Every service the Ottawa branch offers is below, for houses and for commercial buildings. Where a service has a page written for Ottawa, the link goes there.

Everything here is run out of the shop at 46 Grenfell Crescent Unit A in Nepean, and the line answers around the clock. The city is the short half of the map. The long half is the towns: Kemptville about 40 km out, Carleton Place about 50, Arnprior about 60, Perth about 70, and rural Ottawa itself, about 2,192 square kilometres holding 26 villages, which took 1,236 housing starts in the two years to June 2024.

Two things about Ottawa decide which of these services a household ends up needing. Row houses are 87,045 of the 407,250 occupied homes here, 21.4 per cent against 9.2 per cent for Ontario, so on a great many doors the person behind it is not the person who pays for the repair. And the cold is real: about 15 nights a year below minus 20 at the Experimental Farm station, on which an attached garage door is one wall of the house, and a spring that was already worn is the one that lets go.

Ottawa is also the only branch whose service area breaks into districts rather than into other municipalities. Kanata, Nepean, Gloucester and Orléans were independent cities until amalgamation in 2001, and the garages in them were built decades apart, so a service booked in Kanata and the same service booked in Nepean are usually two different jobs. Each of the seven has a page of its own, which the areas index links.

When a repair stops being worth it

Supply, installation and repair, residential and commercial. An opener is sized to the weight of the door it lifts, which is why a new door and an old opener are one job and not two.
