The True North Standard
Complete Garage Door Installation Solutions
A professionally installed garage door is essential for the safety, efficiency and appearance of your property. It is the largest moving part of most homes, and it only performs as well as the installation behind it. True North Overhead Doors LTD installs residential and commercial garage doors across Calgary, Strathmore, Chestermere, Airdrie and the surrounding Central Alberta communities — measured precisely, mounted securely and tested thoroughly before we call the job done.
Whether you are upgrading an aging door, replacing storm damage or finishing a new build or shop, owner Kevin brings 14+ years of hands-on installation experience to every project. We help you choose a door that fits your home's style, your insulation needs and your budget — then install it with the spring tension, track alignment and weather sealing that Alberta's freeze-thaw cycles demand.

Know the Signs
Signs You May Need a New Garage Door
A door that is fighting you every day is telling you something. Replacement is usually the smarter investment when you notice:
- Excessive noise, shaking or slow, uneven movement
- Visible panel damage, rust, cracking or warping
- Frequent breakdowns and repeat repair bills
- An older door with no insulation — a real cost in a Calgary winter
- Missing modern safety features like photo-eye sensors
- Curb appeal that is dragging down the rest of the property

Common Questions
Garage Door Installation FAQs
Door upgrades start at $1,750 for smaller residential doors and go up from there depending on size, design and the install application — premium wood-look and glass doors sit well above that. We provide free, up-front quotes with no hidden fees, and there's no call-out fee for a daytime visit. One Google reviewer noted our new door and motor came in cheaper than Home Depot.
A standard single or double residential door is typically installed in three to five hours, including removal of the old door, opener hookup and full safety testing. New-construction and commercial installs vary with site conditions.
In Central Alberta, we strongly recommend it. An insulated door keeps attached garages warmer in -30°C cold snaps, protects vehicles and stored items, reduces noise and improves energy efficiency for heated garages and shops.
Yes. We install steel raised-panel, flush modern, carriage-house and wood-look doors in a range of colours and window options, and we'll bring samples and recommendations tailored to your home.
