An Inupiaq village on Sarichef Island, a barrier island off the north coast of the Seward Peninsula facing the Chukchi Sea. We are a Clopay Master Authorized Dealer in Kent, Washington, shipping new garage doors and commercial overhead doors to Shishmaref. 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 Shishmaref
A garage door is the biggest moving part of a house, and Shishmaref deserves a real choice, not just what is on hand. We are a Kent, Washington Clopay Master Authorized Dealer, and we get Shishmaref the right door specced, crated and on its way north.
Shishmaref lives with an eroding shoreline, and storms throw wind, sand and salt across the island. Doors need corrosion-resistant finishes and tight seals that keep blowing sand in summer and snow in winter out of the garage. The shops where village equipment is kept running depend on commercial overhead doors, and families rely on sound garage doors to protect boats, sleds and hunting gear.
Most Bering Strait orders go out as insulated Intellicore steel, and carriage-house, glass, custom wood and commercial overhead doors ship just as easily. Alaska Marine Lines lists Shishmaref on its Western Alaska and Arctic run, a summer season of roughly April through October, so timing the order to that window matters. 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.
How it works
Tell us the opening size and the look you want, or try designs on a photo of your home with the EZDoor visualizer. We confirm the exact spec.
You get an itemized quote for the door itself. Shipping is freight collect, so the freight carrier bills you directly, with no markup from us.
As a Master Authorized Dealer we order your door from Clopay and crate it, packed to travel. Alaska Marine Lines lists Shishmaref on its Western Alaska and Arctic run, a summer season of roughly April through October, so timing the order to that window matters.
Install is not included. You pick the freight up at your local terminal, and you or your own contractor hangs the door. We are a phone call away for questions along the way.
