1. Liftime Ottawa Garage Door Service

Location: 46 Sagebrush Cres, Ottawa, ON K1T 0P9, Canada
Contact: +1 613-703-3921
Business hours: Daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Liftime Ottawa Garage Door Service shines with their impressive turnaround time! It’s one of the most mentioned things that their past clients said during our interviews, with some saying that the team arrives just a little over an hour after dropping the phone call.
We were also impressed by the variety of garage door services they offered. Starting with their garage door repairs, we loved how they can provide solutions for different damaged parts such as the springs and cables.
Furthermore, they can also lend their expertise to installing garage doors so if you’re just starting out in your new home, give them a call!
However, we did notice that although a lot of their clients were satisfied with their services, a handful mentioned that the repair and installation done weren’t as lasting as they had hoped.
Nonetheless, we still think that Liftime is one of the most reliable companies in the city mainly because of its 24-hour availability. As someone who’s gotten garage problems during the most inconvenient times, this is such a great luxury to have!
High-quality work
“After trying a couple of flaky door companies, I tried Michael. He got back to me right away. He was able to install my garage door opener the next day. He’s extremely confident and competent and produced high-quality work.
His colleague Alex finished my garage door, capping. High-quality, work high-quality materials and high-quality finish. I will definitely have them back again.”
-Matt Rousselle, Google Reviews
Efficient, worked quickly and was super kind
“We couldn’t be happier with our new garage door and were so impressed with the quality of the work. Michael and his team are extremely knowledgeable and professional. Communication is great and the service is very fast!”

2. ProTech Garage Doors

Services: Garage door repairs, lubrication, tune-up, spring and cable repairs
Location: 46 Grenfell Crescent, Nepean, ON K2G 0G4, Canada
Contact: +1 613-845-9950
Business hours: Open 24 hours
ProTech Garage Doors is another company you can rely on during those emergency cases thanks to their 24-hour availability.
Their services are quite varied as well, featuring repairs for different parts of a typical garage door. For instance, they can efficiently fix usual defective parts such as sensors, springs as well as cables.
They also offer maintenance for garage doors, more specifically lubrication, which can answer issues like noisiness, slowness and opening malfunctions. Furthermore, we also appreciate that they can fix small garage doors and dents.
One thing they could improve upon, however, is their communication skills. Some of their past clients complained that the company sometimes forgets important details during the initial phone calls such as the agreed time and date.
On the other hand, they’re quick to respond to calls, promising same-day services within 24 hours of the client’s call.
Surpassed all our expectations
“If you want flawless results, look no more! The service was outstanding, with great attention to detail and a tailored approach that ensured we got exactly what we envisioned.
Our garage doors surpassed all our expectations. Hats off to Sandhu, Samir and Oudeh for their exceptional work! Keep enhancing the look of our homes, one house at a time!”
-Khaled Abdalla, Google Review
We were very pleased
“Today, ProTech installed our new garage door (purchased through Costco) and opener. Sandhu arrived promptly just before the beginning of the appointment window.
He was polite, and friendly and worked super efficiently to take down the old door and put the new one in place, as well as the new opener. We were very pleased with the product quality and the installation work done.
We will not hesitate to recommend ProTech to our friends and neighbours. Thank you for a job well done!”

3. Door Doctor Ottawa

Services: Residential repair service, commercial repair service, damaged door panel repairs
Location: 5649 Power Rd, Ottawa, ON K1G 3N4, Canada
Contact: +1 613-749-3667
Business hours: Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM
Door Doctor Ottawa immediately caught our attention because of its name. During our brief conversation, we immediately understood why because of their expertise in fixing just about every condition that a garage could go through in its lifetime.
For starters, they offer various solutions for damaged door panels, from small dents to huge gaping holes. We also appreciate how they recognise the importance of having these fixed, as they know how it can affect the thermal insulation.
We called them once to fix our electric door opener and watching the specialist was a thing of beauty. They started by identifying the root of the problem by checking the bell wire, and the motors and once they were sure, it was immediately go-time.
Apart from that, they also offer solutions for problems such as damaged weather stripping, damaged torsions and extension springs and damaged hardware. We’re just a bit iffy about their pricey rates.
Apart from that, Door Doctor is one of the most reliable garage door fixers in Ottawa, making them worth the expense in our books.
Super happy with the service
“Had such a great recent experience. Stephanie J. was an excellent sales representative. She was super responsive in her emails and provided such a thorough, itemized quote at the start that when she came by to measure everything, I was not surprised by the final price tag.
I’d also like to give a huge thanks to the technicians, Tyler and Seb, who worked super quickly and were incredibly professional in removing an old garage door & opener and installing a new door and opener system. Super happy with the service! Thank you!”
-Katy S, Google Review
I would recommend this team 100%
“I recently had Door Doctor install my garage door and flashing, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with their service. The two installers were exceptionally professional and courteous.
They arrived on time, completed the job with precision, and ensured everything was cleaned up afterwards. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality were evident throughout the process.
I chose Door Doctor based on the glowing recommendations from my two next-door neighbours, who had their garage doors installed a year ago, and I’m glad I did. I highly recommend Door Doctors for their outstanding service and workmanship.”

4. Ottawa Garage Doors Repairs and Openers

Services: Spring replacement, cable replacement, garage door installation, tune-ups
Contact: +1 613-627-3028
Business hours: Daily from 6:00 AM to 11:00 PM
Ottawa Garage Doors Repairs and Openers is widely praised by their past clients because of how fast their response time is. For instance, our reputable source (AKA our neighbor), stated that a technician was sent to their home just around 30 minutes after the call.
What impressed us the most about them, however, is their wide array of services that can cater to different types of damages. The perfect example of this is their spring replacement service, which is one of the most common issues that garage doors have.
We also appreciate their approach to every damage, as they begin with a thorough inspection and give their recommendations. The technician will then install the required piece and test it as much as possible to make sure that it’s good for another 5 or 7 years.
Lastly, we love that they offer emergency services for specific cases such as the doors being off track or when they make too much noise when opening. These services are available 24/7 and their response time is impeccable.
While their prices are on the more expensive side, they do seem reasonable because of their amazing turnaround time and wide variety of fixes.
Alex was a very pleasant person to deal with
“Garage door spring broke yesterday morning. 30 minutes after I called, Alex was at my door with replacement springs and all was fixed pronto.
Alex explained what he was going to do, how much it would cost, and how to lubricate the springs afterwards to prolong their lifespan. It took about an hour, everything was left clean and Alex was a very pleasant person to deal with.”
-Wayne Conlan, Google Review
Courteous, informative and extremely careful
“Simply Amazing. We called, they answered, sent a technician the same day and both our garage door springs were replaced as estimated.
Marco the tech, was courteous, informative, and extremely careful with maneuvering around our parked car (stuck) in the garage.
We’d call on Ottawa Garage Doors & Openers without a second thought when needed again. Thank you!”

5. Berintek – Garage Door Repair Ottawa

Services: Weatherstripping, repair, garage door installation
Location: 459 Warmstone Dr, Ottawa, ON K2S 0K6, Canada
Contact: +1 613-612-8733
Business hours: Open 24 hours
With over 25 years of experience in the industry, it’s still surprising to consider Berintek as a small business. With that being said, they still act like one of the big names, offering a wide array of garage door repairs and a nifty 24/7 emergency service.
Their garage door services range from insulation installation to panel repairs, lock repairs and more. We’ve worked with them previously for their garage door opener remote repair, and the best word to describe their service is efficient.
We called them in the middle of the night and their customer service immediately picked up the phone. From the moment we hung up, it was less than an hour before one of their technicians rang our doorbell, which is a pretty impressive response time.
Plus, their technicians are courteous and professional, which are two traits you need to look for as well in a garage door repairman. Before leaving, he left us some tips on how to avoid doing the same damage to our remote, which we highly appreciated.
We do wish that they could lessen their rates to be a bit more reasonable for potential clients who don’t have a lot of wiggle room in their budget.
More than impressed
“Highly recommended. I was more than impressed by getting a quote to schedule service for the actual garage door replacement. Very professional, kind and efficient. I was extremely happy to have chosen Berintek.”
-Francine Nadon, Google Review
The job was done quickly
“My garage door spring snapped after 20 years and we decided to try out a local small business for the repair. Their tech was able to come by and fix it the same day.
Leo was a well-spoken and professional young man who clearly knew the industry well. The price was fair and the job was done quickly. 100% recommend for all your Garage Door needs.”
