Do You Have a Showroom for Toronto Garage Doors?

You likely wouldn’t make other big purchases sight-unseen, so it doesn’t necessarily make sense to purchase a Toronto garage door that you’ve only seen in a couple of photos. Images can’t give you the same information you would get from seeing and touching the material in person, and it can be a big disappointment to order something based on a photo, only to realize when it arrives that it’s not at all what you were expecting.

That’s why we have a showroom in North York at 60 Wildcat Road where you can visit and see some models in person, as well as look at sample materials cut from actual garage doors so you can see the quality and durability of the material for yourself and judge whether it’s up to your personal standards. Don’t have the time or inclination to come out to our showroom location? No problem, our Toronto garage door sales team will just bring the showroom to you! Book a free, no-obligation, on-site estimate with Dodds Doors and our knowledgeable sales staff will bring the samples to you so you can browse through our most popular style option for Toronto garage doors and touch the actual material before you make a purchase decision.

Can a New Toronto Garage Door Improve My Property Value?

If you have plans to put your property up for sale on the local real estate market in the near future, it makes sense to look for projects that can enhance property value first, and a professional garage door installation service should be at the top of your list. This is especially true if you have an old or damaged garage door in Toronto that is showing a lot of wear and tear. 

Replacing your garage door in Toronto, ON before selling your property is not just about getting a good return on your investment in the sale price. It’s also a matter of keeping the selling period short and enticing prospective home buyers to make an offer. When a potential buyer comes to see your property, if they see a damaged and run-down garage door right away, it’s like a warning sign for them. They might not even bother looking at the rest of the property. A new Toronto garage door in excellent condition reassures buyers that the property has been well-maintained and won’t require immediate upgrades after purchase.

Can Your Toronto Garage Doors Withstand Extreme Temperatures?

Canadian homes are subjected to a wide range of temperatures and weather patterns over the course of a year, and of course, the Toronto area is no exception. Local homeowners and business owners need Toronto garage doors that can stand up to both very warm and very cold temperatures without showing any signs of warping or cracking under the pressure, but they also need to provide a thermal envelope that will be able to block out heat transfer and maintain interior energy efficiency. 

That’s exactly what you can expect from Dodds garage doors. Toronto, ON property owners, rest assured that we have the best quality of products to service this particular area and all the challenges that come along with it, including extreme temperatures.   

How Do I Prepare for a New Toronto Garage Door Installation?

When you’ve scheduled installation for a new garage door in Toronto, ON, there are a few steps you can take prior to the appointment day to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

• Remove vehicles and other large items from both inside the garage and outside near where your new Toronto garage door will be installed to ensure that our installation team has room to back our vehicle right up to the front of the garage.
• Move smaller items to the back or side of the garage, checking to make sure there’s at least a foot of clearance from the tracks on the side and 14 feet of clearance between the garage door and the back of the garage. This provides the necessary space to ensure the installation team has plenty of room to get all the components in place safely and efficiently.
• Plan to have children and pets safely contained in another part of the property or away from the property altogether where they can’t get in the way of the Toronto garage door installation process, for their own safety. 
• If your new Toronto garage door features a remote control, and you’d like help programming it for a specific vehicle, make sure that the vehicle is present at the property on the installation day.
