The biggest moving part of your house.
Crawford Door has been hanging and fixing overhead doors from East Michigan Avenue since 1936. Residential doors, commercial door systems and emergency repair across Washtenaw, Wayne and Oakland Counties.
Doors we have hung
Every one of these is a door we actually fitted.
No catalogue renders and no stock houses. These are photographs from real jobs around Washtenaw, Wayne and Oakland Counties.
Full view
Black full view on stone and cedar
An aluminium and glass full view door on a contemporary elevation. Full view sections weigh more than steel, so the spring has to be sized for the glass.
Three bay
Three bays, one sightline
Three dark doors hung to a single sightline across the elevation. On a three bay opening the headroom and the track have to agree before anything is ordered.
Lakefront
White carriage on the lake side
A carriage style door on a dark lakefront elevation. Doors near water get a harder life, so the hardware and the finish matter more than the panel design.
Woodgrain
Woodgrain against sage and brick
A woodgrain carriage door set between brick pillars. Matching a woodgrain finish to existing brick is the part most people underestimate.
Hollow metal
Hollow metal double, commercial
A painted hollow metal double entry on a commercial building. Frame, leaf and hardware are specified together so the opening stays code compliant.
Entry
Single entry, cinder block opening
A hollow metal entry door into a block opening. Block walls rarely come out square, which is why the frame is set before the leaf is hung.

No upsells, great price.
That is Chris Wylie, writing about a repair on a house he had just bought. It is the review we would pick out of the 583 we have on Google, because it names the two things people are actually worried about when they call a door company.

Had a great experience with Crawford door for our newly purchased home and some garage door repairs. Ryan and Larry were great, took the time to explain things and answer any and every question I had for them. No upsells, great price, would recommend them for others and will use them when we have to replace our door.

I have used Crawford three times. Twice for repairs and most recently to have a new opener installed. They did a fantastic job all three times! The installer was genuine and kind. He cleaned everything to better than it was before he arrived. I highly recommend this local shop!

I needed a new door and called a couple companies. The other were pushy and did not get back to me for awhile. I called Crawford and they called me quickly, learned what I was looking for, gave me a good price and I went with them. The door was installed about a week later. The installers were great... Again, great service, quick, responsive, prompt and great follow through.

Before you call

If yours is not here, there are ten more on the questions page, or you can just ring the office and ask a person.
All questionsWe typically provide same day or next day service based on our schedule and how complex your repair needs are.
Loud or unusual noises, the door opening unevenly, slow or jerky movement, broken springs or cables, or a door that will not open or close fully.
We assess your door to determine if a repair is possible before suggesting a replacement. We focus on finding the most cost effective solution for your needs.
Standard residential garage door installations typically take one day to complete.
We partner with trusted manufacturers recognised for durability, safety features and reliable performance, including Clopay, LiftMaster, Invicta, Guardian, Ramco and Napoleon Lynx.
