Beside the Rocky River in southwest Cuyahoga County sits Olmsted Falls, a small city of 8,582 people at the 2020 census, living in 3,666 households. Its main business district is where Bagley Road meets Columbia Road, around the Grand Pacific Junction historic district.
Our technicians handle broken springs, snapped cables, crooked doors and openers that won't respond in every neighborhood here, and we answer 24/7. If an old door or opener isn't worth another repair, we'll replace it.
Near the old business district, a carriage-house style steel door fits in with older homes. On a newer house, a plain or long-panel insulated door is a sensible pick. Amarr is one option, and so are Clopay and Wayne Dalton; see Amarr doors or read about garage door installation. Openers from Genie, Chamberlain and LiftMaster come with keypads and phone apps; see new openers.
Shops and offices around Bagley and Columbia Roads use service doors and small overhead doors too. If one sticks or its operator quits, we can repair it. See commercial doors.
James Geer and his family moved into a small log house here in 1815, the first settlers in what later became Olmsted Falls. The village was carved out of Olmsted Township on April 7, 1856, and a year later it doubled in size by taking in Plum Creek, the hamlet to the north.
For most of a century the village barely grew: 383 people in 1870, 374 in 1920. Growth came after World War II, to 1,137 in 1950 and 2,144 in 1960. In 1970, voters in Olmsted Falls and neighboring Westview agreed to merge their two villages under the Olmsted Falls name, and the combined town had 5,868 people by 1980. Ohio recognized it as its 231st city in 1972.
So some streets may have older village houses with small garages, while others filled in after the merger. A little garage behind an older home needs a door made for its opening. A newer attached garage usually needs a two-car door with heavier springs.
The Rocky River runs below the falls here, and two rail lines cross town, one built in 1849 through the southeast corner and one from 1853 cutting east to west. At about 774 feet above sea level, Olmsted Falls gets typical Northeast Ohio winters.
Winter means slush and salt riding into the garage. The weak points on a door are its two lower corners, where each cable ties into a bracket, and the rubber seal that meets the floor. Check both each fall, or book a yearly tune-up and we'll check them for you.
Grand Pacific Junction has about 30 buildings and storefronts. Among the oldest are the jail house from 1860 and the granary from 1875, and the Grand Pacific Hotel building, put up in 1840, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 for its Greek Revival style. A 1922 Vulcan locomotive and a caboose sit in the district, near a gazebo overlooking the creek. Every year in early August the town holds Heritage Days, a four-day fair with a parade.
Olmsted Falls shares ZIP code 44138 with Olmsted Township and borders Olmsted Township, Berea and Columbia Township. Its school district also takes in the township and parts of Berea and Columbia Township, with five schools from an early childhood center up through the high school, including Falls-Lenox Primary.
