The Fawley Story
In 1981, a few local contractors and homeowners took a chance on a new business started by Tom Fawley – a garage door company. To make this new business a success, Tom worked six days a week to serve the community, many times coming home in the evening only to turn around again and go help get someone in, or out, of their garage. Through hard work and honest dealings, Tom’s business continued to grow and prosper over the next 40 years. To meet all his customer’s needs, he added installers, service technicians, and office staff, even bringing his own son on board to help grow the business.
As a family-owned and operated Portage, MI-based garage door company, Fawley Overhead Door continues Tom’s dedication to personal service and quality work. Our friendly and skilled technicians continue to work according to the core values of honesty, integrity, and commitment put in place by Tom in 1981. At the end of every day, our #1 goal is customer satisfaction – because if you’re not happy, we’re not.
