The six Wayzata calls we take most, priced by what hangs in the opening. For anything else, start at the all services page.
Spring Repair and Replacement
Springs for cedar, composite and glass doors that outweigh the steel door they were sized for. Door weighed, both springs replaced together.
Opener Repair and Installation
Stripped gears on LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Genie units worn out lifting a heavy door, and jackshaft openers that take the rail off a finished ceiling.
Custom, Wood and Carriage-House Doors
Steel and composite carriage-house doors, true wood, full-view glass and 9 and 10-foot doors measured to the opening the architect drew. Financing available.
Garage Door Windows and Inserts
Glass lites and decorative inserts matched across a three-car garage, replacement glass for a cracked panel, frosted or clear.
Smart Opener Upgrades
MyQ and Wi-Fi control, battery backup for storm outages off the lake, keypads and remotes for a house with more drivers than doors.
Tune-Up and Fall Winterization
Balance test on a heavy door, cold-rated lubricant, force and limit settings, seal and bottom rail checked before the wind off the bay.
Why Wayzata Garage Doors Are Chosen, Not Ordered by Number
Wayzata grew from an 1850s village and an 1880s summer colony on Wayzata Bay into a small lake city where old summer houses on Bushaway Road and Ferndale sit beside new builds, mid-century houses climb the hills north of Lake Street, and 1960s to 90s streets run toward Highway 12 and Gleason Lake.
On a Wayzata house the garage door was picked by the architect or the owner: a cedar carriage-house door with real overlay boards, a full-view glass door, or a 10-foot-tall door so the boat clears. Each weighs more than the stock steel door the springs were sized for, so the opener has been doing the lifting and the springs let go early. We weigh the door before quoting spring service ($143 to $333 for each spring, heavy doors at the top) and replace both; a jackshaft opener beside the shaft, $315 to $452 installed, handles the weight without a rail on the ceiling.
Tear-downs, side-load garages and the door the architect drew
When a summer house on the bay comes down, the new house puts the garage under living space or sideways off a side drive, with an opening drawn at 9 or 10 feet and little headroom. We measure and quote a custom door to that opening: steel or composite carriage-house doors from Clopay, Amarr, C.H.I. and Wayne Dalton, true wood, or full-view glass, with high-lift track where the ceiling allows. Our guide to the best garage doors for Minnesota winters covers materials; the R-value explainer covers a garage under a bedroom.
What a Wayzata winter does to a wood door on the lake
Wind comes across the bay with nothing to slow it, so drifts pack against a door facing the water and frost coats the photo eyes and the glass. A cold snap turns spring steel brittle, and an undersized spring on a heavy door is the first thing to snap on a sub-zero morning; the bottom rail of a wood door soaks up slush, swells and freezes to the slab; grease thickens until the opener strains; and salt off Highway 12 and I-394 rusts lift cables and bottom brackets. A fall maintenance tune-up catches most of it; read picking a garage door company before booking a custom door.
Do not try lifting it by hand or with the opener button; a wood or glass double door without its spring can be 300 pounds or more of unassisted weight. Leave it down and call (651) 888-8270; our emergency repair service moves to the front of the schedule.

Doors Drawn by the Architect
9 and 10-foot openings, low headers over side-load garages, glass and cedar doors no stock spring or rail opener was sized for.
Wood, Glass and the Weight They Add
Cedar overlays and glass panels weigh far more than catalog steel, so builder springs let go early and the opener strips its gear doing the lifting.
Wind Off Wayzata Bay
Drifts against doors facing the water, frost on the photo eyes and the glass, wood rails frozen to the slab, salt off Highway 12 on the cables.
