When Jim in Guilderland, NY called Empire Overhead Doors, his garage door remote only worked when he was right next to the opener. We came out and did a full safety inspection of his garage door and opener. We found that his old opener no longer met current safety standards, so we walked Jim through his options for upgrading to a safer, more reliable unit. He chose the LiftMaster 2220 chain drive with built-in myQ, and we installed it on the spot the same day. Now Jim’s remote works from the driveway like it should, and he can open, close and check his garage door right from his phone.

When Cindy in Niskayuna, NY called us for routine garage door maintenance, her door was running louder than it should. During our assessment, we noted that her garage door had been installed almost 10 years ago. That’s right around the time torsion springs reach the end of their lifespan. Rather than wait for a spring to break, Cindy decided to be proactive and have hers replaced. The torsion spring is the most vital part of a garage door, and replacing it on her own schedule means she won’t be stuck with a door that won’t open. While we were there, we lubricated all of the major moving parts and calibrated the door so it opens and closes properly. Cindy now has a quieter, smoother door and peace of mind heading into winter. If your garage door is noisy or approaching the 10 year mark in Niskayuna, NY or the Capital Region, a maintenance visit can catch a worn spring before it fails. Call us today to schedule yours.
