Shalersville Township fills a block of northwestern Portage County between Streetsboro and Mantua, and its 2020 census count was 5,245 people. There is no village or city inside it, only countryside, crossroads and neighborhoods spread along the state routes.
Out here a garage might be attached to a newer house, stand apart from an older farmhouse or share space with a pole barn. We repair the overhead doors on all of them and put in new ones when the old door has had its day. A spring that snaps before dawn is still a same-day job on most calls.
Farm-style carriage doors, raised-panel steel and insulated models from Clopay, Amarr and Wayne Dalton are all options, sized to your opening. See door installation. A Chamberlain or LiftMaster opener with a keypad suits a detached garage; opener installation.
The township takes its name from its original proprietor, General Nathaniel Shaler. It was first known as Middletown, because Shaler came from Middletown, Connecticut, and it is the only Shalersville Township in Ohio. The first settlers, the family of Joel Baker of Tolland County, Connecticut, arrived in 1806, and township government was organized in 1812. A Shalersville post office operated from 1824 until 1904.
Growth came late. The township had 2,823 residents in 1960 and 4,967 by 1970, which means many of its houses are from the last sixty years. Their attached garages usually have torsion springs over the door, while older farm properties still lean on extension springs along the tracks. We service both designs and can tell at a glance which one you have.
With farmland on every side, winter wind has room to build. It drives snow under a worn bottom seal and piles drifts against the door, and when the door is closed on ice the opener strains to lift it.
A tight seal and a balanced door help a lot. Our tune-up visit checks both, lubricates the hardware and tests the opener's safety reverse.
State Routes 303 and 44 cross at the middle of the township, and the Ohio Turnpike cuts through, with an exit at Route 44 added in the 1990s. The Portage County Airport is in the southern part of the township.
Most Shalersville students attend Crestwood schools, with the high school and district offices over in Mantua. The Bio-Med Science Academy, a public STEM school, holds its grades 2 to 4 at a Shalersville campus. The township's neighbors are Mantua Township to the north, Freedom Township to the east, Ravenna Township to the south and Streetsboro to the west, with Aurora touching the northwest corner. Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Bernie Kosar is among its notable residents.
Excellent, quick, and professional service! I highly recommend.

Yes, when it is a sectional overhead door. Springs, cables, rollers and track on farm buildings get the same care as a house garage.
Torsion springs sit on a bar above the door; extension springs run alongside the horizontal tracks. Either way, leave the adjusting to us.
No. The whole township is covered. Day or night, a real human answers your call, never AI. Our technicians are nearby, so we’re often at your door within 30 to 60 minutes, and same day on most calls. We act right away, give you an arrival time on the phone, and call you when we’re on the way.
