Default Garage door company recommendation

Looking for recommendations for a company to supply and install a new residential garage door in Airdrie. 16x7 I believe. I know there's lots of companies out there I'm just looking for recommendations from good personal experiences kind of thing. So many to pick an choose from. Thanks.

Where are you located?

Had great service from Big Rock Garage Doors. I've passed him along to a few others (Tungsten is one on here so he would be someone to touch base with as well) that is if you are in and/or around Calgary)

Default Rick at Glenmore Garage doors

We had to replace a garage door 2 years ago and after checking around for quality rick brought in a Steelcraft 7 X 16 door for the garage and installed it for little more than some others wanted for the door itself.
We were so pleased we got him to bring in a new 9 X 16 foot SteelCraft door for the barn a year later. Cant touch them for being solidly built and the insulation value for the price.

I think Fish gunner does garage doors.
If you can stand having everything you say argued about, maybe give him a call.

Thanks for all the replies. Sounds like steel craft is the way to go. I'll check into some of the recommended installers as well

One thing I should add, get the highest r rating you can afford and go with windows. Mine are triple paned last winter was a cold one and my garage was toasty just from engine heat and sunlight.

Yep definitely thinking about adding windows for the extra light. I would imagine windows are more expensive than just a panel?

Ultra-lite Doors

They replaced our garage door a couple years ago. And yes, get glass!
