Common Questions

In most cases, a simple replacement of an existing door with one of the same size does not require a permit. However, if you are enlarging the opening or making structural changes to the header, a permit is required, typically costing between $100 and $250.

Due to Ottawa's extreme winters, experts recommend an R-value of at least R-12 to R-18. Insulated polyurethane doors in this range typically add $400 to $800 to the project cost but can significantly reduce heating bills.

A single double-car door (16x7 ft) is generally more cost-effective, ranging from $2,200 to $5,500 installed. Installing two separate single doors (8x7 ft) usually costs 15-20% more due to the requirement for two sets of tracks, two openers, and additional labor.

Usually, no. Standard quotes cover the door and hardware. A new belt-drive or smart opener typically adds $450 to $950 to the total bill, including professional installation and sensor alignment.
