An eastern Summit County suburb of Akron, Tallmadge is a city with a small district reaching into Portage County. It was founded in 1807, making it the county's second-oldest city after Hudson. The 2020 census counted 18,394 residents in 7,601 households; the median age was 45.8, and 23.4% of residents were 65 or older.
A garage door that suddenly won't open is a headache at any age, and a real problem when you can't lift a heavy door yourself. We replace broken springs and cables, square up crooked doors, repair or replace openers, and install new doors, with a technician available every hour of every day.
Near the historic center, a white carriage-house door with a window row echoes the New England look of the church on the Circle. In newer neighborhoods, a raised-panel steel door in a bold color is a quick way to refresh a house. We install Wayne Dalton and Clopay doors, plain or insulated, sized to the opening. Browse replacement doors.
A new Genie or LiftMaster opener with battery backup keeps you from being trapped when the power drops in a storm. See opener choices.
Before it had a name, this was Town 2, Range 10 of the Connecticut Western Reserve. In 1807 the Reverend David Bacon founded and organized the settlement, laying out a square road at the center where several other roads met, modeled on New England towns of the day. It was named for Benjamin Tallmadge, a Revolutionary War figure and local landowner. The town kept growing around that square, which became a traffic circle, and the rest of the city was laid out on a grid, with industry near the railroad.
Tallmadge counted 3,452 people in 1940, then 5,821 in 1950, 10,246 in 1960 and 15,274 by 1970, so a large share of its homes went up in the postwar decades. The city had 7,886 housing units at the 2020 count and a homeowner vacancy rate of only 0.9%. If your garage has been widened or given a heavier door since it was built, the original springs and track may no longer match the load, and that mismatch shows up as a door that drifts, sags or jumps its rollers.
At about 1,194 feet above sea level, Tallmadge catches plenty of winter wind across open driveways. Cold, dry air stiffens the lubricant on hinges and rollers, and a door that glides in July can shudder and stall in January.
The fix is usually simple: fresh lubricant on the moving parts, a spring tension check and an opener force adjustment. We do all of that during a winter-prep tune-up, and we replace the cracked bottom seal that lets snow drift under the door.
At the center of town stands the Historic Tallmadge Church, built in 1825 and featured on the cover of Life magazine on November 20, 1944. It stands in Tallmadge Circle Park with the Old Town Hall of 1859, which has a museum on its second floor; a new steeple went on the Old Town Hall in 2003. State Routes 91 and 261 meet at the Circle, and its eight roads leave in the cardinal and ordinal directions, named for the way they travel, such as Northwest Avenue. In 2010 a six-point intersection in the northeast part of the city became a roundabout modeled on the Circle.
The Tallmadge City School District teaches 2,700 students at Tallmadge Elementary, Tallmadge Middle School and Tallmadge High School, whose Blue Devils have won ten state championships in softball and baseball. Western Reserve University held its first classes here in 1826 before moving to Hudson. The city also has a branch of the Akron-Summit County Public Library.

Not usually. If the driveway is short, we park on the street or a side road and carry the parts in.
The track may not have been reset properly when the opening changed, or the door may be too heavy for the old springs. We check the track alignment, spring size and opener together.
Yes. The part of Tallmadge that crosses into Portage County is on our regular route, the same as the rest of the city.
