What’s included
Four facesa modern door can take.
A modern door for a Scarborough house is chosen for the house it goes on and ordered to the opening, 35 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
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
Each section is glass in an aluminium frame. Frosted gives privacy, clear suits workshops.
- Aluminium frames
- Frosted or clear glass
- Insulated glazing
- Daylight in the garage
04Lites
Glass in a row or column
Lites can go in a top row or in a side column, and that choice changes the look more than any other.
- 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.

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.

Planning a new door5 questions
The price is one figure, set before work and based on two photos of the door, inside and out. Glass swings it more than most choices: plain panels, glass inserts, frosted or obscured glass and insulated glazing all price differently. Material, insulation, size, one door or two, finish and hardware follow.
Once the door exists, a standard replacement is normally a same-day job. The wait is in the making. A modern door is built to size, so the lead time follows the model, finish and season, and you get a date when the order goes in. The drive from the shop, about 35 minutes, has nothing to do with it.
Normally no. A modern door in the old opening is a like-for-like swap, and a same-size replacement usually needs no building permit. Scarborough sits inside the City of Toronto, so any permit that does apply comes from the City.
Black and graphite are the familiar modern colours. Insulated steel can also carry a wood-look finish, which needs no refinishing, insulates better and loads the hardware less than real wood. Panels are flush or full-view, with aluminium and glass for newer builds. Colour and style are chosen against the front door and trim, so the two doors read as a pair.
Sometimes. An opener guides a balanced door; it does not lift one, so balance comes first. A heavier door, an insulated one for instance, needs springs sized to its weight, and an opener that has strained against the old door deserves replacing in the same visit. A jackshaft mounted beside the door is quiet and frees the ceiling, but it needs torsion springs and room at the side.
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.

Modern styles are flush panel, full-view glass and aluminium with glass, usually in black, graphite or a wood-look finish. Carriage-house styling with decorative hardware is the traditional look.

It depends on steel gauge and build. An insulated door, with foam or board between two skins, dents less than a single steel skin.

Wood-look finishes on insulated steel need no refinishing, which real wood does. Fibreglass and vinyl also give up some appearance in exchange for low maintenance.

The guide
Modern garage doors in Scarborough: good to know.
What is different about modern garage doors in Scarborough: the houses, the rules and the drive from the shop.
Modern garage doors in Scarborough: the styles and what goes with them
Flush panel, full-view glass and aluminium with glass are what most people mean by modern. Glass can be plain, frosted or obscured for privacy, or insulated glazing, and each steps the quote up or down. Carriage-house styling, decorative hardware and custom colour matching move the figure as well.
The order of decisions is insulation, then construction, then panel style, colour and top-section windows. Hardware and the opener come last, once the door's weight is known.
Modern garage door permits in Scarborough
The new door goes in the opening the old one leaves. If that opening widens or rises, the header changes. That is structural and normally means a permit, sometimes an engineer, issued in Scarborough by the City of Toronto, so a wider door is not ordered until the opening is settled.
Condominium and townhouse corporations can set their own style and colour rules. Check a black or graphite door with the corporation first, because the City's answer about the opening says nothing about them.
How a modern garage door is chosen and ordered for Scarborough
Pricing begins with two photos and costs nothing. The opening is measured, style and finish are chosen against the front door and trim, and the door is ordered to size.
The crew comes from the Richmond Hill shop, about 35 minutes away and 30 km by road. Install day ends with the door hung, balanced and tested, and the manual release and remotes shown.
