Middlefield, a village of 2,748 people at the 2020 census, is the center of the world's fourth-largest Amish settlement, though very few Amish families live inside the village limits. It is also Geauga County's industrial capital: more than 80% of its income tax comes from industrial and commercial business. Thanks to its schools and stores, the village is the hub for Huntsburg, Parkman and Middlefield townships.
Our work here runs from house garages in the village to overhead doors on shops and plants. Springs, cables, openers, bent tracks, whole new doors: tell us what broke for same-day service on most calls, often within 1 hour.
Plain raised-panel steel, carriage-house with windows or a clean modern look: we install Clopay, Amarr and Wayne Dalton doors, insulated for a garage attached to living space. Browse new garage doors. Our openers come from LiftMaster and Genie; see opener installation.
Middlefield's first manufacturer, a pail company, opened in 1895, and industry has anchored the village ever since. Plants and shops here run on sectional overhead doors that open dozens of times a day. Our crews take on commercial door repair and fix commercial door operators so a loading door is not left open to the weather.
The village was once named Batavia. It became Middlefield because it sat at the midway point between Painesville and Warren. James Thompson and his father, Isaac, established it in 1799, and it incorporated in 1901. Joseph Johnson settled just north, at what is now Johnson Corners, in 1800, and in 1818 James Thompson built a hotel, later named The Century Inn, that is now the home of the Middlefield Historical Association.
Growth has been gradual: 640 residents in 1910, 1,141 in 1950, 2,233 in 2000 and 2,690 in 2010. That year the village had 1,290 housing units and 1,186 households, and the median age was 43.8. The mix of older houses near the center and newer streets farther out means we see single-car doors on old springs and wide two-car doors on openers in the same afternoon.
In a Geauga County winter, snow piles up quickly against a garage door, and the salt spread on the roads ends up on the garage floor. Salt water pools under the door, rusts the bottom brackets and hardens the rubber seal until it cracks.
A door that suddenly feels heavy, or one that stops and reverses in the cold, is telling you something. Leave it closed and call. A seasonal tune-up each fall rebalances the springs and renews a cracked seal.
In summer the Historical Association runs The Depot, a small railroad museum about the 1873 narrow gauge line between Painesville and Warren. The Middlefield Library, a branch of the Geauga County Public Library, opened in 1942.
In 1965 the Ukrainian scouting organization Plast set up its midwestern campground, Pysanyj Kamin, on more than 150 acres at the east end of Shedd Road in Middlefield Township. Three-week summer camps there draw hundreds of Ukrainian American campers from Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. Southeast of the village's central business district is the Geauga County Airport.
