Wooster, the seat of Wayne County, is the county's biggest city and the hub of the Wooster micropolitan area; the 2020 census put its population at 27,232. The College of Wooster is here, along with the main branch of the Wayne County Public Library, and the city follows Killbuck Creek, which flows on to the Walhonding River.
That census also found 11,065 households living in 11,868 housing units. Only 1.1% of owner homes stood vacant, and the typical resident was 37.7 years old. Faculty houses near campus, older homes downtown and newer subdivisions all have garage doors, and we look after every kind. Ring us 24/7 for same-day service on most calls, often within 1 hour on your Wooster street.
A carriage-house style suits an older house near downtown; a flush steel or insulated door fits a newer one. Our installers work with Wayne Dalton, Amarr and Clopay doors and take the old door with them. See the door installation page.
For openers, Chamberlain and LiftMaster belt drives are the quiet choice; compare opener types.
Several industrial companies are headquartered in Wooster, and the Wayne County Airport serves many local businesses. Shop doors, warehouse doors and farm-building doors all come our way; we handle repairs on commercial doors and the operators that drive them.
John Bever, William Henry and Joseph Larwill established Wooster in 1808 and named it after David Wooster, a general in the American Revolutionary War. The ground beneath the city is Cuyahoga Formation shale under Logan Formation sandstone and conglomerate, both from the Lower Carboniferous and rich in fossils, and the creek valley and ridges shaped where the streets went.
For its size, Wooster has always leaned on what locals call the industry of education. Besides the College of Wooster, the city has two Ohio State University campuses: the Agricultural Technical Institute and the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center, a teaching and research facility for agricultural science. It remains an agricultural center, too. The Wayne County Fair comes to town each September, local students join 4-H and FFA, and many Amish farmers still come to Wooster by horse and buggy to do business.
Wooster's houses span two centuries, and so do its garages. We work on narrow single doors behind older homes, attached two-car doors from the postwar decades and heavy insulated doors on newer houses, and we size springs to each door's actual weight.
Weather records kept at the Wooster Experiment Station put the average January high at 35.1 degrees and the average January low at 18.2, and the January record low is 24 below zero. That kind of cold stiffens lubricant, shrinks weatherstrip and snaps springs that are close to the end of their life.
If your door stops halfway on a frigid morning, leave it and call. A fall tune-up checks the balance, cables and opener before the first freeze.
Wooster Memorial Park, known locally as Spangler Park, has hiking trails through woods, ravines and open fields along Rathburn Run. Christmas Run Park has playgrounds and pavilions, Schellin Park has a skate park, Oak Hill Park has paved walking trails, and Freedlander Park has the pool, basketball courts and a pond. The Secrest Arboretum is on the Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center campus, and the College of Wooster opens its golf course, bowling alley and athletic facility to the public.
The College of Wooster is home to the Ohio Light Opera, which performs Gilbert and Sullivan and operettas from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Wooster Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1915, is the second oldest continually performing orchestra in the state, and the Wayne Center for the Arts shows local artists, teaches classes and stages performances.
Wooster City Schools operate one preschool, four elementary schools, one middle school and Wooster High School. U.S. Routes 30 and 250 and State Routes 3 and 83 run through the center of the city, and a city bus line makes 21 stops. Physicist Arthur Compton, a Nobel laureate, biologist Martha Chase, musician Dan Auerbach and Charles Follis, the first African-American to play professional football, all have Wooster ties.

Yes. Faculty houses, rentals and small buildings around campus are all on our routes, and we are happy to coordinate with a landlord.
Yes, if it is a sectional overhead door. Its springs, cables, rollers and opener work like any house door.
At times. When the maker still produces that section in your size and color we can change just that one; otherwise a full new door tends to be the smarter spend.
