Overhead Door Co. of Yakima™ has been selling, servicing, and even re-building all makes and models of bi-folding hay storage/agriculture and barn doors, as well as Hydraulic type doors as large as 50’ x 35’ (including both Schweiss Doors and Hi-Fold Inc. Doors). We are the local Yakima, WA service provider that is called upon to perform these services by both the door manufacturer and the end-user.
We have established and mastered specific repair procedures to address most of the common commercial door malfunctions that regularly occur here in Central Washington, rather than at the manufacturer’s lab. They professionally design their doors to withstand tornadoes and hurricanes, and while in the Pacific Northwest we have neither, high wind patterns throughout the year can batter the doors on a daily basis.
