Overhead Door Company of Norwich, Inc. has served eastern and central Connecticut since 1961, making it more than 60 years old and one of the longest-established garage door companies in the state. The company is the exclusive Overhead Door brand distributor for its service territory, giving it direct access to Overhead Door Corporation’s full manufacturing line — a national brand with a decades-long trademark history dating back to the same era the Norwich company was founded.
The business operates from multiple offices across its service region — Norwich (main office), Preston, Tolland County, Windham County, and Middlesex County — reflecting a genuinely regional operation rather than a single-location shop. This multi-office structure allows factory-trained technicians to respond efficiently across a wide swath of eastern and central Connecticut rather than dispatching from a single distant location. The company is led by CFO Shawn Amell, Operations Director Craig Amell, COO Gary Wolinski, and Vice President Mark LePage.
Products and services span both residential and commercial applications: garage doors and electric operators, rolling steel doors, hurricane shutters, motorized and manual awnings, loading dock equipment, and access systems for commercial and industrial properties. The company also sells Annin flags, including American-made U.S. flags — a somewhat unusual but longstanding product line addition for a garage door distributor, reflecting the kind of diversified small-business offerings that develop organically over six decades of community presence.
As an authorized Overhead Door Red Ribbon Distributor, the company’s technicians are specifically trained in the safe repair of garage doors — equipment the manufacturer itself notes is the largest moving object and among the most dangerous mechanisms in a typical home, making professional service rather than DIY repair a genuine safety consideration. Customer reviews describe the company as thorough, professional, customer-friendly, and accommodating, with a 4.6-star HomeAdvisor rating and 24-hour emergency service availability.
For homeowners and businesses across eastern and central Connecticut — spanning Norwich, Preston, Tolland County, Windham County, and Middlesex County — seeking a garage door provider with more than six decades of regional history and exclusive access to the Overhead Door brand’s full product line, Overhead Door Company of Norwich offers one of the most established options in this part of the state.
