Real Estate Agents & Firms

When area real estate companies want to update a property’s curb appeal, many of them turn to Overhead Door Company of Albany. A garage door can take up as much as a third of the front of a house, so it is one of the first things buyers see in listing photos and from the curb.

We are locally owned and based in Clifton Park, and we have been repairing and installing garage doors across the Capital Region for more than 20 years. Through our real estate program, agents call us for pre-closing inspections and quick repairs, and for replacement garage doors when a listing needs one.

A few quick checks can catch garage door issues before a buyer’s inspector does. Open and close the garage door and watch for jerking or grinding. Look for a gap in the coil of the spring above the garage door, and for frayed cables at the bottom corners.

Check that photo-eye sensors are mounted near the floor on each side, and test the reversing feature by closing the garage door on a 2×4 laid flat in its path. Make sure the remotes and keypad that come with the house work.

A new garage door can change how a house looks from the street. Replacing an older garage door can also add security and value, and we can help match the new garage door to the home’s exterior.

In Zonda’s 2025 Cost vs. Value report, garage door replacement ranked first of 28 home improvement projects, recouping an estimated 268% of its cost at resale.

We also provide design services for agents and their homeowners. The Door View Design Center lets you see different garage doors on a photo of the house, and our showroom at 15 Corporate Drive in Clifton Park has samples and literature to review in person.

We offer home buyers a free garage door inspection before closing, with no strings attached. The buyer gets a professional garage door health report that recommends any repairs or parts the garage door and garage door opener need. If repairs would cost more than a new garage door, the report says so.

Agents can arrange these pre-closing inspections for their clients. The property must be within our nine-county service area.

A garage door that won’t open, or a garage door opener that is too old to have photo-eye safety sensors, can turn up on a home inspection report. We repair garage doors and garage door openers of any brand, and we will work to fit repairs around your closing date.

With flexible scheduling, we can work around showings and access to the property. When you call, the office will talk through what the garage door is doing and explain the likely fix and the cost before a technician is sent.

Agents and property managers can call (518) 348-0444 or contact us to tell us about the property. Our service is backed by our One-Year Service Guarantee.
