New Garage Door Sales & Professional Installation for Edmonton Homeowners

A garage door is the largest moving component of any home and one of the first things people notice from the street. In Edmonton, it also has to survive some of the harshest winter conditions in Canada. Temperatures that plunge to -40°C, months of sustained cold without the Chinook relief that Calgary and southern Alberta enjoy, and freeze-thaw cycles that test every seal, spring, and panel — your garage door needs to handle all of it while still looking great.

At Garage Door Fix, we bring Edmonton homeowners access to brands and options you simply won’t find with other local dealers. As Canada’s only authorized Ryterna dealer, we offer premium European-engineered garage doors alongside trusted North American brands like Amarr, Steel-Craft, Garaga, and Northland. Whether you need a budget-friendly replacement or a fully custom statement piece, our Edmonton team has the products and experience to match.

With over 2,500 five-star Google reviews across our locations and thousands of garage door installations under our belt, we know what performs in Edmonton’s climate and what doesn’t. That hands-on knowledge informs every recommendation we make.

Why Edmonton Homeowners Trust Garage Door Fix for New Doors

Edmonton’s climate presents unique challenges that set it apart from most Canadian cities. Unlike Calgary, which experiences Chinook winds that bring periodic warm spells throughout winter, Edmonton endures long, uninterrupted stretches of extreme cold. The city regularly sees temperatures below -30°C, with cold snaps dipping to -40°C or lower. Combined with river valley humidity that accelerates corrosion, and frost heaving that can shift garage floors and knock tracks out of alignment, your door choice matters more here than almost anywhere else in the country.

How to Choose the Right Garage Door for Edmonton’s Climate

Exclusive Ryterna Access: We’re the only dealer in Canada offering Ryterna’s European-engineered garage doors. Made-to-measure at no extra cost, with 25,000-cycle springs that last roughly 17 years — over twice the industry standard.

Multi-Brand Selection: We carry Amarr, Steel-Craft, Garaga, and Northland so you can compare options across price points, all from one trusted supplier.

Edmonton Climate Expertise: Our technicians know the difference between doors that hold up at -25°C and doors that hold up at -40°C. We’ll steer you toward the right R-value, the right weatherstripping, and the right hardware for Edmonton’s conditions.

Professional Installation: Every install is handled by our trained team — from old door removal through final spring adjustment and opener calibration. We triple-check balance, seal fit, and track alignment before we leave.

No Hidden Fees: The price we quote is the price you pay. No surprise charges for weekends, evenings, or holidays.

Insulation Requirements: R-Value Guide for Edmonton

The R-value of a garage door measures its resistance to heat flow — the higher the number, the better the insulation. Here’s what we recommend based on how you use your garage:

Garage Setup	Recommended R-Value	Why It Matters in Edmonton
Attached, heated garage	R-16 or higher	Prevents massive heat loss through the largest opening in your home. At -40°C, under-insulated doors cause furnaces to work overtime.
Attached, unheated garage	R-12 to R-16	Keeps the buffer zone above freezing, protecting plumbing, stored items, and the wall shared with your living space.
Workshop or home gym	R-16 to R-18+	If you heat the space for regular use, high R-value is essential to avoid burning energy. Consider Ryterna’s 60mm or 80mm panels.
Detached, unheated garage	R-8 to R-12	Even without heating, insulation prevents interior frost, condensation damage, and extreme temperature swings on stored vehicles.

Important: Polyurethane foam insulation (used in Ryterna, Amarr, and quality Northland doors) provides roughly twice the insulating value per inch compared to polystyrene panels. When comparing doors, always check the insulation type — not just the thickness.

Standard Garage Door Sizes in Edmonton

Most Edmonton homes follow standard Western Canadian sizing. Single-car garages are typically 9×7 feet (common in townhouses and duplexes across Mill Woods, Terwillegar, and Summerside) or 8×7 feet. Double-car garages — the most popular configuration in Edmonton suburbs like Windermere, The Hamptons, and Ambleside — are usually 16×7 feet, with 16×8 becoming more common in newer builds to accommodate taller SUVs and trucks.

For oversized vehicles or RV storage, heights of 10 to 14 feet are available. Ryterna can manufacture doors up to 8 metres wide and 3 metres tall, all custom-built to your exact measurements at no additional cost — a major advantage over North American brands that charge premiums for non-standard dimensions.

Garage Door Brands Available in Edmonton

Ryterna — Premium European Garage Doors (Exclusive to Garage Door Fix in Canada)

Ryterna is a European manufacturer based in Kaunas, Lithuania, producing approximately 80,000 doors per year with over 520 employees. Their approach is fundamentally different from North American manufacturers: every Ryterna door is built to your exact specifications from the ground up, with no extra charge for custom sizes. This makes them an outstanding choice for Edmonton homes with non-standard openings.

What sets Ryterna apart for Edmonton:

25,000-cycle torsion springs as standard — lasting approximately 17 years of typical residential use. Most North American brands include 10,000-cycle springs that last around 7 years. Edmonton’s sustained cold puts extra stress on springs, making this extended rating especially valuable here. Spring replacement typically costs $380–$480, so longer-lasting springs mean significant savings over the life of the door.

Four panel thickness options with Freon-free polyurethane foam insulation. For Edmonton, we typically recommend the 40mm (1⅝″) panel for residential homes or the 60mm (2⅜″) panel for heated workshops and garages used year-round.

Panel Thickness	U-Value	Noise Reduction	Recommended For
30mm (1¼″)	~1.3 W/(m²·K)	-22 dB	Mild climates (not ideal for Edmonton)
★ 40mm (1⅝″)	~1.1 W/(m²·K)	-25 dB	Most Edmonton homes
60mm (2⅜″)	~0.8 W/(m²·K)	-28 dB	Heated garages, workshops
80mm (3⅛″)	0.5 W/(m²·K)	-32 dB	Commercial, industrial

Unlimited customization: Ryterna doors can be factory-painted to any RAL colour (200+ options), finished in woodgrain, stucco, or metallic textures, and fitted with a range of window styles from porthole to full-view glazing. Premium collections include the Alumax line (milled aluminum cladding for custom designs), the Okoume wood collection (marine-grade hardwood over steel), and the Retro carriage house collection for heritage-style aesthetics with modern engineering.

Ryterna warranty: 10 years on panels (rust-through and foam delamination), 5 years on springs, cables, drums, rollers, and hinges.

Amarr — Versatile North American Quality

Amarr is one of the largest garage door manufacturers in North America, offering a broad lineup that covers everything from entry-level steel doors to premium wood-composite designs. Their Stratford, Hillcrest, and Oak Summit collections are popular choices among Edmonton homeowners looking for reliable, well-insulated doors in the mid-price range. Amarr doors are available with Intellicore polyurethane insulation for strong thermal performance, and their colour palette covers the most popular options for Western Canadian homes.

Steel-Craft — Canadian-Made Durability

Steel-Craft is a Canadian manufacturer based in Edmonton’s neighbouring province, producing doors designed specifically for our climate. Their doors are available in R-12 and R-16 insulation values and come in a range of traditional and contemporary panel styles. As a Canadian-made product, Steel-Craft doors are built with our winters in mind, and replacement parts are readily available.

Garaga — Premium Canadian Craftsmanship

Garaga is a Quebec-based manufacturer known for high-quality residential and commercial doors. Their Acadia and Cambridge collections offer clean contemporary lines with excellent insulation ratings. Garaga’s ThermoGuard system provides weather-tight seals along the full perimeter of the door — particularly valuable in Edmonton where wind-driven snow and ice infiltration are constant winter concerns.

Northland — Budget-Friendly Reliability

Northland garage doors are a smart choice for Edmonton homeowners who want a well-insulated, reliable door without the premium price tag. Available in R-12 and R-16 insulation options, Northland offers multiple panel styles including Classic CC, Classic XL, North Hatley, Flush, and Grooved profiles. Colour options include White, Almond, Brown, Black, Charcoal, and more. For rental properties, basement suite builds, or budget-conscious renovations, Northland delivers solid value.

Specialty Garage Door Types Available in Edmonton

Beyond standard overhead sectional garage doors, our Ryterna partnership gives Edmonton homeowners access to specialty door types that most local companies simply cannot offer. Here’s an overview of what’s available:

Walk-Through Garage Doors (Wicket Doors)

A walk-through door — also called a wicket door or pass-through door — is a standard-sized pedestrian door built directly into a sectional garage door panel. It lets you enter or exit the garage without raising the entire door, which is a practical advantage in Edmonton’s winters: you avoid releasing heat from a heated garage every time you need quick access, and you don’t have to deal with frozen or snow-packed driveways blocking the door’s path. Walk-through doors are factory-integrated by Ryterna for a clean, weather-tight fit. The typical cost premium over a standard door is $1,200 – $1,600

Side-Hinged Garage Doors

Side-hinged doors swing outward like traditional barn-style doors, but with modern insulated steel panels and full weatherstripping. They’re an excellent solution for garages with low headroom, ceiling-mounted storage systems, or obstructions that prevent standard overhead track installation. Ryterna’s side-hinged doors are available in the same colours, finishes, and panel thicknesses as their sectional range, so you don’t sacrifice aesthetics or insulation for functionality.

Side-Sliding Garage Doors

Side-sliding doors operate horizontally along the interior wall of the garage rather than lifting overhead. This design is ideal for garages with vehicle lifts, mezzanine storage, or limited ceiling clearance. They’re also a practical choice when you want to partially open the door for ventilation or pedestrian access without fully retracting it. Available through Ryterna with the same insulation and customization options as standard sectional doors.

Matching Garage and Entry Door Sets

Ryterna manufactures both garage doors and front entry doors, allowing Edmonton homeowners to create a unified exterior with coordinated colours, materials, and design elements. Matching sets are a simple way to boost curb appeal and are increasingly popular in newer Edmonton communities like Windermere, Keswick, and Edgemont where architectural cohesion is valued.

Serving All Edmonton Neighbourhoods

Our Edmonton team installs new garage doors across the entire city and surrounding areas. We’ve completed installations in established communities and new developments alike, including:

South Edmonton: Windermere, Summerside, Ellerslie, Rutherford, Callaghan, Ambleside, Keswick, Heritage Valley, and Blackmud Creek.

West Edmonton: Lewis Estates, Glastonbury, Secord, Rosenthal, The Hamptons, and Edgemont.

Central & Mature Neighbourhoods: Strathcona, Bonnie Doon, Ottewell, Capilano, Ritchie, Holyrood, and King Edward Park.

North Edmonton: McConachie, Cy Becker, Starling, Crystallina Nera, and Lago Lindo.

Surrounding Areas: Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Leduc, Spruce Grove, Fort Saskatchewan, Beaumont, and Stony Plain.

Newer developments in south and west Edmonton often come with builder-grade garage doors equipped with minimal insulation and basic 10,000-cycle springs. If your home is under five years old and you’re already experiencing spring failures, noisy operation, or poor sealing, an upgrade is likely worth the investment.

What to Expect During Your Garage Door Installation

A standard residential garage door installation in Edmonton takes 3 to 6 hours and follows this process:

Pre-installation consultation: We measure your opening, assess your current setup, and confirm your door selection, colour, and any add-ons like windows or walk-through doors.
Old door removal: Our team carefully removes your existing door, tracks, springs, and hardware. We dispose of old materials responsibly.
New door installation: We install tracks, panels, springs, cables, and all hardware. Every component is adjusted for your specific door weight and opening dimensions.
Opener integration: If you’re keeping your existing opener, we connect and calibrate it to the new door. If you need a new opener, we recommend and install LiftMaster units for proven cold-weather reliability.
Final inspection: We test balance, seal fit, safety reversal, and smooth operation. We’ll walk you through maintenance tips specific to Edmonton’s climate before we leave.

Complex installations involving custom sizes, electrical work, or frame modifications may require a full day. We’ll let you know ahead of time so there are no surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying a Garage Door in Edmonton

How much does a new garage door cost in Edmonton?

A new insulated garage door in Edmonton starts at approximately $2,195 + GST for a single-car door and $2,650 + GST for a standard 16×7 double-car door. These prices include professional installation. Premium options like custom-colour Ryterna doors, specialty door types (walk-through, side-hinged), or higher-insulation models will increase the cost. Contact us for a free quote based on your specific requirements.

What R-value garage door do I need in Edmonton?

For Edmonton’s extreme climate, we recommend a minimum of R-12 for any garage door, with R-16 or higher strongly recommended for attached, heated garages. If you use your garage as a workshop or regularly heat it, R-16 to R-18+ is worth the investment. Edmonton’s sustained cold — often weeks below -25°C without a warm break — means insulation performance matters more here than in most Canadian cities.

What is a Ryterna garage door and why is it different?

Ryterna is a European garage door manufacturer based in Lithuania that produces custom, made-to-measure garage doors. Their key differentiator is 25,000-cycle torsion springs as standard, lasting roughly 17 years compared to the 7-year lifespan of the 10,000-cycle springs used by most North American brands. Ryterna doors are available in over 200 RAL colours, multiple panel thicknesses up to 80mm, and unique configurations like integrated walk-through doors and real hardwood cladding. Garage Door Fix is the only authorized Ryterna dealer in Canada.

Which garage door brand is best for Edmonton winters?

All brands we carry — Ryterna, Amarr, Steel-Craft, Garaga, and Northland — offer models suitable for Edmonton’s winters. For maximum performance in extreme cold, we recommend Ryterna’s 40mm or 60mm panels or Garaga’s Acadia collection with ThermoGuard sealing. The best choice depends on your budget, aesthetic preferences, and how you use your garage. Our team can walk you through the trade-offs during a free consultation.

How long does a garage door installation take in Edmonton?

A standard residential installation takes 3 to 6 hours. This covers removal of your old door, installation of the new door with tracks, springs, and hardware, opener connection, and final testing. Custom or oversized installations may take a full day. We schedule installations to minimize disruption and always confirm timing in advance.

Do you charge extra for weekend or evening service?

No. We charge the same price whether you call at 2 PM on Tuesday or 9 PM on Saturday. There are no emergency fees, no after-hours fees, and no holiday surcharges. The price we quote is the price you pay.

Do I need to replace my garage door opener when I get a new door?

Not necessarily. If your opener is under 10 years old, has enough horsepower for your new door’s weight, and has modern safety features (photo-eye sensors and auto-reverse), it may work fine. However, we recommend replacing openers manufactured before 1993 (no modern safety features), openers struggling with heavier insulated doors, or any opener you’d like to upgrade with WiFi connectivity and smartphone control. We install LiftMaster openers, which are known for reliable performance in cold weather.

What areas do you serve from Edmonton?

We serve all of Edmonton plus surrounding communities including St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Leduc, Beaumont, Fort Saskatchewan, and Devon. There are no travel charges within our service area.

What is a walk-through garage door?

A walk-through door (also called a wicket door) is a pedestrian-sized door built into the garage door itself, allowing entry without raising the full door. This is especially useful in Edmonton winters: you avoid releasing heat from a heated garage, and you can access the garage even if snow or ice is blocking the door from opening fully. Ryterna factory-integrates walk-through doors for a weather-tight seal. The typical cost premium is $1200–$1,600 over a standard door.

Why do new homes in Edmonton often have garage door problems?

Many newer Edmonton developments — particularly in rapidly expanding areas like Windermere, Summerside, and south Edmonton suburbs — are built with builder-grade garage doors designed to meet minimum code requirements at the lowest cost. These doors often come with undersized 10,000-cycle springs, minimal insulation (R-6 or R-8), and basic weatherstripping. In Edmonton’s sustained extreme cold, these components wear out faster than in milder climates. If your home is less than five years old and you’re already seeing spring failures or poor sealing, upgrading is usually more cost-effective than repeated repairs.

Can I get a custom-sized garage door in Edmonton?

Yes. Ryterna manufactures every door to your exact measurements at no additional cost — a significant advantage over North American brands that charge a premium for non-standard sizes. This is especially useful for older Edmonton homes in Strathcona, Bonnie Doon, and other mature neighbourhoods where garage openings often don’t match modern standard dimensions. North American brands also offer some flexibility on sizing, but expect a surcharge.

Should I get windows in my garage door in Edmonton?

Windows add natural light and curb appeal, but they reduce insulation slightly and increase cost by approximately 25–50%. In Edmonton, we recommend insulated double-pane glass options if you choose windows. Also consider your garage’s orientation: south-facing windows bring welcome winter light but can cause summer heat gain. Frosted or tinted options are available for privacy. Ryterna offers PVC, stainless steel, and full-view glazing options to suit different design preferences.

Should I get windows in my garage door in Edmonton?

Do I need a permit to replace my garage door in Edmonton?

A straightforward garage door replacement typically does not require a building permit in Edmonton. However, if you’re installing new electrical wiring for a garage door opener, an electrical permit may be required. If you’re building a new detached garage or significantly modifying the structure, you’ll need the appropriate City of Edmonton permits. Our team can advise you during the consultation.

Do I need a permit to replace my garage door in Edmonton?

How long do garage doors last in Edmonton?

A quality garage door lasts 15 to 30 years with proper maintenance, though Edmonton’s extreme climate can shorten lifespans compared to milder regions. The most common component requiring replacement is the torsion spring — which is why Ryterna’s 25,000-cycle springs (versus the standard 10,000 cycles) represent substantial long-term savings. Regular maintenance, including annual lubrication and weatherstrip inspection, helps maximize the lifespan of any door in our climate.
