Small in area but dense with homes, Parma Heights is wrapped by the larger city of Parma on the north, east and south, while Brook Park and Middleburg Heights make up most of its western edge. In 2020, 20,863 people lived here in 9,689 households, with 10,211 housing units in all.
That packs a lot of garages into a small city. We repair them all, and we answer 24/7: springs, cables, tracks, rollers and openers. When a door or opener is past saving, we install a new one.
A new steel door with glass panels across the top can brighten a 1950s or 1960s home. On an attached garage, pick an insulated door to keep the cold out. We install Wayne Dalton doors, along with Amarr and Clopay, measured to your opening. If the garage sits at the back of a narrow lot, a wall-mount opener beside the door frees up the ceiling for storage. Read more on door installation.
A new Genie, LiftMaster or Chamberlain opener brings safety sensors, a keypad and phone control. See installing a new opener.
This land was surveyed in 1806 as Township 6, Range 13, and early settlers nicknamed it Greenbriar after a bush that grew wild here. Benajah Fay, his wife Ruth and their ten children came from Lewis County, New York, in 1816, and the part that would become Parma Heights was first settled in 1817. For almost a century it was farmland inside Parma Township, which had 1,329 people in 1850 and 1,631 in 1910.
In 1911, residents voted 42 to 32 to break away from the township and form a village of its own. It stayed small. The 1920 census counted just 310 residents. By 1950 there were 3,901, and Parma Heights became a city in December 1956. Then it filled up fast: 18,100 people by 1960 and 27,192 by 1970.
Most of the city's homes date from that postwar rush, so many garages here are about the same age. The original doors are mostly gone, but you'll still find old tracks, tired springs on replacement doors, and openers that are decades old. We look at the whole system, not only the part that just broke.
The main roads here are old. In 1827 Broadview Road was known as Town Line Road, Ridge Road was Center Road because it ran through the middle of the township, and York Road was York Street, named for settlers from New York. Pearl Road went by the Medina Wooster Pike, the Cleveland Columbus Road and the Brighton and Parma Plank Road.
Today those roads get salted all winter, and that salt ends up in your garage. It collects along the door's lower edge, right by the cable brackets, and cold snaps crack tired springs. A door that jerks, sags on one side or rises slowly is due for a check. Book a tune-up before the first freeze.
The Robert W. Henry House stands on Pearl Road. The township's first schoolhouse was a log building on the hill at the northern corner of what is now Parma Heights Cemetery, and a memorial plate on a stone marks the spot. Cuyahoga Community College has its Western Campus in the city. You'll hear Ukrainian, Polish and Romanian spoken in some homes here, along with English.
Parma Heights belongs to the Parma City School District, with Parma Park Elementary and Valley Forge High School inside city limits, and Holy Name High School is here too. Mail uses ZIP code 44130. Our technicians also cover Parma, Brook Park, Middleburg Heights, North Royalton and Strongsville.

No. Parma Heights is its own city, surrounded by Parma on three sides. We serve both.
The springs may not match the new door’s weight. We can rebalance it or fit the right springs so the opener doesn’t strain.
All of them, and every other street in Parma Heights.
Yes, if there’s power. We’ll run through headroom, door balance and outlet placement before installing.
