General Info

Our History: Back in Richmond from their war-time service and ready to strike out on their own, three Garber brothers pooled their money and started their own overhead door company, incorporated in 1953. At first the company operated out of Henry's house. At the end of each work day, Henry would drive the company truck home, park it on the back hill, and scrub down for family dinner. Soon the business relocated to a warehouse at 4400 Williamsburg Avenue in Fulton Bottom and acquired the Overhead Door Company franchise for the Richmond area A Pioneer in Shockoe Bottom: In 1975 the company relocated to its current location at 2201 E. Franklin Street, close to I-95 and I-64 in the historic Shockoe Bottom area. Julian Garber took note of the poor roof condition (the building had been vacant for 20 years) and made an offer. Once the offer was accepted he phoned his brother Henry, who was visiting his daughter's family in Hawaii, and broke the news about the roof. For many years Garbers of Richmond was one of the few businesses located in Shockoe Bottom, which was largely abandoned in the 1960s. Extensive loft conversions and new retail have transformed the Bottom into a thriving area that's no longer quite so lonely. Part of the Richmond Community: Garber of Richmond has made a strong commitment to supporting natural and recreational resources, especially for young people.
