Use the residential route for a door serving a home garage. Use the commercial route for a facility system, loading dock or business opening. If the use is unclear, describe the building and equipment so the operator can review the request before passing it on.

## Residential doors

[Garage Doorman Residential](https://905trades.ca/partners/garage-doorman/) publishes home garage door installation, repair and opener service. State whether the door is stuck, damaged, noisy or being considered for replacement. Keep people and vehicles clear of a visibly damaged door, spring, cable or track. A technician needs to confirm the condition before proposing a repair.

## Commercial systems

[Commercial Garage Doorman](https://905trades.ca/partners/commercial-garage-doorman/) publishes facility door work including rolling steel, sectional overhead, high-speed doors, shutters and dock levellers. A useful request names the site type, equipment, opening or bay, operating issue and any access rules. Do not operate damaged equipment just to demonstrate a symptom.

## The handoff is different

Residential requests can use the 905 Trades introduction process. Commercial garage-door requests are a direct handoff to Commercial Garage Doorman. The handoff is recorded for follow-up but carries no commercial referral fee. The customer and service business discuss capability, timing and terms directly.

## When a request includes both settings

Some properties mix a residence with a commercial building or shared garage. Describe which opening serves which part of the property. The two profiles are not interchangeable; splitting the scope helps each side understand which equipment is involved.

Use the [residential garage door service page](https://905trades.ca/services/garage-doors/) or the existing [commercial garage door handoff](https://905trades.ca/commercial-garage-doors/).

It costs nothing to request an introduction. You contract directly with the business on its own quote and terms. Where a referral arrangement applies, the business pays 905 Trades the fee agreed with it. The Commercial Garage Doorman commercial handoff has no referral fee.
