Orrville, 8,452 people strong at the 2020 census, anchors the east end of Green Township in Wayne County and belongs to the Wooster micropolitan area. State Route 57 starts at U.S. Route 30, on the line between East Union and Sugar Creek townships, and runs north into Orrville.
Of its 3,750 housing units, 3,519 were occupied households in 2020, married couples headed 45.9% of them, and just 1.1% of owner homes sat empty; 98.9% of residents count as urban. Those are lived-in homes with hard-working garage doors. When one quits, a quick call puts a technician in your Orrville driveway the same day on most calls.
Past repair? We measure, order and hang a new Wayne Dalton, Clopay or Amarr door, insulated if the garage is attached, and haul the old one away (door installation). Our go-to openers are Chamberlain and LiftMaster units with battery backup; see opener installation.
Judge Smith Orr, its proprietor, laid out Orrville in 1852 and gave it his name, and a post office called Orrville has been open since that same year. The town grew steadily, reaching 8,380 people at the 2010 census, when 3,337 households lived in 3,690 housing units.
A city that has built houses for more than a century and a half has garages of every kind: small detached ones on older lots, attached two-car garages from the postwar decades and newer homes with wide insulated doors. We see springs worn out from daily use, cables frayed at the bottom corners and openers that have outlived their remotes, and we fix each one without selling you a door you don't need.
Around Orrville the land is open, so January wind has nothing to stop it. It packs snow against the bottom panel and chills an unheated garage until spring steel turns brittle and opener grease stiffens. A door that grumbled in November can simply refuse in January.
Heavy or stalled? Leave it shut and call. A door checkup in autumn rebalances the springs and oils the rollers first.
Wayne College, the only regional branch campus of the University of Akron, was founded in 1972 and sits on 160 acres on the northern edge of Orrville. Its original classroom building dates from 1972 and its Student Life Building opened in 2009, and the campus includes the Barnet-Hoover Farmhouse, the property's original homestead from around 1818, adapted for classrooms in 2005. Nearly 1,500 students take credit classes there each semester, most of them from Wayne County.
The Orrville City School District runs one elementary school, one middle school and Orrville High School, whose teams are the Red Riders. Their football rivalry with Wooster, first played in 1903, is the oldest in Wayne County, and the school has won state titles in football in 1998 and 2018 and in boys basketball in 1992, 1995 and 1996. Basketball coach Bob Knight, baseball pitcher Mike Birkbeck and painter Jenny Scobel are among Orrville's notable people, and John R. Massaro, the 8th Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, is an Orrville High alumnus.

Every part of Orrville is on our routes, the college side included.
If the sections are solid, new springs, rollers and cables can buy years of service. Cracked or rusted-through panels change the math, and we will lay out replacement choices.
