About Garage Door Derby

    Family-owned business delivering fast results since 1999.

    Our Story

    A Local Company Built on Trust

    Garage Door Derby was founded in 1999 by Mike Thompson, a Derby native with a passion for mechanical work and a commitment to honest service. What started as a one-man operation has grown into a trusted team of certified technicians serving Derby and the greater Connecticut area.

    Over the past 24+ years, we've built our reputation on three principles: quality workmanship, fair pricing, and genuine care for our customers. We're not just fixing garage doors—we're helping our neighbors feel safe and secure in their homes.

    Today, we're proud to have served over 2,827 happy customers and continue to uphold the values that got us here. When you choose Garage Door Derby, you're choosing a team that treats every home like it's their own.
