I am looking at getting a new insulated double door size garage door, as well as a 3/4 HP belt driven garage door opener.
Can someone suggest some people who are reasonably priced and do a great job? I am located in the Scarborough East/Pickering area.
Also, what things should I look for in Garage Doors and Door Openers?
Thanks guys.

Look for R factor and how the door is insulated. Find one that is foam injected which gets into all the recessed panel areas which will resist the occasional driveway dings. Other than that, it varies from each installer as to which type of hardware they use. They will also carry a couple different door brands to choose from but most prefer to use one or two.
Some of the newer doors now have the pinch proof sections in case your kid ever gets their hand in between the panels.
Go out and check to see what your neighbours are replacing theirs with. The guy we used replaced about a dozen others on our street and carried the door I actually wanted from seeing it at the manufacturing plant.

HT - do a search on this forum - there is a fellow who has quite alot to say about your question and in fact, does opener installs.
Whether he can help you specifically, not sure, but there is a thread running.
