Our Local History

Overhead Door Co of Clearwater was started in 1984 as a part of Yakle Lumber in Palm Harbor. In 1994, before selling the lumber yard, the Stolze Family spun-off the garage door company and relocated it to Clearwater.

Expansions

In 2000 we bought a well-known garage door company in Hudson, established a greater presence in West Pasco and Hernando and set up shop in Hudson as Overhead Door Co of Hudson.

In 2002 we bought the local phone numbers for a large garage door and gate company when they moved out of the area. This greatly boosted our share of the Gate Opener and Access Systems business in Pinellas and Pasco.
