Every Residential Garage Door Need — Under One Roof
Your Home’s Garage Door Handled Start to Finish — Repairs, Installs, Openers & More
Your home’s garage door is one of its most-used and most visible features — the average household operates it over 1,500 times per year. At SOS Garage Doors, we provide complete residential garage door services across the GTA — everything from emergency garage door repair and spring replacement to new door installation and opener upgrades. One company, one call, every residential garage door need covered, with licensed and insured technicians dispatched same-day across Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Oakville, and 17 more GTA cities.
Our residential services cover all types of home garages: single-car, double-car, detached, attached, and coach house. We service and install all major door brands including Clopay, CHI, Wayne Dalton, Amarr, and Garaga. Our full residential service menu includes full mechanical repair for all door components, torsion and extension spring replacement, cable repair and replacement, roller and hinge replacement, track alignment and adjustment, panel dent and damage repair, new garage door installation, opener installation and repair, keypad and remote programming, weatherstripping and bottom seal replacement, and preventative maintenance packages.
We understand that when your garage door fails, it rarely does so at a convenient time — early in the morning, late at night, or in the middle of a Canadian winter. That is why we offer same-day service seven days a week including holidays, and why our technicians carry the most commonly needed parts on every truck so most repairs are completed in a single visit. We also offer optional preventative maintenance visits — a full 25-point inspection and tune-up that catches developing problems before they become failures. For a full breakdown of any individual service including garage door panel replacement or commercial overhead door service, visit the individual service pages from the menu above.

Our Residential Garage Door Services Include
Every service below is handled by our certified GTA technicians — same-day in most cases, with parts on every truck.
Garage Door Repair — All Components
Off-track doors, grinding noises, doors that won’t open or close, panels impacted by vehicles — our repair service covers every mechanical component of your residential door system. We diagnose the root cause and fix it right the first time.
Torsion & Extension Spring Replacement
Broken or worn springs are the most common residential garage door failure. We replace both springs at once using correctly specified high-cycle springs rated for your door’s weight — with a full safety protocol and balance check included.
Lift Cable Repair & Replacement
Frayed, snapped, or drum-slipped cables are a safety hazard. We replace both cables simultaneously with galvanized steel cable rated for your door weight, inspect the drums and bottom brackets, and rebalance the door before leaving.
Opener Repair & Replacement
All opener brands serviced including Chamberlain, LiftMaster, Genie, and Craftsman. Motor drive gear replacement, logic board repair, sensor realignment, and full opener replacement with programming — all in one visit.
New Garage Door Installation
Full installation service — free in-home consultation, old door removal, new door fitting with correct spring and hardware configuration, opener integration, and complete testing. Same-week installation available on most selections.
Panel Replacement & Dent Repair
Dented or damaged panels do not always mean a full door replacement. We source factory-matched replacement panels for all major door brands and complete the swap including balance check — restoring both function and curb appeal.
Keypad & Remote Programming
Unresponsive keypads, remotes that have lost sync, forgotten entry codes, and HomeLink vehicle programming — all handled same-day. We carry replacement keypads and universal remotes for all major opener brands.
Roller, Hinge & Track Service
Worn steel rollers cause noise and vibration. Upgrade to 13-ball nylon rollers for dramatically quieter operation. Bent tracks, loose hardware, and damaged hinges are all diagnosed and repaired as part of our standard repair service.
25-Point Preventative Maintenance
Annual maintenance catches problems before they become failures. Our full inspection covers spring condition, cable wear, roller and hinge health, track alignment, weatherstripping, balance, opener calibration, and auto-reverse safety test.

Frequently Asked Questions — Residential Garage Door Services
Questions we answer every day from homeowners across the GTA.
In most GTA cities we can dispatch a certified technician within 1–3 hours of your call. Same-day service is available seven days a week including weekends and holidays.

We service all major residential brands including Clopay, CHI, Wayne Dalton, Amarr, Martin, and Garaga. For openers, we service Chamberlain, LiftMaster, Genie, Craftsman, and more.
If the door’s panels are intact and the issue is mechanical — spring, cable, opener, rollers — repair is almost always the right call. If three or more panels are damaged, the door is over 20 years old, and repair costs exceed 60% of a new door, replacement may offer better long-term value. Our technicians give you both options with transparent pricing.
Yes, in most cases. Our trucks are stocked with the most common parts so the majority of repairs are completed in a single same-day visit. For specialty parts or less common configurations, we source and return quickly.
Noise usually indicates worn rollers, lack of lubrication, or loose hardware — all easily fixed with a tune-up. However, grinding or banging sounds can indicate imminent spring or cable failure. Call us and describe the sound — we can often advise over the phone.
Our 25-point annual maintenance service covers every component of your door system. It is the single best way to extend the life of your door, prevent unexpected failures, and keep your opener running efficiently.
Yes. All labour carries a minimum 90-day warranty. Parts carry the manufacturer’s warranty ranging from 1 year to lifetime on premium high-cycle springs. We provide written warranty documentation with every job.
