Residential Garage Doors
Designed and built for cold climates, garage doors from Les Industries André Inc. provide reliable protection against extreme weather conditions. Their strength and weathertightness come from the materials used in their manufacturing. Injected with polyurethane foam, they offer superior insulation.
Frequently asked questions
What insulation value (R-value) should I choose for my garage door?
For an attached or heated garage in our climate, a highly insulated door like the Garaga Standard+ (R-16) makes a real difference in comfort and heating costs. For a detached, unheated garage, a lower insulation level may be enough.
Do you repair existing doors (springs, cables, openers)?
Yes. Our service team repairs springs, cables, tracks, panels and openers of most brands, and can replace the opener on an existing door.
What brands do you offer?
Garaga doors, made in Quebec, and LiftMaster openers, among others. We guide you according to your budget and the style of your home.
Can the opener work during a power outage?
Yes. Several LiftMaster models come with an integrated battery backup that opens and closes the door even during a power outage, and every model has a manual release.
How long does a garage door last?
A well-maintained garage door generally lasts 15 to 30 years, depending on the material, frequency of use and maintenance. The opener typically lasts 10 to 15 years. Regular maintenance significantly extends the life of both.
A spring is broken: should I replace both?
Yes, it is strongly recommended: both springs have accumulated the same wear, and when one breaks, the other usually follows soon after. Springs are under very high tension — replacement must be done by a qualified technician, never on your own.
How often should I service my garage door?
A professional annual tune-up is recommended to check springs, cables, rollers and the opener before a problem becomes a breakdown. Between visits, a silicone lubrication of hinges, rollers and tracks about twice a year keeps the door quiet and smooth.
Repair or replace my garage door?
A broken spring or cable is an easy repair. But if the door is over 15-20 years old, repairs keep piling up or panels are damaged, replacement often becomes the more economical choice — especially since a modern insulated door (R-16) cuts heating costs. Our team gives you a straight answer, no pressure.
