CREATIVE DOOR SERVICES CELEBRATES 55-YEARS OF INDUSTRY EXCELLENCE
DELTA/PRINCE RUPERT – This year, renowned garage and commercial door company Creative Door Services is thrilled to announce its 55-year anniversary celebration. Amidst a rapidly changing market, new technologies and the varying budget constraints of the average consumer, Creative Door is proud of its unwavering commitment to quality, consistency and affordability.
“From marvelous residential garage doors, openers, and gates to durable commercial and industrial overhead doors, dock equipment, operators, and parts—at Creative Door Services, we’ve been mastering the remarkable since 1969,” says Lana Winterfield, Manager, Marketing and Communications at Creative Door Services. “With eight locations across four provinces, we carry one of the most extensive garage and overhead door catalogues in Canada.”
As the company takes stock of its extensive history in the industry, the team is more excited than ever to push forward with company objectives and continue offering innovative products and services to help reduce customer downtime and be their one-stop service solution.
“We’re excited about the future and are dedicated to continuing our legacy as the trusted brand Canadian business owners have relied on for 55 years, providing turnkey intelligent access solutions, products, and services,” says Winterfield. “As we celebrate this milestone, we’re not just looking back at what we’ve achieved—we’re also looking forward. Our vision for the future is clear: to continue offering quality service that improves efficiencies and reduces costs and bringing even more remarkable products and services to our customers.”
That future holds a lot of new offerings for this unique sector. The garage and sectional door industry is witnessing some exciting trends, primarily driven by cost-effectiveness, safety, and aesthetic preferences. One notable development is the growing popularity of rubber doors in parkades.
“Parkade door panel replacements can accumulate expenses rapidly, impacting productivity and energy consumption for a business,” says Winterfield. “Rubber doors mitigate these costs by minimizing the need for frequent replacements and offering energy-saving benefits, particularly in heated parkades, due to their faster operational speeds.”
Despite a higher initial investment, customers are opting for rubber doors due to their long-term cost savings. Rubber doors significantly reduce maintenance and replacement expenses, especially in heated parkades, as they operate faster, minimizing energy costs. Their quick reset times and ease of operation further add to their appeal, eliminating the need for specialized training.
Another trend is the demand for high-speed aluminum doors in automotive dealerships, where aesthetics and functionality are both essential. Customers are increasingly requesting customization options, particularly in colour variations, to enhance the visual appeal of their commercial spaces.
“Staying ahead of industry trends and technology is at the heart of what we do. We constantly evolve, ensuring that our customers benefit from the latest advancements in safety, efficiency, and design. Our commitment to going above and beyond for our customers is unwavering, and it’s this dedication that has earned us a reputation for excellence,” says Winterfield.
Additionally, the industry is experiencing a shift towards high-cycle door systems with reduced maintenance needs. Parking garage owners are prioritizing longevity, ease of maintenance, and safety features like springless mechanisms and battery backup options. High-performance rubber doors and direct-drive opener systems are becoming popular choices to meet these new demands.
The stabilization of the supply chain has also positively impacted the industry, reducing manufacturer lead times and providing better predictability for businesses and homeowners. This, coupled with an emphasis on safety compliance through preventative maintenance programs, ensures that access systems are not only efficient but also well-maintained and compliant with safety standards. These trends indicate a market that is evolving to meet the changing needs of customers, offering a range of solutions that balance functionality, aesthetics, and cost-effectiveness.
“We understand that time and money matter, which is why we provide fast, reliable, and affordable garage door and overhead door repairs, service, and planned maintenance. Our goal is to ensure your products not only look great but also perform at their best,” says Winterfield.
“Whether you’re looking for a whisper-quiet lift or top-notch service, you can count on us to deliver every time. At Creative Door Services, we’re committed to keeping your doors in safe working order, just as we’ve done for over 55 years.”
