When Fazeela in Rotterdam, NY called us about a garage door cable that had come off the pulley, our inspection revealed the bigger issue; the door springs had not been installed correctly to begin with, making a simple cable repair a short-term solution at best. We walked her through all her options honestly and let her decide. Fazeela came in thinking she'd replace just one door, but after seeing what was possible she decided to go with two new garage doors and a new LiftMaster opener; and we don't blame her. The result is two smooth, quiet operating doors with an updated look that completely transformed the front of her home. If you're in Rotterdam, NY or the Capital Region and dealing with a garage door cable off the pulley, an improperly installed door, or just ready for an upgrade, give us a call today!

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!

When Nancy in Rotterdam, NY called us, her old garage door was well past its prime and no longer safe to operate. As you can see in the before photo, the panels were worn and peeling, the bottom panel was breaking apart, and the windows were damaged. We replaced the entire system with a brand new white raised panel garage door, along with new track, springs, cables, and rollers, so every vital part is fresh and working together. We also removed her old door, so Nancy had nothing left to do but pull her car into the garage. If your garage door is worn out, damaged, or unsafe in Rotterdam, NY or the Capital Region, give us a call and we’ll walk you through your options.

Jessica in Rotterdam called Empire Overhead Doors because she needed a new bottom seal on her garage door. During our inspection, our technician found bigger problems: the door had no safety cables, the pulleys were worn out, and the extension springs were mismatched, which puts uneven tension on the door and causes extra wear on the whole system. Without safety cables, a broken extension spring can whip loose and cause serious injury or damage. We walked Jessica through her repair options, and she chose to have everything fixed. Because our trucks are fully stocked, we were able to complete the job the same day: we installed a matched pair of extension springs, replaced the bad pulleys, added new safety cables, and put on the new bottom seal, leaving her door safe, balanced and sealed against the weather. If you’re in Rotterdam, Schenectady, Guilderland, or anywhere in the Capital Region and need garage door spring repair or same-day service, call Empire Overhead Doors today.

 When Andy in Rotterdam, NY called Empire Overhead Doors because his garage door springs had broken, we were out first thing the next day. We started with a complete safety inspection of the entire door system to make sure we caught every worn part, not just the obvious one. After going over his options, Andy chose to replace the extension springs, safety cables and extension cables, and to upgrade to premium rollers. As you can see in the photos, the old spring had snapped, and the new spring is installed with a safety cable running through it. That cable keeps the spring contained if it ever breaks, protecting your family and your car. The premium rollers give Andy a smoother, quieter door, and the whole repair is backed by our extended warranty for long-term peace of mind. If your garage door springs broke in Rotterdam, Schenectady, Guilderland or anywhere in the Capital Region, call Empire Overhead Doors for fast, reliable service!
