North of Lyndhurst and South Euclid, with Euclid to the west, Highland Heights to the east and Willoughby Hills to the north, Richmond Heights had 10,801 residents at the 2020 census. They live in 4,824 households, and a quarter of residents are 65 or older.
For them and everyone else here, we fix garage doors and answer 24/7: broken springs, cables off their drums, rollers out of the track, openers that won't open. And we install new doors and openers when the old ones are finished.
A long, low ranch looks best with a door that follows its lines: horizontal panels, a flush design or a row of windows along the top. An insulated door is a smart choice if the garage is attached and heated at all. We install doors from Clopay and Wayne Dalton, measured for the opening. Door replacement.
A modern Genie or Chamberlain opener adds rolling security codes, a keypad and smartphone alerts. Opener install.
Richmond Heights was part of Euclid Township until 1917, when it was founded as the Village of Claribel. A year later, in 1918, it was renamed Richmond Heights, and it became a city in 1960.
Its biggest residential area is the Scottish Highlands, off Highland Road. Other well-known developments include the Richmond Bluffs near the Cuyahoga County Airport off Richmond Road, the Rushmore Subdivision off Highland Road, and Richwood, south of the Richmond-Highland intersection. Ranch-style homes are found all over the city, and there are many apartments, especially in the Loganberry section along Chardon Road (Route 6), between Brush Road and Chestnut Lane.
The city was almost empty before the war, with 891 people in 1950. It jumped to 5,068 by 1960, 9,220 by 1970 and 10,095 by 1980. That means many garages here date from the 1960s and 1970s, and a lot of them are on their second or third door. Garages from those decades were often built with a single wide door, which is heavy and puts a lot of load on the springs and the center hinges.
On a ranch house, the garage door is often the widest thing on the front of the house, and it takes the full force of winter. Snow drifts against the bottom seal, freezes, and makes the opener pull against a door that's stuck to the floor. Road salt then works into the lower hinges and bottom brackets.
Keep the area in front of the door clear, and don't keep pressing the button if the door won't move. Chip the ice loose gently or wait for us; a torn seal lets in even more water next time. Once a year, have us do a tune-up: we lubricate, balance, check the cables and adjust the opener so it stops and reverses the way it should.
Chardon Road, Highland Road and Richmond Road carry most of the traffic. The Cuyahoga County Airport sits by the Richmond Bluffs area. Richmond Road links the neighborhoods on the city's east side, and Highland Road runs past the Scottish Highlands and the Rushmore Subdivision. Richmond Heights has its own school district, and Richmond Heights High School, home of the Spartans, has about 335 students.

Yes. Wide doors are heavy and often need two springs sized for the full weight. We weigh and measure the door and replace both springs together.
Yes. We work with landlords and property managers on repairs and replacements.
The opener thinks something is in the way. Often the close-force or travel limit needs adjusting, or the bottom seal is catching ice. We adjust it so the door closes and still reverses safely.
Yes, from the Scottish Highlands to Richmond Bluffs.
