Right at the edge of the Cuyahoga Valley, with the Cuyahoga River along its eastern border, Brecksville spreads over a large area known for wooded bluffs and ravines, formed where the Glaciated Allegheny Plateau meets the Great Lakes Basin. In 2020 the city had 13,635 residents in 5,455 households, and 87.2% of occupied homes were owner-occupied.
From ravine-side homes to newer streets near the interstate, we repair broken springs, cables, rollers and openers 24/7, and we install replacement doors and openers built to last.
Many Brecksville homeowners want a door that looks like wood without the upkeep. Steel carriage-house doors with a wood-grain finish fit that bill, and an insulated core keeps the garage comfortable. Look at Clopay first, then compare Wayne Dalton and Amarr. See garage door installation.
An opener with a backup battery still runs after a storm knocks the power out, and a phone app lets you shut the door from the trailhead. LiftMaster, Genie and Chamberlain all make models like that; see opener choices.
Brecksville is home to headquarters and large operations for a number of companies, and the 200-acre former Veterans Affairs hospital site at Interstate 77 and Miller Road is being developed with offices, apartments and condominiums. Offices, research buildings and service areas all use overhead doors. We repair them; see commercial door service.
Several men, including Colonel John Breck, bought this land four years before the first family moved in. After it was surveyed, one of the surveyors, Seth Payne, brought his family here in June 1811, and other families soon followed. Breck himself never lived in Brecksville, but his three sons did, and the Breck family stayed until 1934. The Jonas Coonrad House is one of the city's historic homes.
The village was incorporated in 1921, and city status followed in 1960. It grew from 2,665 people in 1950 to 5,435 in 1960, 9,137 in 1970 and 13,382 in 2000. About 7.9% of residents still live in areas the census counts as rural.
That spread of building years means spread-out garages too. A 1960s house may have a single-width door that sticks on old hardware. A newer home often has a wide, heavy door and a second door beside it. And a house tucked back on a wooded lot may have a long driveway and a garage that takes the full brunt of shade, damp and falling leaves.
Trees are part of what makes Brecksville beautiful, but they're hard on a garage door. Shady lots stay damp, leaves pile up against the weatherstrip, and moisture works its way into wood doors and the steel hardware at the lower corners.
Winter adds snow and salt from Brecksville Road and Route 82. A door that sticks, sags or leaves a gap at the floor lets in water, cold and critters. In one visit we can fit a fresh seal, adjust the door and check the springs and cables, or add you to our yearly maintenance plan.
State Route 21, called Brecksville Road, runs north and south, and State Route 82 crosses it as Royalton Road to the west and Chippewa Road to the east. Interstate 77 has two exits in the city, and the Ohio Turnpike is just south in Richfield. Buses to downtown Cleveland and downtown Akron meet at Miller Road and Southpoint Boulevard. Mail uses ZIP code 44141.
The Brecksville Reservation, the largest park in Cleveland Metroparks at over 3,000 acres, follows Chippewa Creek, and many neighborhoods border it or Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Brecksville Station on Riverview Road is a stop on the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad. The Brecksville-Broadview Heights schools serve about 4,000 students, and since 1972 local kids have learned street safety at Safety Town. Our route also takes in Broadview Heights, Independence, Sagamore Hills Township and Richfield.
