop does not stock is ordered from the maker, and the wait can run to a few weeks.
Send a picture of the whole door and another of any label on it, and the shop can say whether one section is possible before anyone comes out. A new section can come out slightly brighter than a faded door beside it, more visibly on dark colours and woodgrain finishes. Richmond Hill is 30 minutes (29.1 km) from Newmarket, and any extra work is reported before it begins.
