OUR STORY

Our story begins in 1921, when Overhead Door™ Corporation’s founder, C. G. Johnson, invented the upward-lifting garage door. In 1926, he followed this with the electric garage door opener. For over 100 years, the Overhead Door™ brand has stood for product quality, expertise, and professional service.
The Overhead Door Company of Eugene-Springfield™ was started in 1966 by Bob and Peggy Ashmore. Their original shop was located at the NW corner of West 11th Ave. and Conger St.
Bob and Peggy built the business to the point where, in 1974, they needed more room. A new building was erected at 4095 West 11th Ave. In 1986, the Ashmore family sold the business to Gordon McGraw. At that point, the company had six full-time employees and was just coming out of the serious recession of the early 1980s.
As building began to increase, more installers were hired. In 1990, Gordon purchased 1.4 acres with an existing building. The building was remodeled, and in January 1991, Overhead Door moved to 2080 West 7th Place. The 1990s continued with growth, and yet more installers were hired and trained. This growth included an increase in security-related products, such as automated gate and entry systems.
Needing even more room, an additional building was built on the 7th Place property in 1997. This building, at 2090 W 7th Place, is where Overhead Door™ is today. The next generation, Katie Schnider, Paul Burrell, Chris Schnider, and Sara Burrell, completed the purchase of the OHD Company in March 2013, continuing the values and customer service of previous owners.
In 2018, we expanded and founded our sister company, the Overhead Door Company of the Oregon Coast™, in Florence, OR.
