From Humble Beginnings to Northern Alberta’s Trusted Door Experts

What started as a modest operation with just five dedicated employees has grown into a thriving team of over 20 skilled professionals.

Every member of our team has played a vital role in our journey, contributing their knowledge, loyalty, and care to help make Northern Doors what it is today.

2014

The company underwent a change in ownership, led by long-time overhead door professionals Blair and Jackie, together with Dan, a seasoned and successful local business owner. Together, they brought new energy, diverse expertise, and a fresh vision—while continuing to honor the strong legacy that Northern Doors was built on.

2017

Dan embarked on a new business venture, and experienced industry veterans Ken and Shane joined the ownership team. Their decades of hands-on knowledge and leadership further strengthened our commitment to delivering dependable service and high-quality overhead door solutions.

2018

Northern Doors expanded operations with the launch of our Hollow Metal Man Door Division, enhancing our ability to serve commercial and industrial clients with secure, reliable entry systems.

2019

We moved into our current home in the Richmond Industrial Park at 8702-111A Street, Grande Prairie, giving us the space to grow, expand our inventory, and continue improving our service offerings.

Our Legacy, Continued

While Ken and Jackie have stepped back from day-to-day operations, their leadership and influence continue to play a vital role in the success of Northern Doors.

Ken, a respected veteran in the overhead door industry, continues to represent Northern Doors at industry events and community functions. His decades of experience and deep knowledge of the trade make him an invaluable ambassador for our company and a trusted advisor to our team.

Jackie, who spent many years leading our residential division and building strong relationships with homeowners and homebuilders, remains a proud part-owner. Though retired from her operational role, her legacy of exceptional customer care and attention to detail still guides our approach today.

We’re honoured to continue the work they helped shape—upholding the values of professionalism, integrity, and service excellence that has defined Northern Doors

Going the Distance for Our Customers

While our roots are in Grande Prairie, our service area extends across the entire Peace Country, Northwestern Alberta, and Northeastern BC. We’re committed to going wherever our customers need us—whether it’s a rural farm, a remote industrial site, or a northern community.

From the Northwest Territories to Kitimat, BC, and even as far as Greenland, our team has answered the call. When you choose Northern Doors, you’re choosing a company that truly goes the distance—both in service and support.

Meet Our Office Staff

Blair, Owner at Northern Doors in Grande Prairie

Meet Blair

Owner & Our All-Around Go-To Guy

With over 40 years of experience in the overhead door industry, 35 of those years spent serving Grande Prairie and the Peace Country—Blair is one of the most trusted names in the business. He is well known by local builders and contractors for his integrity, work ethic, and hands-on expertise, Blair has done it all. As Manager, Blair brings unmatched knowledge to the table—but his title only tells part of the story. He’s a hands-on leader, always ready to tackle any challenge and step in wherever he’s needed. Whether it’s installing doors, servicing doors, troubleshooting issues, fixing broken tools in the shop, running the forklift and bobcat, doing yard maintenance, or out in the shop pulling together orders and parts. Blair is rarely at his desk. He prefers to be where the action is working closely with technicians when needed and ensuring everything is done to the highest standard. In addition to his day-to-day involvement on the shop floor and in the field, Blair also handles some of our Commercial Overhead Door and Hollow Metal Man Door estimating, and helps customers at the front counter with parts inquiries, and provides troubleshooting advice to customers offering reliable guidance backed by decades of experience. Outside of work, Blair enjoys camping and fishing with his wife and daughter—relaxing outdoors after a week of keeping things running smoothly at Northern Doors. With Blair, you get a hands-on leader, a seasoned expert, and someone who’s always willing to roll up his sleeves to get the job done.

Meet Shane

Owner & Senior Field Adviser

Shane was born and raised in Grande Prairie and grew up immersed in the door industry from an early age. His overhead door journey began in 1973 when his father founded a local door company—sparking a lifelong passion that took root early as he worked alongside family, learning every facet of the trade from the ground up. With over 37 years of experience, Shane has become a trusted expert in Commercial Door Installations. He’s known not only for his extensive technical knowledge but also for the exceptional customer service he brings to every job. Shane thrives in the field, working directly with customers, mentoring team members, and ensuring projects are completed with care and precision. Though he’s a seasoned installer and technician, Shane also plays a vital role behind the scenes. Beyond the field, he helps coordinate the products required for the installers and service technicians, receives and organizes incoming product, and completes many of our jobchecks to ensure everything stays on track and up to standard. When he’s not working, Shane loves spending time with his family and friends—whether it’s relaxing at home, driving around his classic car, or exploring the great outdoors on his riverboat in search of the next big catch. With Shane, you get decades of knowledge, a calm and capable presence, and someone who brings consistency, care, and leadership to every part of the job.
