From a single Mississauga truck to the GTA's busiest team
Royal Garage Doors started in 2010 with one technician, one truck, and a simple rule:
charge fair prices, finish the job in one visit, and pick up the phone when the customer
calls back. Fifteen years later that rule still drives every dispatch we make.
Our founder, Michael Thompson, spent eight years working as a senior technician for
other GTA garage door companies before launching Royal. He kept seeing the same
problems — quotes that doubled on the invoice, jobs that needed a second visit because
the truck wasn't stocked, and weekend surcharges that nobody warned the customer about.
Royal was built to fix all three.
Today, Royal Garage Doors runs a fleet of 24/7 service trucks dispatched from
Mississauga and Toronto. Our team has serviced more than 10,000 garage doors across
the GTA — from downtown Toronto townhomes to estate properties in Caledon — and
maintains a 5.0-star rating across 485 verified Google reviews.
We're still family-owned. Michael still answers the phone when the dispatcher is
tied up. And every technician who joins the team works alongside him for the first
90 days before being trusted with springs and openers on their own.

The technician behind every install
Michael personally oversees every new door installation and every complex repair we
take on. After 23 years in the trade, he still holds the IDEA-Certified credential —
North America's recognised standard for safe spring and opener work.
How We Work
Four rules that haven't changed since 2010
We're not a franchise. We don't sell leads to other companies. We're not the cheapest
quote in your inbox — and we're proud of why.
Transparent pricing
We publish our prices online and quote in writing on-site before any work starts. There are no hidden trip fees, no weekend or holiday surcharges, and no surprise add-ons after the job is done. If we discover something during the diagnostic, we stop, explain it, and let you decide.
Same-day response
Our two GTA dispatch hubs — Mississauga and Toronto — let us put a qualified technician at your door within 1 to 3 hours of your call, including weekends, evenings, and holidays. We have a single fleet of 24/7 trucks and a single phone line: 437-265-9995.
Real warranties
Every repair carries a 1-year warranty on parts and labor. New door installations include the manufacturer warranty (3 to 10 years) plus our own installation guarantee. We service warranty work in-house — you never get bounced to a third party.
Licensed and insured
Royal Garage Doors carries $2M in commercial liability insurance and is fully WSIB-covered. Our lead technician is IDEA-Certified by the International Door Association — Canada's recognised standard for safe spring and opener work.
Service Area
14 GTA cities, two dispatch hubs
Our Mississauga hub (2963 Windjammer Rd) covers the western and central GTA, while
our Etobicoke office (12 Featherwood Pl) handles the east end and downtown.
Together they put a stocked technician within 1 to 3 hours of any address in our
coverage zone — including weekends, evenings, and statutory holidays.
Each city below has a dedicated service page with neighbourhood-level coverage and
direct dispatch:
Garage door work involves 200+ pounds of stored spring force. Anyone you let into
your garage should be able to produce written proof of every line below. We can —
on request, in writing, before we start.

Why Choose Royal
Six reasons GTA homeowners call us back
Locally owned
Founded in Mississauga in 2010, family-run, still answering our own calls. Not a national franchise routing you to an out-of-province call centre.
IDEA-Certified team
Every technician completes our internal 90-day training plus IDEA certification before handling spring or opener work unsupervised.
24/7 dispatch
A real human answers 437-265-9995 day or night — no voicemail, no overseas call centre. Emergency response across the entire GTA.
Stocked trucks
Every service van carries the most common torsion springs, cables, rollers, hinges, sensors, and LiftMaster opener parts. Most jobs finish in one trip.
OEM parts only
We refuse off-brand springs and after-market sensors. Original LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, and Wayne Dalton parts only — the same gear the manufacturers ship to the dealers.
Free service call
Every diagnostic visit is free with a completed repair. If you choose not to proceed, you owe nothing for the visit. No travel fees, no fuel surcharges, no minimums.
