No village or city interrupts Rootstown Township. Its 2020 census count of 8,602 people is spread over a township in southwestern Portage County, where the Rootstown post office, opened in 1821, still serves much of the area under ZIP code 44272.
From farmhouses with detached garages to newer homes with two-car doors, we handle the whole range: springs, cables, rollers, tracks, openers and full replacements. Sundays are no different; expect same-day service on most calls, often within 1 hour.
Farmhouse or subdivision, we can match the door to the house: carriage-house, raised-panel or flush steel from Clopay, Amarr and Wayne Dalton, insulated for heated or attached garages. See new door choices. A hushed LiftMaster belt drive is available through opener installation.
The township is named for Ephraim Root of Coventry, Connecticut, a lawyer and investor in the Connecticut Land Company who owned it outright. Root first visited in 1800, and his brother David became the first settler in 1802. Rootstown was organized as a civil township in 1810, after being part of Franklin Township. In 1832 German immigrants arrived, many of them farmers, stonemasons and carpenters, and in 1850 a band of 16 whaling sea captains from Nantucket bought land here, built large homes and became farmers. Nelson Converse opened the first general store in 1853, right in the middle of town.
Electricity reached the area in 1921, and street lights came to Rootstown and New Milford in 1949. The Rootstown Town Hall, built in 1809, is still in use along State Route 44 just south of the town center. With homes spanning that long history, we see everything from hand-built barn doors to modern insulated steel.
Rural roads, long driveways and lots of winter salt are hard on garage doors. Salty slush drips off the car and freezes at the threshold, and by March the bottom seal may be torn and the lowest panel starting to rust.
A door that jerks, grinds or pauses halfway needs attention before it fails outright. Book a tune-up in the fall and we will lubricate, balance and adjust everything before the snow.
The Rootstown Local School District keeps its elementary school, middle school and Rootstown High School on one central campus on State Route 44, just north of the town center. Across the street is Northeast Ohio Medical University, a medical, pharmacy and dental school with about 1,000 students, and its campus also houses the Bio-Med Science Academy for grades 7 to 12.
State Routes 5 and 44 and Interstate 76 all cross the township, the interstate through wooded hills, and the Portage Area Regional Transportation Authority runs buses to Kent, Ravenna and other parts of the county. The Triangle Lake Bog State Nature Preserve is in the township, and its oldest congregation, Rootstown Congregational Church, was founded in 1810.
Excellent, quick, and professional service! I highly recommend.

Yes. We measure the opening, check the framing and fit a new sectional door. If the header needs work first, we tell you before ordering.
Yes. New Milford, the center and the outlying roads are all covered, with same-day service on most calls.
Most often a broken spring or cable. The opener can’t lift the door’s full weight on its own, so stop trying and call us.
