The right commercial door for your building depends on more than the size of the opening. Wind loads, fire ratings, insulation requirements, cycle counts, opening speed, security needs, and seal integrity all factor in — and getting any one of them wrong shows up later as premature wear, failed inspections, or compliance issues.
We work through the full specification with you before quoting. Where engineering documentation is required for permitting (often the case for new construction or major renovations), we coordinate with structural engineers and the City of Richmond on your behalf so you're not chasing paperwork.
The commercial workhorse. Heavy-gauge insulated steel sections, 1.75" to 3" thickness, R-12 to R-20+. Suitable for warehouses, automotive bays, loading docks, and most commercial overhead applications. Standard widths up to 32 ft, custom sizing available. Wind-load engineered for BC requirements.
Compact overhead storage, ideal where headroom is limited. Common for retail service doors, security shutters, and self-storage. Slatted galvanized steel, perforated for ventilation, or insulated. Steveston village, Lansdowne, and Aberdeen retail commonly use these.
For operations where door cycle time directly affects throughput — cold storage, logistics hubs, food processing, manufacturing. Open at 60+ inches per second, close automatically after vehicle pass-through, dramatically reduce energy loss in temperature-controlled environments. Higher upfront cost, significantly lower lifetime energy and HVAC costs.
For warehouses with heated or refrigerated space, properly-insulated doors are not optional — they're an HVAC investment that pays back. R-values up to R-20+, full thermal-break frames, high-performance weather seals. Particularly relevant for food and beverage facilities along the East Richmond corridor.
Required by code in many commercial applications — between separate fire areas, at certain warehouse partitions, and in some multi-tenant buildings. We install ULC-listed fire-rated rolling doors with proper closing mechanisms, fusible links, and inspection-ready documentation.
We understand that taking a commercial door out of service for replacement means slowing or stopping a part of your operation. Wherever possible, we schedule commercial installations after-hours, on weekends, or during low-cycle windows so you aren't forced to choose between getting the work done and getting the day's work done.
For phased installations across multiple bays, we'll typically replace one bay at a time so you keep operational capacity throughout.
For commercial applications we work primarily with Steel-Craft Commercial, Garaga Commercial, Richards-Wilcox Commercial, and CHI Commercial. For high-speed and specialty doors we install Rytec and Hörmann. For commercial operators it's LiftMaster Commercial almost across the board, with HySecurity for gate operators.
We meet on-site, measure, review your operational requirements, discuss insulation and cycle-count needs, and document everything required for engineering and permitting.
Detailed written proposal with itemized pricing, lead time, and installation schedule. Once approved, we order the door and pull permits with the City of Richmond.
Installation scheduled around your operations — typically after-hours or weekend for active sites. Full commissioning, programming, and documentation handover before sign-off.
Commercial new-door pricing varies dramatically based on door type, size, insulation, operator specification, and access integration. Every commercial project starts with an on-site assessment and written firm proposal — no ballpark over the phone.
Fair question — and we hear it. Here's the honest answer:
It didn't take 5 minutes. It took 17 years to learn how to do it in 2 seconds. A torsion spring under 250 lb of tension is one wrong turn away from a hospital visit. The speed is the value — and the reason your door isn't a news story.
What you're actually paying for, beyond the part itself:
· Parts at trade pricing. Steel, springs, openers — tariffs and supply costs have gone up across the board. We don't mark up parts to fairy-tale levels, but we don't get them for free either.
· A real business, not a side hustle. WCB coverage, $5M liability insurance, GST, employer payroll taxes, technician wages that keep good people around, fuel, the wrapped van, the cost of actually answering the phone when you call.
· A two-year labour warranty. If anything we touched fails, we come back. For free. That promise has a cost baked into every job.
· Same-day response in Richmond. A truck stocked with every common spring size so we fix it on the first visit — not "we'll order the part and come back Tuesday."
We'll always tell you the price before we start. No surprises. Just an honest number for honest work.
Stock sectional steel: 2–3 weeks. Insulated thermal: 3–4 weeks. Custom sizes or full-view aluminum: 6–8 weeks. We pull the permit and coordinate with your site if needed.
Yes — R-value 17.5+ insulated sectional doors for cold-storage, conditioned warehouses, and any bay where energy loss matters. We'll spec the right thickness for your operation.
Most commercial replacements take 4–6 hours. We schedule around your busy windows — early morning, after-hours, or weekends — so the bay is back online before traffic picks up.
Yes — every quote includes removal and proper disposal of the old door, hardware, and tracks. No leftover scrap on your site.
Whether it's an emergency this morning or a project for next month.
