An Inupiaq village on the upper Kobuk River, set between Ambler downstream and Kobuk a short way upstream. We are a Clopay Master Authorized Dealer in Kent, Washington, shipping new garage doors and commercial overhead doors to Shungnak. 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 Shungnak
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 Shungnak homeowners, builders and property managers spec the right door, then crate it and freight it north.
Shungnak's winters are long and still, with cold that settles in the valley and stays. That kind of cold stiffens weatherstripping and punishes poorly insulated sections, so a door needs to hold its seal through months below freezing. The clinic, the school and storage for river boats all depend on overhead doors, and homes need garages that keep machines ready to start.
For Kobuk River we usually lean toward Clopay's Intellicore insulated steel for warmth and quiet, though any line we carry can make the trip. Alaska Marine Lines serves Shungnak through its Kotzebue port of service on the 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.
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.

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.
