Garage door repair north york - Chow Chow Garage Doors technician at work

North York is dominated by post-war bungalows and side-splits on generous lots, a great many of which still have the door that came with the house or its first replacement.

What we get called for in North York

The recurring job here is age. A door from the seventies or eighties on original hardware has long passed the cycle life of its springs, and the failures arrive together — a spring goes, then a cable, then the rollers, because everything has done the same thirty years. When we are called for one of those on an older North York bungalow it is usually worth pricing the whole set of moving parts rather than one item at a time. The other pattern is the large infill rebuilds that have replaced many of those bungalows: much bigger openings, often two doors, frequently eight feet tall, and almost always insulated doors that need correctly rated springs rather than whatever came off the last one.

What we do here

Before you call

Two things make the visit faster. First, the symptom — the noise it made, whether the door moves at all, and whether the opener runs. Second, if you can see it, the make on the door or on the opener housing. With those we can usually name the likely cause and the price before anyone drives to North York.

Getting to you

North York is inside the area we cover, not a special trip. You will get a real answer on timing when you get in touch — if we cannot be there quickly we would rather say so than leave you waiting on a door that is stuck open.
