Yoder Overhead Door was started in 1989 by Mr Leon Yoder. The business started in Laurel Delaware at the home of Mr. Yoder. Doors were stored in a shed adjacent to the house. In 1999, Mr Leon moved out of the area and sold Yoder Overhead Door Co to friends of his, the Bear brothers. The Bear brothers, moved the company out along Route 13 to 11125 National Blvd. The new facility needed some fixing up but provided the business with ample warehouse space and high visibility along Rt. 13. In 2015 the rent lease expired and the business moved to North Laurel Plaza Rd. The new facility was much smaller than the previous which made operations a little more hectic. Thankfully, the move was temporary and would only last until a new facility could be built. In 2017, construction of the current location was completed and the business moved once again. Although it is a work in progress, the new building offers, a larger warehouse, more office space and a better showroom.

Contractors are required to be licensed in Virginia. There are two features of a contractor license. The first one is the class of license which determines the cost of projects that may be performed and the second is the classification/specialty of license, which determines what works are permitted.
To look up if a contractor's license has an active status or check a contractor's disciplinary history, a homeowner should use License Lookup tool.
