Auburn Township covers a piece of southern Geauga County, with Bainbridge on one side and Troy Township on the other, and the 2020 census found 6,574 residents. Without a single village or city inside its borders, it is countryside, with homes on roads that run past fields and woods toward Aurora and Mantua Township on the Portage County line.
Houses out here often have an attached garage plus a detached one or a barn with its own overhead door. Each one can get springs, cables, rollers, an opener or a whole new door from us, with same-day service on most calls, often within 1 hour. We're available 24/7.
Country properties look good with barn-style carriage doors or clean steel ones, and we hang both from Clopay, Amarr and Wayne Dalton, and insulated models keep a workshop garage warmer. See door installation. For a detached garage, a Genie or LiftMaster opener with an outdoor keypad saves walking out with a remote; opener installation.
Auburn Township was founded by the Bradley and Snow families, who came from South Newbury, New Hampshire. Ohio has two other Auburn Townships, in Crawford and Tuscarawas counties. Geauga County itself was founded on March 1, 1806, as the second county in the Connecticut Western Reserve, and its first settlement was at Burton, where three Connecticut families arrived in 1798. The county's name comes from an Onondaga or Seneca word for raccoon, first used for the Grand River.
Across Geauga County, 86.6% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, and 78.6% of people are counted as rural. Rural lots mean long driveways, gravel carried in on tires and doors that may sit for weeks on an outbuilding. Rollers and hinges seize from disuse as often as from wear, and we free them, lubricate them or replace them, then balance the door so it lifts evenly.
Geauga County gets more precipitation than any other county in northern Ohio, over 42 inches in a typical year across most of it and more than 44 in places. Rain and snowmelt soak the ground beside garage doors, and in winter that moisture freezes the bottom seal to the slab.
Pulling a frozen door with the opener can snap a cable or bend a section. Loosen the ice first, and if the door still won't rise, call. Every annual tune-up covers the seal, lubrication and spring balance.
Auburn students attend the Kenston Local School District, formed in 1953 when the Bainbridge and Auburn districts combined. The name Kenston comes from Kent's Town, the area's name before the townships were formed; Bainburn, a blend of the two township names, was also considered. Kenston runs a single high school, middle school and elementary school, and its current high school building dates from 2006.
Newbury Township lies north of Auburn, Troy Township east, Mantua Township in Portage County south and Bainbridge west, and Aurora meets it at the southwest corner.
Excellent, quick, and professional service! I highly recommend.

When it is a sectional door that lifts overhead, certainly. Barn and outbuilding repairs are part of our regular work.
Usually. The garage needs power and a ceiling that can hold the rail. We handle the install, sensors and keypad.
It is, from the Newbury line down to Mantua Township.
