Steven in Schenectady called us because his garage door stopped working and he noticed the cable had fallen to the ground. After a quick inspection, we found the garage door cable had come off the drum after the door was accidentally closed on a broom. Our technician reattached the cable to the drum, tested the door, and had it opening and closing like normal in no time.

Rebecca called because her garage door opener was no longer working. After the full garage door system assessment, she was given options. She upgraded her door and opener due to their age and condition. Now she has a brand-new system that’s efficient with smart features and built to last!

July 30, 2026 | Rotterdam, NY

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!

Cheryl in Princetown, NY was ready to replace her garage doors, she did the right thing and got estimates from multiple companies before making her decision. In the end she chose Empire Overhead Doors; not because of a slick sales pitch, but because we were the only ones who actually listened to what she wanted.

If you're in Princetown, NY or the Capital Region shopping around for a garage door replacement estimate, we welcome the comparison — give us a call and see the difference for yourself.
