Overhead Door Company of Albany has been helping Capital Region homeowners and businesses choose and install new garage doors for more than 20 years. We are locally owned and based in Clifton Park, where our showroom has samples and literature to help you decide. Our technicians are factory certified on Overhead Door™ products, the brand that invented the upward-lifting garage door.
A new garage door is something you will look at every day for years, and it has to work every day too. How well it runs depends on the installation as much as on the door, so we would like you to know what goes into one before you choose.
We had an excellent experience with Overhead Door Company of Albany! We were able to quickly schedule a consultation, and after we accepted the quote, our new garage doors arrived in less time than expected. The installation went very smoothly, and the garage doors look and sound great. Thank you!
The easiest place to start is our showroom at 15 Corporate Drive in Clifton Park, where our professional sales staff can walk you through samples and literature.
If you would rather start at home, request a free design consultation, or use the Door View Design Center to see different garage doors on a photo of your own house.
Installation is a good time to look at the rest of the system. If your garage door opener is more than 10 to 15 years old, or was made before 1993, replacing it at the same time saves a second visit. It is also a good time to add window sections, or to move to an insulated door if your garage is attached to the house.
If your current garage door only needs a repair, our technicians repair garage doors of any brand, and our repair page explains the most common problems and how we fix them.
When you have chosen a door, request a free estimate. Once your garage door arrives, our scheduling team will set an installation date and time that fits your schedule.
If you would like to bring rough dimensions to the showroom, the door measurement tool shows what to measure.
Evan and Dylan showed up on time, did a wonderful job and are a great model for young men that show quality work ethic. The young men that are a part of the workforce should be commended for their self motivation and commitment to a company.
These are the details that decide how a new door runs for years. You can ask us about any of them when you request your estimate.
The springs should be sized to the weight of the new door, which is often different from the old one, especially if you are moving to an insulated or wood door. The door should be balanced before the garage door opener is connected, so it stays put when lifted halfway by hand.
The garage door opener’s reversing feature should be tested once the door is in, with a 2×4 laid flat under the door and with something passed through the sensor beam. You should also know how to use the emergency release and which points to lubricate between visits.
It depends on the garage door you choose, so ask when you request your free estimate. Once your garage door arrives, our scheduling team will set an installation date and time that fits your schedule.

Not always. If your garage door opener works well and has photo-eye safety sensors, it can usually stay. If it is more than 10 to 15 years old or was made before 1993, installing a new garage door is a convenient time to replace it.
