Canfield is a Mahoning County city of 7,699 residents (2020), set at the crossing of U.S. Routes 62 and 224 and surrounded on every side by Canfield Township. It is a settled, home-owning place: 83.4% of occupied homes are owner-occupied, the homeowner vacancy rate is only 0.9%, and 57.7% of the 3,229 households are married couples. The median age is 46.7.
The city occupies the central part of its township, and homes that stay in one family for decades have garage doors with years of daily cycles behind them. When yours finally quits, ring us: someone from our crew will pull into your Canfield driveway the same day on most calls.
On a colonial or a newer two-story, a raised-panel or carriage-house design suits the house; Amarr and Clopay both build good ones, and Wayne Dalton makes a strong insulated line for attached garages. We take down the old door and haul it off (the installation process), then hang a quiet belt-drive LiftMaster or Chamberlain unit (which opener to pick).
Canfield Township was established in 1798 as township number 1 in range 3, bought from the Connecticut Land Company by six men, though most of it belonged to land agent Judson Canfield, whose name the township took in 1800. Settlers came mainly from Connecticut, with German immigrants arriving around 1805 and Irish around 1852. By 1805 the settlement had about 17 homes, a store and a school, and it became a trade center for the region.
When Mahoning County was formed in 1846, Canfield was made its county seat, and the village incorporated in 1849. The legislature voted to move the seat to Youngstown in 1874, and Canfield became the center of the farming community in central Mahoning County. Its classic revival houses include the Charles Ruggles House and the Judge Eben Newton House, both on the National Register of Historic Places.
The town stayed small for a century, with 1,015 people in 1930, then more than doubled from 1,465 in 1950 to 3,252 in 1960 and kept growing to 7,515 by 2010. So most Canfield garages are attached doors from the postwar decades on, with a few older detached ones near the center.
Open farm ground surrounds much of Canfield Township, and January wind blows straight across the fields and into the gap under a worn bottom seal. Deep cold makes spring steel brittle, and a spring with many thousands of lifts behind it will often choose a frozen morning to snap with a bang.
If you hear that bang, keep the car inside and the opener off. A late-summer service call, before fair week is the easy way to catch a tired spring or a fraying cable early.
Canfield is best known for the Canfield Fairgrounds and the Canfield Fair, one of the largest fairs in Ohio, held over Labor Day weekend with an annual attendance of 300,000. The Lennon Sisters opened its entertainment in 1956, and Bob Hope, Dolly Parton and The Beach Boys are among the acts who have played there since.
The War Vet Museum occupies the city's oldest structure still on its original site, built in 1809, and Loghurst, a farm museum, is housed in the oldest remaining log cabin in the Connecticut Western Reserve. The Canfield Local School District runs two elementary schools, a middle school and Canfield High School, the Mahoning County Career and Technical Center offers vocational and adult education in town, and the city has a branch of the Public Library of Youngstown and Mahoning County.

Yes. The township, home to 16,944 people and the only Canfield Township in Ohio, is covered the same as the city.
Sometimes. Solid sections can be re-sprung and fitted with fresh rollers and cable and keep going; cracked or rusted panels are the sign it is time to replace.
From Canfield we also serve:
Near the green or out past the fairgrounds, a single call starts a Proactive truck toward you.
