Garage door services in Albany and the Capital Region

Overhead Door Company of Albany has been repairing and installing garage doors and garage door openers for Capital Region homes and businesses for more than 20 years. We are locally owned and based in Clifton Park, and our service trucks are on the road every day across nine counties.

Our technicians are factory certified on Overhead Door™ products and repair garage doors and garage door openers of any brand. When you call, the office will talk through what your garage door is doing and explain the likely fix and the cost before a technician is sent. Our service is backed by our One-Year Service Guarantee.

The service people who came were professional, fast, and went above and beyond. Not only did they fix the issue we were having in the moment, they told me how to maintain the garage door so we would have fewer issues going forward.

It can be. Springs are under extreme tension, and once one fails the garage door becomes far too heavy to lift safely. Stop using the garage door and call us. Keep people and pets away from it in the meantime.

We strongly recommend against it unless you are trained on torsion springs. The stored tension can cause serious injury. Leave it to a trained technician.

Usually yes. Both springs have done the same amount of work, so the second one has had the same wear as the one that broke. Replacing both at once can save you a second service call.

Often, yes. Individual sections can usually be ordered and replaced on current garage door models. If the garage door is older or several panels are damaged, a new garage door may make more sense.

It depends on where you are and how busy the schedule is. Call and describe the problem, and the office will let you know when we can get there.

The garage door industry’s trade association recommends a yearly visit from a trained technician, along with a monthly test of the garage door opener’s reversing feature. Springs, cables and the bottom brackets they attach to are under high tension, so leave adjustments to a trained technician.

Use a garage door lubricant on the hinges and springs, and on the bearings of steel rollers. Check your garage door maker’s manual for the type. Skip all-purpose sprays, which tend to attract dust. Don’t grease the tracks. Just wipe them clean, because grease collects dirt.
