Hayesville is a crossroads village in the middle of Vermillion Township, Ashland County. It counted 447 people in 2020, one fewer than the 448 of 2010. That earlier census found 184 households in 192 housing units, and 61.4% of those households were married couples, with a median age of 42.8.
Even a village this size has dozens of garage doors, plus barns and machine sheds on the farms around it. We fix them all, with same-day service on most calls here just as in the cities.
Some Hayesville doors have been patched for decades. When it is time, we measure the opening, order a Clopay, Wayne Dalton or Amarr door to fit, and hang it with new springs and track. See how a replacement works. LiftMaster and Chamberlain openers are available too (opener installation).
Lemuel Boulter originally owned the land the village stands on, and he sold his interest to Linus Hayes. The first settlers arrived in 1817, and a post office opened in 1827 at a place called Hayes Cross Roads. Hayesville was laid out in Vermillion Township, with its lots recorded in Mansfield on October 26, 1830, and it was incorporated as a village in 1849. Hayes Cross Roads, in time, became Hayesville. Across the county, the first settlers had been families from Windham County, Connecticut.
The village has never been large. The census counted 441 people in 1850 and 576 in 1870, dropped to 247 in 1920, and counted 435 in 1960 and 518 in 1980. That means many of its houses are old, and so are their garages: narrow doors, extension springs and openers bolted on decades after the garage went up.
Crossroads country is open country. Blowing snow drifts against garage doors, and meltwater refreezes along the bottom seal overnight. The result is a door that is heavier and stickier than usual just when its springs are at their stiffest.
Shovel the drift away from the door before opening it, and book an autumn tune-up call to set the springs for winter.
Vermillion Township was organized in 1816 and had 2,558 residents in 2020. It is the only Vermillion Township in Ohio, spelled with two L's, although Erie County has a Vermilion Township with one. It covers part of south-central Ashland County, next to Mohican Township and Jeromesville on the east and Green Township, home of Perrysville, on the south. Among Hayesville's notable people is Ralph Eugene Diffendorfer, a Methodist clergyman who helped design the Christian flag.
Excellent, quick, and professional service! I highly recommend.

It runs through an extension spring and holds the pieces if the spring breaks, so they cannot fly across the garage. Every extension-spring door should have them.
