New Garage Doors & Installation in Franklin, Michigan
Franklin may call itself "The Town That Time Forgot," but its tree-lined lanes and historic clapboard homes still need garage doors that work every single morning. Doors of Pontiac has been the go-to for Franklin Village homeowners since 1977, and our Waterford showroom sits only about ten minutes up the road. Whether you own a colonial off Franklin Road or a newer build near 14 Mile, we install and repair doors that match your home and survive Michigan weather.
We're a family-owned, family-run business — not a national call center routing your call three states away. When you phone 248-666-9777, you reach real Oakland County people who know Franklin's carriage-house look and its strict village character. From a stuck opener before the school run to a full custom wood door for a Franklin Hills estate, our factory-trained technicians handle it, usually the same day, and always with a free, no-pressure estimate.
Doors of Pontiac isn't a franchise that parachuted into Oakland County last year — we've served Franklin and its neighbors since 1977, and the same family still answers the phone. Our showroom at 7611 Highland Road in Waterford is a quick drive from Franklin Village, so you can see real doors, insulation cores, and hardware in person before you buy. Every estimate is free and honest, with no upsell games. When Franklin homeowners want a hometown company that stands behind its work and still picks up the phone on a Saturday morning, they call the folks who've been here for decades.
Garage Door Services in Franklin
Garage Door Installation in Franklin
A new garage door is one of the best-looking upgrades you can make to a Franklin home, and it returns much of its cost at resale. We install steel, wood, aluminum, fiberglass, vinyl, and glass doors in carriage-house, contemporary, and traditional raised-panel styles from Raynor, Safe-Way, Amarr, C.H.I., and Wayne Dalton. We measure in your driveway, order the right size, and set it level so it seals tight against Franklin winters. Ask about insulated R-value cores for attached garages.
Garage Door Repair in Franklin
A broken spring or dead opener never waits for a convenient morning. Our Franklin repair techs fix snapped torsion and extension springs, frayed cables, worn rollers, dented panels, off-track doors, and failed safety sensors — usually same day. We carry common parts on the truck, so most repairs are done in one visit. We'll also re-align auto-reverse sensors and replace cracked weather seals so your door closes safely and keeps the cold out. Call 248-666-9777 for fast service.
Garage Door Openers
If your opener grinds, hesitates, or ignores the remote, we repair and replace Genie and LiftMaster units across Franklin. We install quiet belt-drive models with battery backup so you're never locked out during an Oakland County power outage, plus smart Wi-Fi and MyQ openers you can control from your phone. We'll also add fresh safety sensors and remotes. Same-day opener swaps are common — just give us a call.

Franklin-area businesses, from shops along Franklin Road to warehouses in nearby Southfield and Farmington, count on us for commercial doors and hardware. We install and service sectional steel doors, high-cycle springs, heavy-duty openers, and rolling service doors built for daily use.

FAQ — Garage Doors in Franklin
Do you serve Franklin and the surrounding villages?
Yes. Franklin is core territory for us, and we regularly serve neighboring Birmingham, Southfield, West Bloomfield, and Farmington too. Our Waterford showroom is about ten to fifteen minutes from Franklin Village, so most calls get same-day or next-day service. Just dial 248-666-9777 and tell us your address.
How much does a new garage door cost in Franklin?
It depends on size, material, insulation, and style — a basic single steel door costs far less than a custom wood carriage-house double. That's exactly why every estimate is free. We measure at your Franklin home, show you options in your budget, and give you a firm written price with no pressure and no surprise fees.
Can you match the historic look of homes in Franklin Village?
Absolutely. Many Franklin homes have a classic, historic character, so we specialize in carriage-house and traditional raised-panel doors in wood or steel that complement that look. We'll bring samples from our showroom and help you pick colors, windows, and hardware that suit your street and any village guidelines.
How do insulated doors hold up in Oakland County winters?
Very well. Michigan winters and road salt are hard on garage doors, so we install insulated steel doors with solid R-value cores and fresh weather seals that keep attached garages warmer and block drafts. Better insulation also means a quieter door and lower heating bills through a Franklin winter. Ask us which R-value fits your garage.
My spring broke — can you come out today?
Often, yes. Broken torsion and extension springs are our most common emergency call, and we stock the right sizes on our trucks. Never try to unwind a spring yourself; they're under extreme tension and dangerous. Call 248-666-9777 and we'll dispatch a trained tech to your Franklin home, usually the same day, to replace it safely.
