For homeowners, a stuck garage door is a morning ruined. For landlords, it's a tenant on the phone. We handle both, and we answer 24/7: springs, cables, off-track doors, rollers, openers and remotes, plus new doors and openers when repair won't do.
A new steel door with a good bottom seal is often the best upgrade for a house from the 1960s or 1970s. Choose raised panels, flush panels or a carriage-house look, with or without windows. insulated models from Wayne Dalton or Clopay hold heat in a garage that shares a wall with the family room. Door replacement.
Tired of an opener that groans? Swap it for a Genie or LiftMaster unit with rolling codes and a standby battery. Opener installation.
Bedford Heights was founded on February 20, 1951. It had been part of Bedford Township and the City of Bedford, and that year the northeast corner of the township broke away and incorporated as a village. Robert E. Willeford and his wife Georgina worked hard to make it happen. The rest of the old township's unincorporated land was divided the same year among Bedford Heights, Oakwood and Walton Hills. Bedford Heights became a city in 1961.
Growth was fast. The 1960 census counted 5,275 people, and by 1970 there were 13,063, rising to 13,214 in 1980. Almost the whole city was built within those three decades, so its garages share a lot of the same hardware and are aging together.
Many of those original doors have been swapped for newer ones, but not always their tracks, springs or openers. A replacement door hung on 1960s track with the old springs can feel heavy and run rough. When we come out, we check the whole system and balance the door properly.
Tinker's Creek winds through Bedford Heights on its way west toward Bedford and, eventually, the Cuyahoga Valley. Low ground near the creek stays damp, and damp garages rust springs, hinges and cable brackets.
Winter brings freeze and thaw, and the busy interstates here mean plenty of road salt. Salt dripping off cars eats at a door's bottom edge and at the corner fittings where each lift cable is anchored. If your door jerks, squeals or drops on one side, have it looked at. A yearly tune-up is the easiest way to keep those parts from failing.
Interstate 271 and Interstate 480 meet in Bedford Heights and run together through the city, Bedford and Oakwood, a stretch known for rush-hour congestion. U.S. 422 has an exit at Richmond Road and Emery Road here as well, and Richmond Road (State Route 175) begins at Aurora Road on the Bedford Heights and Solon line.

That depends on your lease, so check with your landlord first. We’re happy to talk with the owner or property manager and send them the details before we start.
It can be. Springs have to match the door’s weight. If the old ones were reused on a heavier door, the opener works too hard and the springs wear out fast. We check and replace them if needed.
Most spring, cable and opener repairs are done on the first visit, since our technicians carry common parts.
