Garage Door Repair & Installation in Nowthen, MN

Nowthen sits in the northwest corner of Anoka County, about 35 square miles where the 2020 census counted every resident as rural. It was Burns Township from 1869 until it incorporated as a city in 2008, and it takes its name from postmaster James Hare, who had a habit of saying “Now, then.” The city’s own line is that it still feels like country. When a garage door quits out here, we can usually get a technician to you the same day.

Garage Door Repair

Whether your garage is attached or detached, garage door repair comes down to a familiar set of parts: springs, cables, rollers, hinges, track sections and panels. If a spring snaps, the door gets very heavy all at once. Don’t try to lift it or run the opener. Get us out for garage door spring replacement and we’ll take it from there.

Each visit is logged in Jobber with notes on your door. If something comes up after we leave, give us a call. With your door’s history in front of us, we can often help over the phone at no cost.

Garage Door Installation and Replacement

Replacing a door starts with the garage itself. Size, insulation level and hardware can all differ between a garage built onto the house and one standing on its own, and a heated garage is a different job than an unheated one. Our garage door installation work uses HAAS doors, and we’ll walk through what fits how you use the space and how it looks next to the house.

Before the door goes up, we look at the opening. Headers sag, jambs rot and framing shifts over the years. Fixing that kind of structural problem is the “Plus” part of what we do, handled by our team or a subcontractor we’ve worked with and trust.

We’ll ask whether you’re settled here for good or likely to move on before long, since that changes what’s worth the money. From there you get three or four priced choices and a straight answer on what we’d want on our own parents’ place.

Garage Door Openers

Openers generally last 10 to 15 years. Anything made before 1993 predates the federal rule requiring photo eyes or another secondary safety device, so an older unit is worth getting checked. We fix and replace garage door openers, from quieter belt drives to app-controlled models, the latter of which helps with a detached garage that’s out of sight of the house.

Commercial Garage Doors

Nowthen is almost entirely rural. Where a local business does have overhead doors, we provide commercial garage door service on sectional and rolling steel models, plus their operators, and most of it is keeping existing doors in working order.

Why Nowthen Homeowners Call Garage Doors Plus

Garage Doors Plus is locally owned and independent, working out of Blaine. We don’t lead with a cheap tune-up and follow it with a list of repairs you don’t need. You get the diagnosis and the price first, and the decision stays with you. Our word is our bond, so when a repair of ours doesn’t last, we go back and fix it without charging you again.

Nowthen borders Elk River, Ramsey, Oak Grove and St. Francis, and we also work in nearby communities, including Elk River, Ramsey and Anoka. For a garage you’d like to keep open on summer evenings, ask about Lifestyle Screens, retractable screens sized for the door opening.
