How does the climate in Grand Marais, MN affect my garage door?
Grand Marais sits in Minnesota's cold northern climate — a cold northern climate of long, snowy winters, deep sub-freezing cold, and short, warm summers. That's hard on a door: heavy snow load and ice on doors and tracks and deep winter cold that stiffens springs and grease all accelerate wear on springs, seals, and openers, so the failures we see most here are doors iced to the slab on sub-zero mornings and frozen, sluggish openers in unheated garages. We size springs and seals for local conditions, not a generic catalog spec.
What brands of garage door openers do you service?
LiftMaster, Chamberlain, Genie, Craftsman, Sommer, Marantec, and most legacy brands. We're authorized dealers for LiftMaster and Genie.
