Bainbridge Township fills the southwestern corner of Geauga County, a Cleveland suburb of 12,893 people at the 2020 census. Its neighbors are Solon to the west, Aurora to the south, Auburn to the east and Chagrin Falls and Bentleyville to the northwest. It has no city or village of its own; the census-designated place of Bainbridge sits at its center.
Homes here range from the older streets of Lake Lucerne to newer houses on wooded lots, and many have wide attached garages with heavy insulated doors. If one of those doors stops moving, our phones are answered 24/7 by a real human, never AI, and a technician gets to Bainbridge homes the same day on most calls.
A carriage-house design with decorative hardware or a wood-look steel door suits a wooded lot, and insulated construction keeps a three-car garage warmer. We install Clopay, Amarr and Wayne Dalton doors and haul the old ones away; see door installation.
For heavy doors we recommend a LiftMaster belt drive or wall-mount opener, with battery backup for storm outages. More at opener installation.
The township is named for Commodore William Bainbridge and is the only Bainbridge Township in Ohio; the village of Bainbridge in southern Ohio is in Ross County. Its first residents, the McConoughey family, came from Blandford, Massachusetts, and many other settlers followed. Bainbridge Township was established in 1817.
The first housing subdivision, Lake Lucerne, opened in 1922 and is still one of the largest in the township. Neighborhoods have filled in around it ever since, which gives Bainbridge a wide spread of garage ages. Older Lake Lucerne homes may have a single door that has been replaced piece by piece over the years; newer houses often have two or three doors with high-lift tracks and heavier springs. We weigh each door before sizing springs, because the wrong springs wear out an opener and make a heavy door dangerous to lift.
Rain and snow come often in Geauga County, whose yearly precipitation tops northern Ohio at over 42 inches in most spots. Lots of that falls as snow, and wet leaves, meltwater and ice build up at the foot of garage doors on wooded lots.
A torn bottom seal lets water in and lets the door freeze to the slab. If yours sticks, clear the ice before pressing the button, and replace the seal once it's cracked. We check seals, springs, cables and opener settings during every tune-up.
Geauga Lake straddles Bainbridge's southern line with Aurora, and the old amusement park by its shore sat mostly on the Bainbridge side. Its Big Dipper roller coaster opened in 1925 and ran for 82 years. The park closed in 2007, though the attached water park stayed open until 2016.
McFarland Creek, which runs through the township, is a tributary of the Chagrin's Aurora branch. That branch rises in northwest Portage County, flows northwest through Aurora and joins the main river west of Chagrin Falls, and its whitewater is rated class III-IV. The Chagrin is a state scenic river.
Bainbridge got its county library branch in 1965, first in a small storefront and later in a much larger building. The Bainbridge Men's Civic Club runs two annual fundraisers: the Taste of Bainbridge, started in 1997, where local eateries serve dishes to diners who donate an entry fee, and the Ox Roast, first held in 2012 at Centerville Mills Park, a former YMCA camp now owned by the township, with more activities and fewer food vendors. Their proceeds go to student scholarships and the Bainbridge Area Food for Friends. Kenston schools, formed when the Bainbridge and Auburn districts combined in 1953, serve most of the township; in 2006 Kenston opened a new high school along Bainbridge Road, turning the previous building into its middle school.
