An Inupiaq whaling community, known as Tikigaq, on a gravel spit that reaches out into the Chukchi Sea. We are a Clopay Master Authorized Dealer in Kent, Washington, shipping new garage doors and commercial overhead doors to Point Hope. We ship the door, not a crew: your order is supply and ship, and you or your own contractor takes delivery at the local terminal and installs it.
Shipping to Point Hope
You should not have to settle for whatever is sitting on a local lot. As a Clopay Master Authorized Dealer in Kent, Washington, we help Point Hope homeowners, builders and property managers spec the right door, then crate it and freight it north.
Point Hope takes weather from the open sea on several sides, with wind that rarely lets up and salt that gets into everything. Doors need corrosion-resistant finishes and seals that hold against spray and blowing snow alike. Between hunts, whaling crews store boats and gear indoors, and borough equipment shops, the fire hall and the school all need commercial overhead doors that keep running in hard sea weather.
For North Slope we usually lean toward Clopay's Intellicore insulated steel for warmth and quiet, though any line we carry can make the trip. Point Hope is a port of service on Alaska Marine Lines' Western Alaska barge run, which operates roughly April through October before ice closes the coast, so the order gets planned around that summer window. Whichever way it travels, your door ships freight collect: we quote the door, the carrier bills you for the shipping, and you pay the real cost.
