Let’s cut to the chase — we’ve been getting questions from customers wondering if tariffs, supply chain issues, or “import fees” are affecting garage door prices here in Canada.
The short answer? Yes — but not the way most people think. And we want to be straight with you about what’s really going on and how to make the smartest choice for your home.
What Are Tariffs Anyway?
Tariffs are essentially taxes placed on imported goods. Over the past few years, there have been back-and-forth changes between countries — especially on steel, aluminum, and manufactured parts. And yes, those things are a big part of the garage door world.
But here’s the good news for Canadian homeowners: we work with suppliers who source materials from within Canada or North America whenever possible. That means fewer surprises, more stable pricing, and faster turnaround times.
How This Impacts You as a Homeowner
You may have seen some companies bump their prices, blame it on “tariffs,” and walk away. That’s not how we do business.
We’re a family-run operation based right here in Ontario, and we’ve worked hard to keep our pricing competitive without cutting corners on quality. Some materials and components have gone up slightly due to global costs — but overall? We’re absorbing a lot of that behind the scenes so you don’t feel it.
We’re not going to sell you something you don’t need, slap on a “tariff fee,” and call it a day. We’re here to help you understand what you’re buying and why it matters.
Navigating These Times: What You Can Do
Here’s what we recommend for Canadian homeowners looking to upgrade or replace their garage door in the current market:
✅ Stick with Canadian-based companies (like us) who know the landscape
✅ Ask questions about where materials come from — transparency matters
✅ Plan ahead — ordering now can help you beat future price hikes or delays
✅ Don’t wait for a “perfect time” — energy efficiency and security don’t take breaks
We’re not fearmongering, and we’re not in the business of pressure sales. We’re just saying: if you’ve been thinking about upgrading your garage door, now’s a smart time to do it.
