We come to you from our shop in southwest Edmonton. A service call and diagnosis typically costs $90 to $130 plus GST, and you approve the written price before we start.
A broken spring or cable can drop the door without warning. If you heard a loud bang, the door will not lift or a cable is hanging loose, stop using the door.

About Calmar
Calmar is a town of about 2,200 people on Highway 39, roughly 35 km southwest of Edmonton, in Leduc County. It was named in 1900 after Kalmar, Sweden, and grew quickly in the 1940s after the nearby Leduc No. 1 oil discovery. It became a village in 1949 and a town in 1954. If you live on an acreage outside town, see our Leduc County page. For the city next door, see Leduc.
Older Doors and Newer Doors in Calmar
Calmar has homes from the postwar boom and homes built much more recently, and the town is adding housing, including its first new apartment building since the 1970s. That means a mix of doors:
Older garages. Doors and openers here may be decades old, and many have had parts replaced over the years. We often find:
- Worn rollers, hinges and cables. See roller replacement and cable replacement.
- Springs that have outlasted their rating. See spring replacement.
- Doors that were never insulated. See insulated garage doors.
- Openers that are slow, loud or out of parts. See opener repair and installation.
Newer homes. Standard builder doors with the lowest-rated spring are common. Sensors that need cleaning and a spring that reaches the end of its rated life are the usual calls. See sensor repair.
Our general garage door repair service covers everything else.
When Repair Makes Sense and When a New Door Does
An older door can often be repaired. A few signs point to replacing it instead:
- Several panels are damaged or rusted through. Replacing sections adds up.
- The door is not insulated and the garage is cold. A new insulated door changes that.
- It has failed more than once in a short time. A string of repairs may cost as much as a new door.
- Parts are hard to find. Very old openers and hardware may not be available.
When you call, tell us the age of the door and what it is doing. We tell you whether to repair it or replace it, and we give you the price for each. See our garage door installation page.
Cold Hits Garage Doors in Calmar
Calmar’s recorded low is minus 49 C, and winters here are cold. Cold makes grease thick and seals hard, and an opener works harder on a stiff door. Before the deep freeze:
- Run the door by hand once. Release it with the door closed, lift it halfway and let go. A balanced door stays put.
- Look at the bottom seal. A cracked seal lets in snow and freezes to the floor.
- Clear the base of the door after each storm.
- Wipe the sensor lenses. Frost and dust stop a door from closing.
- Book a tune-up if the door sounds different. See our garage door maintenance service.
Getting to Calmar
Calmar is southwest of Edmonton on Highway 39, and our shop is on Chappelle Rd. SW, on the same side of the city. Travel time still depends on the time of day, traffic and the weather. We do not promise a time we cannot keep. We give you an arrival window when you call, and doors that are stuck open, off the track or hanging on a loose cable come first.
If the repair is not urgent, tell us. See our same-day garage door repair page for how same-day booking works and our emergency garage door repair page for after-hours calls.
Businesses and Shop Doors Around Calmar
Shops, service businesses and yards in and around Calmar also have overhead doors that run many times a day. We repair springs, cables and operators, and we quote commercial work after we assess the door. See our commercial overhead door service. For the industrial park north of Leduc, see our Nisku page.

Should I repair or replace my old garage door?
An older door can often be repaired. Replace it if several panels are damaged, if it is not insulated and the garage is cold or if it keeps failing. We look at the door and give you a price for the repair and for a new door so you can compare.
Why is my garage door slow or noisy in the cold?
Cold thickens grease and hardens seals, so the door and opener work harder. Wiping and lubricating the moving parts and checking the balance can help. If the door still struggles, a worn roller, spring or opener may be the cause. We find it and tell you the cost before we start.
Do you serve acreages around Calmar?
We serve Calmar and the nearby Leduc County area. For acreages, call us with your address and the door size, and we will tell you if we can come and what it will cost.
