Excellent experience with Trevor’s team at Overhead Door Company of Lethbridge, Calgary & Cranbrook!

From start to finish, Trevor and his team were outstanding. They guided me through the selection process, explained all the options clearly, and helped me choose the perfect door for my needs. Their communication was professional, prompt, and friendly throughout.

What really stood out was how quickly they arranged the installation — they found the earliest available date and completed everything efficiently and with great attention to detail.

Omar, the Overhead Door Company Techinician did a great job considering this project should have been done by two people for the size of the door.
Even there were some wiring issues with the garage door opener, Omar would call me out and explain what was wrong and why some things were happening. Omar was troubleshooting mostly by himself and then with the aid a Liftmaster rep. Omar finally got things working out and the job was complete.
Thanks to Omar for a wonderful and quite difficult for one person, job.

Blair Sastaunik

Jordyn did an excellent job replacing my garage door, additional hardware and weather sealing. He explained the entire process when he arrived and provided tips on regular maintenance when he completed the job. Great price as well for the quality of door and installation. I highly recommend Overhead Doors!

Philip Smillie

One of the spring coils broke suddenly Tuesday morning. I called Overhead Doors Co. for emergency service and their super efficient technician, Jay Osborn, came the same day just before lunch. He couldn’t replace my broken coil as it was a special high service type which had to come from their head office in Lethbridge. But Jay put in a temporary clamp so the broken coil could still be used and the garage door operated. Since both coils were over 20 years old, two replacement coils were ordered and they came on the Thursday and Jay installed them by noon. Great service from Overhead Door Co., a company I use and trust for the past 30 years!

Common Questions

Regularly scheduled maintenance is key to ensuring your residential garage door delivers reliable, long-lasting performance. 

Our residential garage door maintenance service begins with a detailed inspection followed by essential adjustment and lubrication—a preventative approach unlike reactive repairs. We also conduct visual checks to identify and recommend replacement of any worn components to prevent potential system failures. This proactive maintenance helps to:

  • Maintain smooth operations and daily routine by preventing unexpected breakdowns
  • Enhance the security of your garage and home from theft and weather damage
  • Improve your home’s overall energy efficiency
  • Reduce unnecessary downtime or costly repairs

We’re serious about residential garage door maintenance. That means we service and maintain all types of garage doors and openers for homeowners, including the following:

  • Wood doors
  • Steel doors
  • Carriage house doors
  • Fibreglass doors
  • Vinyl doors
  • Glass and aluminum doors
  • And more

Our comprehensive garage door maintenance includes a range of tasks designed to ensure years of reliable operation. These tasks include:

  • A Comprehensive Inspection – This is the most important part of any residential garage door maintenance call. The garage door technician will go over every component of your door, checking for signs of wear and tear, or damage, such as dents, cracks, loose parts, or other issues. It’s important to identify these signs early so you can catch them before they turn into major repairs.
  • Lubrication of All Moving Parts – Friction is the enemy of your garage door. Its moving parts must be properly lubricated in order to preserve proper function. Our technician will apply lubricant to the rollers, hinges, tracks, and any other parts as needed.
  • Adjusting the Springs – The springs help balance your garage door’s weight and support its movement. If the springs are not properly adjusted, it can lead to safety hazards and even render your garage door inoperable. Our trained maintenance technicians will adjust the springs as needed to ensure the best performance. This task is very dangerous if you do not know what you are doing.
  • Inspecting the Cable and Pulley System – Another vital component to the opening and closing of your door is the cable and pulley system. Due to the nature of the door, this is a part that can wear out quickly. Our garage door maintenance technician will inspect it and replace any parts as necessary.
