Cleveland wraps around Brooklyn on the north, east and west, with Parma to the south and tiny Linndale also on its north side. That leaves a small city, where the 2020 census found 11,359 residents in 5,266 households.
Garage doors in Brooklyn get the same wear as anywhere in Northeast Ohio: springs snap, cables fray, doors come off track and openers give out. We answer those calls 24/7, and put in replacement doors and openers when the old ones are done.
A small detached garage usually does best with a sturdy, no-frills steel door. Where the garage shares a wall with the house, an insulated door keeps the cold out of the house. Amarr, Wayne Dalton and Clopay each make models that fit here; start with Amarr, compare Wayne Dalton or look at Clopay.
On rental properties, an opener with a keypad means no more lost remotes. Keypad-ready models from Genie, Chamberlain or LiftMaster are all options; see opener installation.
For a small city, Brooklyn has big employers, including large office operations and several big stores. Their loading docks and service doors see heavy use. Our commercial technicians keep them working; see commercial door repair.
Brooklyn Township was organized on June 1, 1818, and in its early years it reached all the way north to Lake Erie. Piece by piece it was annexed or incorporated, and the city of Brooklyn, in the southwest corner, was the last part to go. Its land now sits in two cities, Brooklyn and Cleveland, plus four villages: Brooklyn Heights, Cuyahoga Heights, Linndale and Newburgh Heights.
The city itself stayed small for many years: 784 residents in 1930 and 1,108 in 1940. After the war the lots filled quickly, with 6,317 people in 1950, 10,733 in 1960 and 13,142 in 1970. By 2020 there were 5,608 housing units.
That boom means a lot of Brooklyn homes, and their garages, are from the late 1940s through the 1960s. Detached single-car garages and narrow attached ones are common from that era. Many have had their doors replaced along the way, but the old tracks, frames or wiring may still be there. We check the whole setup, not just the part that broke.
Brooklyn also has a mix of owners and renters: in 2020, 56.5% of occupied homes were owner-occupied and 43.5% were rented. If you own a rental or a small apartment building with garages, we can work with your tenants and keep you posted.
On October 20, 1955, Elvis Presley played the Brooklyn High School auditorium. It was his first concert in the northern United States and is believed to be the first filmed concert of his career, nearly a year before his first Ed Sullivan Show, and he wasn't even the headliner. In 1998 the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame named the school a Historic Rock and Roll Landmark.
Winters here aren't famous, but they're rough on garage doors. Slush from Tiedeman Road and Biddulph Avenue melts on the garage floor, and the salt in it rusts cables and brackets. Cold snaps finish off tired springs. A tune-up visit each fall helps.
The welcome sign stands at Biddulph Avenue and Tiedeman Road. Brooklyn High School, where the Hurricanes wear royal blue and gold, is the lone high school in the city's school district, and its marching band dates to 1947. Mail uses ZIP code 44144.
Just outside Brooklyn, our crews also work in Cleveland, Parma, Brooklyn Heights, Seven Hills and Parma Heights.

Yes. We’ll set a time with your tenant, make the repair and send you a note with what was done.
Yes. Tight side room just means choosing the right track and hardware, and we check that before ordering.
Yes. Brooklyn is small, and we cover it end to end.
Not usually. If there’s power in the garage, it’s a same-visit job. If there isn’t, an electrician will need to add an outlet first, and then we install the opener.
