Wayne Overhead Door Sales and Home Improvements has been serving families and businesses in the Miami Valley since 1965. We provide professional garage door sales, installation, and repair, as well as entry doors, roofing, siding, gutters, and other home improvement services. Our mission has always been to treat every customer with honesty, respect, and care, while delivering high-quality workmanship you can trust.
What first inspired you to get into your line of work? And what motivates you to do the work you do still today?
Our story began in 1965, When my father-in-law, Darrell Yoder and his brother-in-law, Charles Kauffman started Wayne Doors. After several years Darrell became the sole owner of Wayne Overhead Door Sales of Dayton Inc. In 2000 my wife and I purchased Wayne Overhead Door Sales of Dayton and included Home Improvements. Over the years, as our community grew, so did our services. Generations of families have trusted us with their homes, businesses, and we’ve expanded to offer complete exterior improvements while staying true to our roots in garage doors.
How did you come to faith in Christ?
As a young child, I remember riding the church bus across town and being introduced to the Lord. Over the years, my little grandma, Irene would always invite me to church and give spiritual support. I recalled looking up to my Uncle Buddy (Carl Levine), being a shoulder to lean on and giving me guidance. I became older, failing, struggling, and needing to find my way, I would find myself derailing. Over time I came to realize that I could not survive without Christ in my life and being in His word.
How does your faith impact the way you do business?
I have always felt the Lord put me on earth to help others. Our faith shapes everything we do. We believe in being transparent, keeping our word, and serving our customers with integrity. We view our work not just as a job, but as a ministry opportunity, to show Christ’s love through excellent service, fair pricing, and genuine care for the people we serve.
What ministry/cause do you champion and why?
We support local churches, youth programs, and family outreach ministries because we believe strong families and strong faith build strong communities. We are especially passionate about supporting organizations that help children and families in need, reflecting the love and compassion Christ calls us to show.
