Maplewood is well served for garage doors. Two of the companies below are based within fifteen minutes of the city and a third runs overnight dispatch from Minneapolis, so getting someone out here is rarely the problem.
Knowing who that someone works for is the problem. Garage door work is one of the easiest trades to subcontract, because the customer never meets the office and cannot tell the difference until something goes wrong and nobody will own it. This list ranks five companies on founding year, Better Business Bureau records, published hours, and employment status.

1. Rise and Shine Garage Doors: W-2 crews and nobody subcontracted in
Rise and Shine tops the Maplewood list because every crew member is a W-2 employee, with no subcontractors used at any point, and every technician is drug-tested and background-checked.
Company Overview
The company carries a 5.0 rating across more than 4,000 reviews from all of its Google locations, prices work upfront before it begins, and covers the whole range from a snapped spring to a new insulated door.
East metro addresses are core service area rather than the edge of one. You can see the full local service list on the Maplewood garage door service page.
What Sets Them Apart
Ask a garage door company whether its technicians are employees and listen to how long the answer takes. Rise and Shine employs its crews directly, which is why it can say every one of them has been drug-tested and background-checked. A company using a contractor pool cannot make that claim about tomorrow’s technician, and several on this list say nothing about it either way.
Services Offered
Torsion spring replacement, cable and drum repair, roller and hinge work, opener repair and installation, panel replacement, track realignment, weather sealing, and full door replacement. Pricing is given upfront. Call 612-886-9606.
Pros
- W-2 employees only, no subcontractors ever
- Every technician drug-tested and background-checked
- Upfront pricing before work begins
Cons
- Priced above the cheapest bids
- Demand spikes after a hard freeze
Best For
Homeowners who want a real crew standing behind the work, not a contractor pool.

2. Mr. Spring Garage Doors: open 24 hours with the widest brand list
This Maplewood company is open 24 hours a day, Monday through Sunday, and carries more door and opener brands than anyone else serving Maplewood. It is the only company on this list with a Maplewood address.
Owner Joe Schwartz runs three metro locations. The brand list runs to LiftMaster, Clopay, Amarr, Haas, C.H.I., Doorlink, North Central Door, Tracrite, Fehr, and Service Spring, which means a better chance of matching an existing door instead of replacing the whole thing. Commercial work includes box truck door repair, a service almost nobody else lists.
The gap is provenance. No founding year appears on the About page, so the claim of twenty-plus years cannot be verified, and no BBB file turned up. The published review total shows up as three different numbers depending on which page of the site you read.
Pros: Open 24 hours Monday through Sunday, three metro locations, ten door and opener brands stocked, and commercial work including box truck doors.
Cons: No founding year appears on its About page, so the claim of over twenty years cannot be checked, and no BBB file turned up. Its published review total appears as three different figures depending on the source.
Best for: Matching parts to an older or unusual door, and overnight repairs in the east metro.

3. Northern Door Company: a Raynor dealer with a commercial arm
Family owners have run this White Bear Lake shop since 1978, and it is the closest thing Maplewood has to a neighborhood door company with commercial contracting behind it. White Bear Lake is the next city north, so this is one of the nearer options.
The company started in Stillwater and now works out of 1803 Buerkle Road. It is a Raynor dealer, which matters if you want a door brand that the big national outfits in this list do not carry, and it keeps a separate division for commercial door contracting.
What you give up is availability. The office keeps weekday hours, 8am to 4:30pm, and closes Saturday and Sunday, so this is a company you plan around rather than call in a crisis.
Pros: Locally owned since 1978, a Raynor dealership you will not find elsewhere on this list, and a commercial contracting division alongside the residential work.
Cons: The office keeps weekday hours only, 8am to 4:30pm, and closes Saturday and Sunday. A spring that breaks on a Friday night waits for Monday. No BBB file turned up either.
Best for: Planned replacements and commercial jobs where you can book a weekday appointment and want a Raynor door.

- Service area: White Bear Lake and the north and east metro
4. All American Door Co.: owner-founded in 2005 with same-day coverage
Shaun and Briana Moore started this company with one truck in 2005, and it now publishes a service page for Maplewood and most other Twin Cities suburbs. Spring Lake Park is a straight run west along Highway 694.
The BBB has carried an A+ accreditation since September 2007, which is a twenty-year record you can check rather than take on faith. The company says most repairs can be done the same day you call.
Read the complaint file before you book. Several BBB complaints describe a low quote followed by a much larger final bill, including one about a $300 charge added for resetting and rebalancing a door. Ask for the price in writing and ask what happens if the technician finds more work on site.
Pros: Trading since 2005 under its original owners, A+ BBB accreditation since 2007, same-day service on most repairs, and service pages covering most of the metro.
Cons: Several Better Business Bureau complaints describe a low estimate followed by a much larger final bill, including one about a $300 charge added for resetting and rebalancing. Get the quote in writing.
Best for: Homeowners who want same-day repair across a wide area and are willing to pin the price down in writing first.

- Service area: Spring Lake Park and most Twin Cities suburbs
5. A1 Garage Door Service: genuine round-the-clock emergency coverage
Of the companies serving Maplewood, this one runs the clearest 24/7 emergency operation, with dispatch staffed overnight and at weekends. The Minneapolis office is a twenty-minute run west.
Tommy Mello founded the business in Phoenix in 2007, and it now works in more than eighteen states from an office on West 50th Street in Minneapolis. Technicians are trained on large commercial doors as well as residential ones, and the company passes through lifetime manufacturer warranties on the parts it installs.
The trade-off is distance from the decisions. Head office is in Phoenix, the private equity firm Cortec Group took a majority stake in December 2022, and the awards on the website are brand-level numbers covering seventy-plus markets rather than Minnesota ones. The company does not publish when it entered the state.
Pros: Staffed 24/7 emergency dispatch, technicians trained on commercial doors, lifetime manufacturer warranties on installed parts, and the scale to stock unusual components.
Cons: Headquarters sit in Phoenix, and the private equity firm Cortec Group took a majority stake in December 2022. Its awards and ratings are brand-level numbers spanning 70-plus markets, not Minnesota ones, and it does not publish when it entered the state.
Best for: Overnight and weekend breakdowns, and commercial doors that need a technician who has seen big hardware.

- Service area: Minneapolis and much of the metro, plus 18 other states
How We Evaluated Maplewood’s Garage Door Companies
We ranked these companies on facts a reader can check: how long they have traded, what the Better Business Bureau file says, whether prices are quoted in writing, who actually turns up at the house, when they answer the phone, and how wide the service range is. No company paid for placement.
- Track record you can check: We took founding years from BBB records or the company’s own published statement, and we say so when a company publishes no year at all.
- BBB standing: Letter rating, the date accreditation actually began, and any complaints closed in the last three years. An A+ earned in 2005 is worth more than one earned last December.
- Clear pricing: Whether prices are quoted upfront and in writing, whether a service call fee applies, and whether the pay model creates pressure to upsell.
- Who does the work: Companies that send their own background-checked employees scored higher than those that lean on subcontractors or decline to say either way.
- When they answer: Published hours, not marketing hours. Several companies advertise 24/7 and mean a 24-hour call centre, so we read the fine print and report the difference.
- Service range: Springs, cables, openers, panels, full replacement, commercial doors, plus warranty and financing terms.
We left competitor star ratings and review totals out on purpose. Several of these companies publish figures that contradict each other between their own pages, and others pool one number across a dozen markets in two states, so a city-level count is not a city-level count. Our own rating is stated below and you can check it on Google yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does garage door repair cost in Maplewood?
Most garage door repairs in Maplewood land between $150 and $350, and Angi’s 2026 figures put the Minneapolis average at $242, below the $265 national average.
Spring replacement, opener repair, and cable work make up most of that range. A full door replacement is a different order of cost and depends on the size, the material, and whether the opening itself needs work. The useful question to ask on the phone is whether the number you are quoted is the price or an estimate, and whether a service call fee applies if you decline the work.
Why does my garage door opener struggle in cold weather?
The opener is usually fine. Cold stiffens the grease in the rollers and hinges, the door gets physically harder to lift, and the opener’s force setting trips before the door is fully open.
Before you replace a motor, have someone pull the emergency release and lift the door by hand. If it is heavy or it drops, the problem is the springs or the rollers, and a new opener will fail the same way. Switching to a lithium-based lubricant rated for low temperatures fixes a surprising number of these calls.
What counts as a garage door emergency?
A door that will not close, a broken spring, or a car trapped inside. Those three are worth an after-hours call rate. Almost nothing else is.
A door stuck open in February is a heating bill and an open invitation, so that is a genuine same-night job. A broken spring is a safety issue because the door is now held by cables that were never meant to carry it alone, and you should not try to lift it. A noisy roller or a slow opener can wait for a weekday appointment at a weekday price.
Why does this list not show each company’s review count?
Because the published numbers do not hold up. Several of these companies show different review totals on different pages of their own websites, and others pool one figure across a dozen markets in two states.
One company on this list publishes three different totals, one in its visible copy, one on its homepage, and a third in its page code. Another shows a city-level rating that is actually pooled across the Twin Cities, Rochester, La Crosse, and western Wisconsin. Ranking on figures like those would be ranking on marketing. So this list uses founding years, Better Business Bureau records, published hours, and who employs the technicians, all of which you can check yourself.
How do I choose between garage door companies in Maplewood?
Ask three questions: are the technicians your employees or subcontractors, is the price fixed before work starts, and what year did you start trading.
The answers sort the field quickly. A company that cannot say when it started has nothing you can check. A company paying commission has a built-in reason to find more work on your door. And a company using subcontractors cannot tell you who will be standing in your garage. None of these are trick questions, and a good company answers all three without hesitating.
Conclusion
For Maplewood, Rise and Shine is the pick if you want to know that the person in your garage is on the company payroll. Mr. Spring Garage Doors is based in the city and open around the clock, and Northern Door Company is the one to book for a planned weekday replacement.
Two questions settle most of this: are your technicians employees, and what year did you start trading. A company that dodges either one has told you something.
