The Western Overhead Door Story

Western Overhead Door Co began operations here in Hawaii in 1970. Founded by a large lumber dealer from Portland who sold it to Ernie Carlbom in 1980. They have installed over 30,000 garage doors and thousands of commercial roll-up doors and grilles here in Hawaii.
 
In the late 80's they were designated a Banner distributor for the Overhead Door Corp. Being named a Banner distributor for this pioneer overhead door manufacturer is seen as a major milestone for this local family owned business.
 
Many advantages were made available as a 'Banner' distributor:
 
Overhead Door Corp., established in 1921, is a pioneer and leader in the industry. It provides a full line of quality residential and commercial overhead door products and automatic openers.
 
As a 'Banner' distributor we are able to get all the overhead door products from one manufacturer we are able to consolidate orders and ship via our own containers. This cuts down shipping cost and damage in shipping. This is a very important advantage for any company here in Hawaii.
 
Because Overhead Door Corp. is one of the largest and most experienced manufacturers in the industry, they are able to provide valuable product, technical and marketing support to their distributors. This helps keep us up to date on all the new technology and product advancements.
 
President, Eric Carlbom leads Western Overhead Door Co's divisions; Overhead Door Co - Honolulu serving the islands of Oahu, Kauai, Maui, Molokai and Lanai and Overhead Door Co - Big Island serving the island of Hawai'i. Western Overhead Door Co. is structured into different segments.
