Around Acme
Bayfront homes and growing subdivisions
Acme sits at the junction of US-31 and M-72 on the East Arm of Grand Traverse Bay, home to Grand Traverse Resort and Spa. Along the shore, homes and condos face open water and take wind straight off the bay. That wind drives snow and cold at door seals, and a worn weatherstrip shows up quickly as drafts, snow on the garage floor and ice at the threshold.
Inland, Acme Township spreads into newer subdivisions and larger lots, with attached garages that get used every day. Daily use is what wears out springs, rollers and openers, so these are the doors where a regular tune-up pays off.
Some Acme properties are seasonal or rental homes. A door that has sat unused deserves a check before it goes back into service. Listen for grinding, and watch for a door that drifts down or creeps back up when you let go of it. Leave springs and cables to our crew.
