Last November we started looking for a new insulated garage door, in the hope that it would help make the family room above the garage a bit warmer in the winter. The door we were replacing was painted black, which is a colour not widely available in steel insulated garage doors. We really like the look of the black door though, so as we went through the process of getting estimates and talking to different contractors we couldn't help but feel disappointed that we were going to have to settle on a drab colour or a door painted after it was manufactured. Based on their Homestars rating, we called All City. Donovan came to the house and was very professional. He was very patient with all of our questions, especially about colour and style and why black doesn't work on steel insulated doors (the metal delaminates from the insulation over time because of the heat). He recommended a cherry wood finish, which would go great with our red brick house. He showed us pictures of a similar job he did, and invited us to the Richards-Wilcox showroom to see the door. We went to the showroom and were impressed by the selection and the variety of styles. In spite of some reservations by my wife, we went ahead with the cherry wood finish door.
Donovan and Paul came to install the door on a -15 degree day in January. They were quick and professional, and the cleanup was excellent. The door is beautiful! My wife loves it now too. It's the talk of our neighbourhood - hopefully All City will get some more business on our street. Many Thanks to Donovan, Paul and Andrea for an excellent job.
