What We Do in Valley City

Valley City is in the middle of Liverpool Township in northern Medina County, where State Route 303 (Center Road) crosses State Route 252 (Columbia Road). It is not a city or a village. It is an unincorporated community, and the 2020 census counted 943 people inside its lines and 5,750 in the whole township.

This page covers Valley City and the rest of Liverpool Township. Our office is in Brunswick, just east along Route 303, so this is one of the closest areas we serve. We fix broken springs, snapped cables, doors that came off the track and openers that stopped working, and we install new doors and openers.

Common Repairs in Liverpool Township

  • A spring snapped with a loud bang. The door gets very heavy and the opener can't lift it. We bring the right torsion springs and set them to your door's weight.
  • A cable came off the drum and the door hangs crooked. Don't force it. See our cable repair page.
  • The door jumped the track after a bump from a car or a broken roller. We straighten or replace the track and set the door back in it. More on off-track doors.
  • The opener hums but nothing moves, or the door goes back up before it closes. Often it is a stripped gear or a safety sensor out of line. See opener repair.

New Doors for Farmhouses and Newer Homes

On a bigger lot the garage is often the first thing people see from the road. If your door is dented, drafty or just tired, we can show you insulated steel doors from Clopay, Amarr and Wayne Dalton, in styles that suit an older farmhouse or a newer home. We measure the opening first, because older garages are not always a standard size.

For openers we install LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Genie models with phone control and battery backup, so the door still works when the power goes out. Learn more about door installs and opener installs.

The First Settlement in Medina County

Liverpool Township is named after Liverpool, England, and township history says it was the first permanent settlement in Medina County. In 1810 Seba Bronson Jr., a Revolutionary War veteran, arrived in the "Hardscrabble" area, at what is now the corner of Columbia Road and Grafton Road. He planted corn, built a home and started a salt works. The township itself was set up in 1816.

That long history shows up in the garages. If your house is an older farmhouse, the garage was probably added years after the house, and it may be detached, with an opening that is not a standard size. If your house is newer, you likely have an attached two- or three-car garage, and the springs and openers the builder put in tend to wear out at about the same time. One service call is a good time to check both doors.

The writer Jenny Terrill Ruprecht was born in Liverpool Township in 1839. She wrote poems, sketches and books for young readers, and she died in Cleveland in 1916.

Next to the River, Through the Winter

The West Branch of the Rocky River forms the east edge of Valley City, and Plum Creek runs through its west side. The community sits at about 869 feet. Damp air near the water and the usual Northeast Ohio freeze and thaw are hard on steel parts: springs, cables and bottom brackets rust, and the rubber seal at the bottom of the door gets stiff and cracks.

The coldest mornings are when worn springs most often break. If your door has been loud or slow, a tune-up in the fall costs much less than a broken spring in January. We lubricate the moving parts, check the balance and look over the cables before winter.

Around Valley City

Valley City is known as "The Frog Jump Capital of Ohio." Since 1962 it has held a frog jumping contest based on Mark Twain's story "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County." In 1964 Governor Jim Rhodes named it the official state frog jumping championship. The contest is held at Mill Stream Park in early August, and in 2021 it drew more than 750 frogs and 4,000 people. There is also a street fair every year on the last weekend of August, and a restored train depot is now the Valley City Depot Museum.

Valley City mail uses ZIP code 44280. Schools are part of the Buckeye Local School District, which Liverpool Township shares with Litchfield and York Townships. The township borders Columbia Township in Lorain County to the north, Strongsville at its northeast corner, Brunswick Hills Township to the east, York Township to the south and Grafton Township in Lorain County to the west. Near Valley City we also serve Brunswick, Medina Township, Grafton and Litchfield.
