Garage Door Repair & Installation in Ithaca, NY
Residential and commercial garage door service for Ithaca and all of Tompkins County, from the locally owned team at Overhead Door Company of Binghamton™.
Ithaca's Garage Door Company for Repairs, New Doors and Openers
A garage door in Ithaca works harder than most. It faces lake-effect snow off Cayuga, road salt from November to April, and a freeze-thaw cycle that is tough on springs, seals and rollers. Add a steep driveway on South Hill or West Hill and a
door that won’t open becomes more than an inconvenience.
Overhead Door Company of Binghamton™ provides garage door repair, installation and maintenance for homes and businesses across Tompkins County. We are an authorized Overhead Door™ distributor, locally owned for over 75 years, and we service all brands, makes and models.
Garage Door Repair in Ithaca
Most repair calls we take from Ithaca come down to a short list of problems. Our technicians diagnose the cause, explain what needs to be done and carry the common parts on the truck.
- Broken springs. A loud bang from the garage and a door that suddenly feels too heavy to lift usually means a broken torsion or extension spring. Cold snaps are when they tend to fail.
- Snapped or frayed cables. A door hanging crooked in the opening should not be operated until it is repaired.
- Off-track doors and bent sections. Common after a bumper tap on an icy driveway.
- Worn rollers, hinges and bearings. The source of most grinding, squealing and shaking.
- Safety sensor and opener faults. A door that reverses for no reason or won’t close from the remote.
- Failed bottom seals and weatherstripping. These let in snowmelt, drafts and mice.
New Garage Door Installation for Ithaca Homes
Ithaca’s housing is unusually varied, and the right door depends on the house. A carriage house style door suits the older homes of Fall Creek and Belle Sherman. Clean-lined steel or aluminum and glass fits newer builds in Lansing and Cayuga Heights. Whatever the style, insulation matters here. An insulated door keeps an attached garage warmer through an upstate winter and quiets the door’s operation.
We help you compare residential garage door styles, materials and insulation levels, measure the opening, remove the old door and install the new one.
Garage Door Opener Repair & Replacement
If your opener is noisy, slow, or works only when it feels like it, we can usually repair it. When replacement makes more sense, we install Overhead Door™ garage door openers with quiet belt drives, battery backup for power outages and smartphone control. That lets you check that the door is closed from campus, the office or out of town.
Commercial Overhead Doors & Loading Dock Equipment
A door that is stuck open or shut costs a business money every hour. We install and repair commercial garage doors, rolling steel doors, commercial openers and loading dock equipment for Tompkins County businesses and institutions. That includes auto shops and retailers along the Route 13 corridor, warehouses and labs near the airport in Lansing, and farm and equipment buildings in Dryden, Groton and Enfield.
Planned Maintenance for Homes and Businesses
An annual tune-up catches worn parts before they fail on a January morning. Our residential and commercial planned maintenance visits include lubrication, a spring balance check, hardware tightening and a safety reverse test.
Urgent Garage Door Repair in Tompkins County
A car trapped in the garage or a door that won’t close and lock can’t wait. Call us, and we will get a technician to you as quickly as we can. Until we arrive, don’t try to force the door or loosen spring hardware yourself. Garage door springs are under enough tension to cause serious injury.
