How to Reach Us
Call 1-651-401-2178 or stop by 1650 Beam Ave, Maplewood, MN 55109. That's about two minutes from North St. Paul, three miles from Little Canada and Vadnais Heights, and four miles from Oakdale and Mahtomedi - the close-in towns we work most days.
We also run out to Roseville, Dellwood, Lake Elmo, North Oaks, Falcon Heights, and Grant (all roughly six to seven miles), and as far as Mendota Heights, Fridley, Bayport, and Afton on the thirteen-mile edge of our area. If your town isn't on that list, call and ask - we'll tell you straight if you're outside the range we drive.
We don't run a 24-hour dispatch line listed anywhere on this page, so if you call after hours, leave a message with your address and what the door is doing (won't open, stuck halfway, spring snapped) and we'll get back to you when the shop opens. For general questions before you call, you can also start at our home page.
The area
Work We Turn Down
We don't frame new garage openings or build out a bay for new construction - that's a general contractor job, not a repair call. If your project involves moving a wall, resizing an opening, or pouring new slab, we're not the right call.
We also pass on fully custom carriage-style doors that need structural framing changes to the header or jambs. We'll install a standard insulated steel replacement in an existing opening, but we won't retrofit a frame to fit a door that doesn't match what's there.
Honestly, if your door needs a part that has to be special-ordered from the manufacturer - an odd-width panel, a discontinued track profile - we'll tell you up front that the wait is out of our hands. We'd rather say that plainly than promise a date we can't keep.
And we don't travel past the towns listed above. If you're well beyond Afton or outside the area we track, we'll point you toward someone closer rather than take a job we can't service well afterward.
What we find
The Work We Take On
Most of the houses we get called to here went up between 1950 and 2002, with the bulk of the stock across our 41 named service areas dating to the 1960s and 70s. That means a lot of original torsion spring setups, steel sectional doors with worn rollers, and openers that have outlived the hardware they were bolted to. We fix broken torsion and extension springs, replace worn cables and rollers, true up bent tracks, and swap out openers that have stopped talking to their remotes.
We work in a cold moderate climate band, which matters more than people expect - a spring or a weatherstrip rated for a mild winter doesn't hold up through a real Minnesota cold stretch, and that shows up as a door that binds or won't seal at the bottom.
With a median household income of $93,233 across the service area's 224,155 households, we see more owners choosing full insulated steel replacements over patching an old single-layer door, especially once a repair starts costing nearly as much as a new door would. We'll always tell you honestly which side of that line your door is on before we start work.
Questions
Common questions
Do you come out to my town if I'm not in Maplewood itself?
Yes, within reason. We cover towns from North St. Paul (2 miles) out to places like Fridley, Bayport, and Afton (up to about 13 miles). If you're not sure whether your address falls inside that range, call 1-651-401-2178 and we'll tell you directly rather than guess.
What's the fastest way to reach you?
Call 1-651-401-2178. If it's after hours, leave your address and a short description of what the door is doing and we'll call back when the shop opens. We don't have an emergency line separate from that number.
My garage door is from the 1960s - can you still work on it?
Usually, yes. A lot of the homes in our service area were built in the 1960s and 70s, so original torsion spring setups and older steel sectional doors are common calls for us. The exception is a part that's been discontinued and has to come from the manufacturer on special order - that one's out of our control.
Do you build new garages or add openings?
No. New construction, framing a new opening, or resizing an existing one is a general contractor's job. We handle repair and replacement in an opening that already exists.
Why does my door act up more in winter here?
We're in a cold moderate climate band, and hardware rated for milder weather tends to fail faster through a real cold stretch - springs lose tension, weatherstripping stiffens and cracks, and lubricant thickens. If your door binds or won't seal at the bottom once it's cold, that's usually what's going on.
