New Garage Door

We made a contract end of October '16 with a big box store to install a new insulated garage door, they were offering a promotion on installation. For the first 3 weeks, we called to find out when they would be by to measure for the install. Each time we were told our order hadn't been properly processed (but it was now...) and given a new time for install. As the date kept getting pushed back we were in danger of not having a new door in time for winter. We called The Garage Door Depot and given a quote for a comparable door, with installation done by the day originally promised by the big box store. After cancelling the other contract we moved on with The Garage Door Depot. We were in a tight spot facing the idea of not having a garage door, explained our situation to TGDD & within 3 weeks of our call we had a brand new door of higher quality installed (beginning of December), and our garage contents insulated & protected from winter, not to mention our 2nd floor over the garage warm & toasty. Highly recommend The Garage Door Depot!

Garage door repair

I highly recommend Greg from The Garage Door Depot! He's extremely knowledgeable, efficient but at the same time provides great customer service. My builder installed door was not properly installed years ago and wss out of builders warranty. Greg was able to trouble shoot the problem right away over the phone, and knew exactly what to do and what parts were required. He fit us in right away the next day, and provided a thorough consultation and quote before performing any work. His service included a general tune up of the door to ensure it was in top working order above and beyond the repair itself. Thank you for the quality service!

Garage Door Replacement

Service with a smile! Greg did an excellent job and was a pleasure to meet and have at our home for an afternoon recently. He worked efficiently and left the garage spic 'n' span when done. We are thrilled with the new door.

Garage Door and Motor Replacement

When our garage door was broken Greg did not waste anytime coming over to give it a temporary fix while we waited for our order to arrive.
He was easy to communicate with and went above and beyond after the sale to make sure that we were satisfied with the product and his service.

While we do not plan on needing his services any time soon, I would gladly recommend Garage Door Depot to anyone.

Garage Door Opener Install

Greg is professional, courteous and knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the various openers available to me, listened to what I was looking for and made recommendations at different price points explaining the differences of each.

Greg also made adjustments to the door, spring and hardware to ensure the smooth, quiet operation of our door.

I would highly recommend Greg and Garage Door Depot to anyone!

Garage Door Repair

The cable on my garage door snapped recently due to rust. I called around to get some quote for to have the cable replaced and ran into several services that were obviously sub-contracting the work and charging almost $200.

Greg who owns this franchise in Ottawa was the third place I called. He was friendly, professional and gave me a much more reasonable quote than his competition. He came by on a Sunday and had the door working in no time. He also gave me some tips on how to deal with the rust on the bottom of the my door. I highly recommend him if you run into problems with your garage door. Thanks again Greg! --Mike Owen - Barrhaven, ON

Garage Door Repairs/Service

My garage door needed servicing and Greg and his trusty side kick Dodger (a beautiful boxer dog) spend a couple of hours working to get the door ship shape. He was on time, polite and cleaned up after himself....even going so far to mop up some spilled coffee off the drive way. The work was done professionally and I believe I got good value for my money. Would I recommend Greg to friends and neighbours? Yes....in fact I have already done so.

garage door repair

The Garage Door Depot website states that they service all makes and models. I called and had a repairman come. He told me they do not service my type of door. I would have to pay $250 to have the spring replaced, he would have to come back to do the work, and on top of that, I was expected to pay $100 for for the service call today. I called and spoke to a lady who said she was the service manager. She didn`t have any explanation as to why their website states that they service all makes and models, when if fact, they don`t. She told me I was lucky because they normally charge $150 for a service call. This appears to be false advertising, and is certainly very poor service.

Company Response

Thanks Tony for your review and I am sorry you did not have a great experience with our company. We strive at all times to deliver the highest level of service and support to our customers.

I did review your service experience with the dispatcher, the technician and the service manager involved. To start, we do service all makes and models on the market today. There are older doors out there which any door company would be challenged to service but by and large we can handle most any situation we encounter. In your case you have a unique torsion system on your door called a TorqueMaster. We can replace these systems when they fail however they are costly and don't provide the longer lifecycle that a standard exposed spring torsion system would provide. Thus we don't keep them in stock.

The exposed spring is often what we recommend to customers which is what happened in this case. Our technician offered to "convert" your system from a TorqueMaster to a standard torsion system. This is more expensive than a basic spring change as it requires our technician to replace other components on your door to allow the conversion. The technician did not have with him all components thus would have to return. Under normal circumstance, had you agreed to have us complete the conversion, your initial callout charge would not have been charged to you. We would have simply arranged to return with all parts and completed the job.

I would be more than happy to return to your home and have one of our technicians complete a conversion for you or replace the existing TorqueMaster. If you had us back for this, we would happily credit your first call back to you.

I look forward to making this right with you and getting your door working 100% and safely.

Yours truly. Dean. C. General Manager. Vancouver Branch.
