Southeast of Cleveland, next door to Bedford and Garfield Heights, Maple Heights was home to 23,701 people at the 2020 census, in 9,841 households, with 10,781 housing units in all. The whole city shares ZIP code 44137.
A busy household runs its garage door many times a day, and something eventually wears out. When it does, we're available 24/7 for springs, cables, off-track doors, sticky rollers and openers that won't respond, and for new doors and openers when the old ones have had enough.
A new steel door is one of the quickest ways to freshen a 1950s house. Choose a raised-panel or ribbed design, add a row of windows if you like, and pick a color that suits the siding. insulated doors from Amarr or Clopay keep an attached garage warmer and quieter. Door installation.
Swapping an old chain opener for a Chamberlain belt drive cuts the noise, and a keypad saves hunting for keys. Opener upgrades.
Maple Heights still has industrial space. In 2020 a 325,000-square-foot former factory on Lee Road South was chosen for a new manufacturing plant expected to bring 100 jobs. Plants and shops like that need sectional dock doors that open all day. We repair them and their operators; see commercial service.
Benjamin Franklin Fitch began making chairs in 1816 at his home near Warrensville Center and Libby Roads, in what is now Maple Heights. His Taylor Chair Company lasted until 2012, the longest-running manufacturer in the Western Reserve. The village left Bedford Township in 1915 and became a city in 1932. In 1935 the city started its own bus service, Maple Heights Transit, with routes to downtown Cleveland, across town and to the schools.
Then came the building boom. The population climbed from 6,728 in 1940 to 15,586 in 1950 and 31,667 in 1960, topping out at 34,093 in 1970. Street after street of houses went up in those twenty years, and their garages were fitted with the doors, springs and openers of the day.
Most of those have been replaced at least once, but the tracks, framing and wiring often haven't. We look at all of it when we come out, so a new part doesn't end up running on worn hardware. If a spring snaps, we also check the other one, since a matched pair wears out together.
Maple Heights is all land, about 896 feet above sea level. Where a lot is flat, rain and snowmelt don't drain away from garage doors quickly, so the bottom seal sits in water and the lowest section of the door takes a beating. Salt from the roads makes it worse.
Look at the bottom edge of your door. Rust, a torn seal or daylight showing underneath all mean water is getting in. We replace seals and retainers and can swap a damaged bottom section when the door model allows it. A yearly tune-up keeps the springs, cables and rollers in shape through the wet months.
Warrensville Center Road and Lee Road are the main north-south routes. RTA's Southgate Transit Center, opened in 2002, links bus lines to downtown Cleveland, Bedford, Shaker Heights and East Cleveland. Interstate 480 also crosses the area, and its segment from Maple Heights west to Brooklyn Heights opened in January 1978.
The Maple Heights City School District includes Abraham Lincoln School, John F. Kennedy School, Barack Obama School and Milkovich Middle School. Nearby we also serve Bedford, Garfield Heights, Bedford Heights and Warrensville Heights.

A new bottom seal stops most water from blowing or running in. If the slab slopes toward the garage, water can still pool there, and we’ll tell you honestly what a seal can and can’t do.
There’s no set schedule. Springs are rated for a number of open-and-close cycles, so a busy household wears them out sooner. We check their condition on every visit.
