Common Questions

Generally, a simple 'like-for-like' replacement does not require a permit. However, if you are widening the opening or making structural changes to the lintel, the City of Oshawa requires a permit, which typically costs between $90 and $150 depending on the valuation.

In 2026, a standard single-car door (9x7) averages $1,200–$2,500 installed, while a double-car door (16x7) typically ranges from $2,200 to $5,500, representing a 80-120% price increase for the larger unit.

Due to Oshawa's cold winters, experts recommend a minimum R-value of 12. Upgrading from a non-insulated door to an R-16 polyurethane insulated door typically adds $400–$800 to the project cost but can save up to 15% on adjacent room heating costs.

Prices in 2026 reflect a 6-20% surge caused by 2025 steel and aluminum tariffs, alongside a 10-15% rise in local labor rates due to a shortage of skilled garage door technicians in the Durham Region.
