Fort Richmond was planned in the mid-1960s and runs south from the University of Manitoba toward the Perimeter Highway, with Pembina Highway as its main route. Homes here are more than 55 years old. Garage doors that have lasted this long are usually due for replacement, and the garage openings are often not a standard size, so measuring matters.

About Garage Doors in Fort Richmond

Fort Richmond is an established south Winnipeg suburb inside the city. It was built as a joint project of the former municipality of Fort Garry and a developer on more than 800 acres, and it opened with a Parade of Homes in 1965. Many homes are bungalows and split-levels with attached garages.

Because the neighbourhood is older, garages were built to the sizes and standards of the day. Some have been renovated or extended, some have had doors replaced more than once, and some still have the original. We service every part of Fort Richmond and know to expect surprises behind old drywall and framing.

Signs It Is Time to Replace the Door

Doors in 1960s and 1970s neighbourhoods have usually been patched several times. Look for:

  • Wood panels that are rotting, swollen or cracked
  • Rust on steel panels, hinges or tracks
  • A door that no longer closes tight against the floor
  • A garage that is hard to heat or cool
  • Repair bills that keep coming back
  • An opener that is 30 years old or has no safety sensors

Why Older Fort Richmond Garages Need a Careful Fit

Garages in neighbourhoods built in the 1960s and 70s are often narrower than garages in newer suburbs. Frames can also settle or shift over the decades. Before we order any door, our technician measures the opening, the headroom and the side room. If your garage needs a non-standard size, we can order a custom garage doors that fits.

Upgrading an Old Opener

An opener from the 1980s or early 1990s may not have the photo-eye sensors that have been required since 1993. A new opener adds those sensors, quieter operation and, if you want it, Wi-Fi control from your phone. We install LiftMaster, Genie and Chamberlain openers and test every safety feature before we leave. See our openers page.

Warming Up an Old Garage

An uninsulated garage door is one of the biggest sources of cold in an older home with an attached garage. An insulated door with new weatherstripping on the sides, top and bottom can make the garage feel noticeably warmer and cut drafts into the house.

FAQs

Garage Door FAQs for Fort Richmond

Yes. We measure the opening first. Most openings take a standard size door. If yours does not, we order a custom size.

If the door is solid and only one part has failed, yes. If panels are rotting or rusting, or the door is badly out of balance, replacement is the better choice. We tell you which one applies to your door.

Yes. We remove the old unit, install the new one, set the travel limits and test the sensors and auto-reverse.

Do not force it. Disconnect the opener using the red emergency release cord only if the door is closed or safely supported, and call us at (204) 404-3667. A stuck door often means a broken spring or cable, and those are under heavy tension.

Small cracks and loose hardware can be fixed. Rot or warping usually means the panel or the whole door should be replaced, because moisture keeps damaging the wood.

Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency service across Winnipeg. Call (204) 404-3667.
