South of Cleveland between Seven Hills and Valley View, Independence had 7,584 residents at the 2020 census, in 2,914 households, most of them (61.2%) married couples. Few homes sit empty: only 5.1% of its 3,069 housing units were vacant.
When your garage door gives out, we send a technician, with same-day service when available. Springs, cables, off-track doors, noisy rollers, broken openers and lost remotes are all everyday work for us, and so are new doors and openers.
A new insulated door from Wayne Dalton or Clopay is a big upgrade on a 1950s or 1960s house: warmer, quieter and better looking. Door installation.
Pair it with a LiftMaster opener with battery backup. Opener options.
In the 1970s the Rockside corridor was built up with offices and hotels to give downtown Cleveland companies room to grow, and in 1991 the tallest building between downtown Cleveland and Akron went up on Rockside Road. Offices, hotels and service buildings need their loading and parking doors working. We repair commercial doors and operators; see commercial repair.
The community was first called Center, and it took the name Independence in 1830. For a century it grew slowly: 262 people in 1880, 1,815 in 1940. After the war it more than doubled, from 3,105 in 1950 to 6,568 in 1960 and 7,034 by 1970.
Many homes date from that postwar jump, and garages from the 1950s and 1960s are often on a replacement door that was hung on the original track. Before we install anything new, we check whether the track, the header and the ceiling brackets are still sound.
Much of the city's land is taken up by the junction of Interstate 480 and Interstate 77, a four-level stack interchange that locals still call "the cloverleaf." The last piece of I-77 in Ohio opened here in Independence in 1976. Work on the Willow Freeway, which became I-77, stalled during World War II and wasn't finished until the 1950s, and I-480 tied in during the late 1970s. All that pavement gets salted hard in winter, and the salt ends up on your car and in your garage.
Salt spray and slush eat at the bottom seal, the lower hinges and the brackets that hold the lift cables. If your door shudders or one side drops, have it checked. A tune-up each year keeps the springs balanced and the hardware tight.
The Independence Local School District runs Independence Primary School, Independence Middle School and Independence High School. The Kent State University College of Podiatric Medicine is also in the city. The ZIP code is 44131.
Independence borders Brooklyn Heights, Cuyahoga Heights, Garfield Heights, Seven Hills, Valley View, North Royalton, Brecksville and Broadview Heights.

If the rust is only on the seal retainer or a bracket, yes. If the bottom section itself is rusted through, we’ll check whether a replacement section is available or whether a new door is the better value.
Doors are usually ordered to fit your opening, so installation is scheduled once it arrives. Repairs such as springs and cables are usually done on the first visit.
Yes. We repair commercial doors and operators and can set up regular service.
