What We Do in Hudson

In northeastern Summit County, Hudson counted 23,110 residents at the 2020 census. Its 8,049 households lean toward families: 74.1% are married couples and 38.4% have children under 18. The old village and Hudson Township governed themselves separately until voters merged them in 1994, so today's city pairs a historic center with subdivisions spread over former township land.

Busy families mean garage doors that cycle all day long. We keep them working: broken torsion springs, cables that jumped their drums, doors knocked off track and openers that quit. Call us 24/7, weekends and holidays included, and ask about new doors and openers when a repair isn't worth the money.

Hudson Service Calls, Old Houses and New

  • Heavy two- and three-car doors whose springs wear out together. When one breaks, the other usually isn't far behind, so we often replace the pair. Details on torsion spring replacement.
  • Openers installed decades ago, including Craftsman units, that finally strip a gear or lose their logic board. We repair them or tell you plainly when a new one costs less over time; see opener repair.
  • Rollers, hinges and track worn from years of daily trips, making the door shake and grind. Hardware replacement makes it smooth again.
  • Doors that reverse for no reason, usually a sensor bumped out of line by a bike or a storage bin. More on sensor fixes.

Doors for a Historic Main Street Town

Carriage-house designs, arched window tops and wood-grain finishes suit the older streets, while newer subdivisions often go with a clean raised-panel door in a dark color. We install Clopay and Amarr doors, including insulated models that help heat a room built over the garage. Everything is measured before we order; browse door installation.

On the opener side, a LiftMaster unit with phone control lets you check from anywhere that the door is closed. Ask about opener installation when we come out.

Storefronts, Plazas and Big Buildings

Hudson's shopping is concentrated in a few places: the two downtown blocks of historic buildings on North Main Street, a shopping plaza on West Streetsboro Street whose first part opened in 1962, and a mixed-use development just west of North Main that opened in 2004. East of Route 91 stands a factory built in 1958 for crawler tractors that grew to a million square feet. Loading docks, service entrances and delivery bays at buildings like these depend on overhead sectional doors; we handle commercial door repair and operators.

Settled From Goshen, Connecticut, in 1799

David Hudson arrived from Goshen, Connecticut, in 1799, when this was the Connecticut Western Reserve, and built the first log house in Summit County; a marker set in a boulder at Baldwin Street and North Main Street remembers it. The village at the center of the township incorporated in 1837. Western Reserve College, founded here in 1826 and called the "Yale of the West," moved to Cleveland in 1882 and became part of Case Western Reserve University. Its Yale-inspired red brick buildings are now Western Reserve Academy, and the Loomis Observatory, built in 1838, is the oldest observatory in the U.S. still in its original location.

In 1973 a large area of the village was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Hudson Historic District, which was expanded in 1989. On an old house in or near the district, the right garage door usually looks like a carriage-house door from a century ago but opens with a remote. Steel and composite doors with applied trim and dark hardware give that look without the scraping and repainting wood demands.

Creeks, Woods and Damp Garages

Water leaving Hudson drains into five watersheds, the three largest being Brandywine Creek, Mud Brook and Tinker's Creek. The Hudson Park Board oversees more than a thousand acres of parkland, from the 50-acre lake at Hudson Springs Park to wooded preserves such as Doc's Woods, MacLaren Woods and Trumbull Woods.

All that water and shade keep many garages damp. Moisture wicks into the bottom section of a door, rusts the brackets that anchor the lift cables and softens wooden jambs. If you see a gap under the door or a stain along the floor after rain, have it looked at. We replace bottom seals and threshold strips, swap rusted brackets before they let go, and go over the whole door during a tune-up visit.

Main Street, the Clock Tower and John Brown's Hometown

State Routes 8, 91 and 303 pass through Hudson, Interstate 480 cuts across the extreme northeast corner, and the Ohio Turnpike crosses the city from west to east. Downtown has kept its two-lane streets, and Hudson was recognized as a Bike Friendly America Bronze City in 2016. The Hudson Clock Tower was built in 1912 by James Ellsworth, who was born in Hudson in 1849; 3,000-pound weights once powered its clocks and Westminster chimes.

John Brown grew up and was educated in Hudson from 1805 to 1825, and at a November 1837 prayer meeting of the First Congregational Church he made his first public vow to destroy slavery. As of 2019, 21 places in and around Hudson had been linked to the Underground Railroad. The Hudson City School District teaches about 4,600 children, and its teams are the Explorers.
