Red Wing's older housing stock — much of it built in the mid-20th century — often features garage openings that are slightly out of square or frames that have settled over decades. A one-size-fits-all installation doesn't work here; we inspect and adapt for local conditions. Minnesota's freeze-thaw cycles also affect door operation, so proper weatherstripping and balance are critical.
