Garage Door Panel Replacement

When to Replace Garage Door Panels

If your garage door is 10 years old or older, we advise that you consult a garage door expert to assess panel damage and determine if it can be repaired. Warped or damaged garage doors may struggle to move up or down. At Genie of Fairview, we prioritize your safety and convenience by offering prompt solutions to your garage door issues, including garage door panel replacement and repair.

Consider the following factors when deciding if it’s time to replace your garage door panels:

• Age of Your Garage Door Panels: If you’re unsure whether your panels need replacing, start by considering their age. Garage door technology has advanced over the years, so if your door is less than 10 years old, repairs might be feasible. Our technicians will assess the condition of your panels, check for wear and tear, and recommend the best option for you.
• Extent of the Damage: Minor damage, such as small dents or scratches, can often be repaired without the need for replacement. However, significant damage, like large dents, cracks, or warping, might be a cause for replacing one or more panels. A technician will evaluate the extent of the damage and inform you whether repairs or replacements are needed.
• Location of the Damage: Damage near hinges or other structural areas can compromise the integrity of the entire door. If damage affects the bottom panels, we recommend a professional inspection due to safety concerns. Widespread damage might require complete replacement.

When to Replace Your Whole Garage Door

In some cases, panel replacement might not be sufficient, and replacing the entire garage door becomes the only solution. If your garage door has extensive damage affecting multiple panels, severe warping, or structural issues that compromise the door’s integrity, a complete replacement could be necessary. Additionally, if your garage door is over 20 years old it may lack modern safety features and efficiency standards, making a new door a better investment. When repairs are no longer cost-effective due to frequent issues or outdated technology, installing a new garage door can enhance your home’s security, functionality, and curb appeal. Consult with our experts at Genie of Fairview to determine the best course of action for your garage door needs.
