What’s included
Four facesa modern door can take.
A modern door for a North York house is chosen for the house it goes on and ordered to the opening, 30 minutes from the shop; a flush or glass door hung in the same opening is the kind the City of Toronto exempts from a building permit, and the size of the opening is what Toronto Building reviews, not the colour or the glass.
02Long panel
Long panel and planks
Pick a wood-look finish or painted steel. A few long lines run side to side on the door, lites above.
- Long-panel steel
- Painted steel
- Wood-look finish
- A row of clear lites
03Glass
Full-view glass doors
Aluminium frames with glass in every section, frosted for privacy or clear for a workshop.
- Aluminium frames
- Frosted or clear glass
- Insulated glazing
- Daylight in the garage
04Lites
Glass in a row or column
Where the lites go changes the face more than any other choice: a row along the top, or a column down one side.
- 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.

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.

Planning a new door5 questions
Glass is one of the larger swings. Plain panels, glass inserts, frosted lites and insulated glazing all price differently. Beyond that come material, insulation, size, finish and hardware. A look at the front of the house and the opening is enough to put one figure on a single door, and the estimate is free.
The hanging itself normally takes about a day for a standard replacement, once the door exists. Modern styles are made to order, so the wait before that depends on the maker and the season, and you get a date when you order. A custom size or a jamb repair adds time. Richmond Hill is 30 minutes away.
Not when it takes the place of the existing door in the same opening at the same size. A taller or wider opening is different: the header changes, which makes it structural, and that normally requires a City of Toronto permit. If you live in a condo, check whether the corporation has style and colour rules before you order.
Not by default. The existing opener can stay as long as the door is balanced, while hardware and any custom finish are priced with the door. A heavier door, insulated steel with a wood-look finish for example, needs springs sized to its weight, since the wrong springs wear out the opener, cables and rollers.
It can, provided the opening is measured carefully. Openings in older houses are often an odd size, so the door is ordered to fit and not taken from stock. The style is judged against the house: flush steel, long panel in a wood-look finish, or full-view glass, each set beside the front door and trim.
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.

Only through clear glass. Frosted or obscured glass passes light but hides what is parked inside, while clear glass suits a workshop where you want to see in. A full-view door has an aluminium frame with glass in each section, and insulated glazing is available.

Yes. A wood-look or carriage-style finish on insulated steel needs no refinishing, insulates better and loads the hardware less than real wood does. Real wood and wood composite cost a premium and need refinishing.

By judging the two together. Send a photo of the house's facade and we say, before you choose, what we would hang beside the front door and trim. Colour and style set against the entrance do more for the house than almost any single change.

The guide
Modern garage doors in North York: good to know.
What is different about modern garage doors in North York: the houses, the rules and the drive from the shop.
Modern garage doors in North York: styles, glass and finishes
Flat or long-panel faces replace the raised panels of a traditional door. In a full-view door an aluminium frame holds glass in every section, frosted or clear; with a steel door, the lites can sit in a band along the upper section or in one vertical strip at an edge. The finishes on offer are black, graphite and wood-look, the last on insulated steel that never needs refinishing.
The first step is a picture of the front of your house. Before you pick anything we tell you what we would put there, treating the garage door and front door as one composition, and one crew can hang both. People who buy these doors tend to talk about how the house looks afterwards, so the face of the door is settled before the order and not on installation day.
Modern garage door permits in North York
North York is part of the City of Toronto, so the City is the authority on any permit. Hanging a modern door in the existing opening at the same size is a straight swap. Widening or raising that opening changes the header, a structural element, and usually needs a permit and occasionally an engineer, so this is resolved before the door is ordered.
Condo corporations may set style and colour rules of their own, so a black or full-glass door is worth clearing with the board first. For the estimate, text two pictures, one taken outside and one inside, and the shop in Richmond Hill, 15.7 km away, will price from them.
