Job completed for Steve

Completion date: October 20, 2026

Location: Guilderland, NY

Solutions provided:

When Steve in Guilderland, NY called us because his garage door opener was turning on and making noise but nothing was happening, we knew exactly what to look for. After rushing out and doing our assessment, the culprit was clear; as you can see in the before photo, the gear and sprocket inside his chain drive opener had completely worn down and crumbled, leaving the opener spinning with nothing to grab onto. We replaced the gear and sprocket on the spot the same day, saving Steve the cost of a full opener replacement. If your garage door opener runs but the door doesn’t move in Guilderland, NY or the Capital Region, don’t assume you need a whole new opener; call us first and let us diagnose it!
