Toronto installation pricing depends on door size and material. A single-car 9x7 insulated steel door installed costs $1,200 to $1,800. A double-car 16x7 insulated steel door installed costs $1,800 to $2,800. A carriage-house wood-look insulated door runs $2,200 to $4,500, and premium full-glass aluminium modern doors run $3,500 to $6,500. Toronto's downtown infill builds in Liberty Village and CityPlace often spec the higher full-glass tier, and Yorkville and Rosedale heritage homes commonly select the carriage tier in muted dark colours.

A single-car install in Toronto takes 4 to 6 hours, a double-car install takes 6 to 9 hours, and a premium full-glass aluminium install runs a full day. The visit covers removal and haul-away of your old door and tracks (included at no extra charge), framing and header check, new door section assembly, track and torsion spring installation, opener mounting and programming (a new opener is optional from $630; the door price does not include one), balance and safety sensor calibration, and a customer walkthrough. You do not need a City of Toronto building permit to swap a residential garage door like-for-like — only structural changes to the opening would require one — so most installs are booked and completed in a single day. We handle both residential homes and commercial or overhead doors for condo parking decks and industrial units. Toronto downtown condo townhouse installs in CityPlace and Liberty Village add 1 to 2 hours for building access coordination and elevator booking.

Toronto homeowners pick four main installation styles. Yorkville and Rosedale historic homes most often choose carriage-house doors in muted charcoal, deep green, or matte black. Liberty Village and CityPlace modern infills go full-glass contemporary in smoked or frosted aluminium. Scarborough and East York postwar bungalows usually install traditional raised-panel in white or almond. Don Mills and Leaside mid-century homes are trending modern flush in dark grey. On materials: insulated steel is the practical default for Toronto's freeze-thaw climate — strong, low-maintenance, and best value; aluminium with full glass suits the downtown contemporary look but is the priciest and least insulating; fibreglass resists dents and the lake-effect humidity off Lake Ontario without rusting, good for Etobicoke and Beaches waterfront lots; and real cedar or wood-overlay delivers the highest-end carriage look for Forest Hill and Rosedale estates but needs periodic refinishing in our wet winters. We stock Garaga, Clopay Premium, and Amarr Classica lines to suit each neighbourhood.

Yes, every new install in Toronto offers R-12, R-16, and R-18 polyurethane-core options. Toronto winters call for R-16 minimum on attached garages used as workshops, gyms, or laundry rooms, which is most homes built after 2000. Detached garages in older Riverdale or Cabbagetown lots can run R-12 fine. Top brands stocked are Garaga (Quebec-built for Canadian winters), Clopay Premium Series, and Amarr Classica, all with thermal breaks and weatherseal.

Yes, Toronto installs include plain glass, frosted privacy, decorative leaded, and full-glass contemporary window options. Liberty Village and CityPlace modern infills are going full-glass smoked aluminium across the whole door for daylight. Yorkville and Rosedale carriage installs typically place decorative leaded windows in the upper section only. Scarborough and Etobicoke traditional installs trend top-row plain glass for kerb appeal without losing privacy. Frosted glass blocks neighbour sightlines while keeping daylight in north-facing garages.

Toronto's polar-vortex dips to -20°C make insulation the most important install decision. We recommend a minimum R-12 polyurethane core for detached garages in older Riverdale or Cabbagetown lots, and R-16 for attached garages used as workshops or gyms in homes built after 2000. A thermal-break door also blunts the summer heat-island effect that warps uninsulated steel.

Yes — we install across the full City of Toronto, from detached homes in Scarborough, North York, and Etobicoke to stacked townhouse garages in Liberty Village and condo parking decks downtown. Every install is backed by 1-year labour, 5-year hardware, and a lifetime panel warranty against rust-through perforation, with building-access coordination handled for CityPlace and Yorkville sites.
