Headline takeaways
Ohio continues to be one of the more active markets we track for garage door. 89 providers logged at least one customer touchpoint this quarter, with the elite tier (Score ≥ 8.5) holding at **24 businesses**. The composite Score sits at **8.1/10** — slightly above the platform median, which suggests a mature competitive set.
Pricing trend
Typical garage door job costs in Ohio sit at **$120 - $3,200**. Quarter-over-quarter we estimate prices moved **+5.1%**, driven by fuel and travel-cost pressure. Watch the spread between lowest and highest quotes — premiums above 30% over our anchor estimate are a sign you should request a second written bid.
Demand signals
Total review volume across providers in this market changed by **-1%** versus last quarter, with growth concentrated in the peak summer demand window. Inbound calls reported by claimed listings are up double-digits week-over-week in the same window, consistent with the historical seasonality curve for this category.
Verification + trust
0% of providers in Ohio have claimed their ServiceAgent listing and completed phone verification. That figure shifted **-2.1%** this quarter. Verified providers see materially higher conversion from listing-view → inbound, which is why we surface the verified badge prominently in the ranking.
What we're watching next quarter
Two regulatory changes are worth monitoring: city-level licensing reciprocity and the warranty-disclosure rule update.
