When Should You Replace Your Garage Door Panels?
Knowing when to replace your garage door panels is crucial to maintain the safety, functionality, and appearance of your garage door. At Modern Day Garage, we specialize in garage door panel repair and replacement, ensuring your garage door remains in top condition.
Here are some factors to consider when deciding if it’s time to replace your garage door panels:
- Age of the Garage Door Panels: If your garage door panels are more than ten years old, replacing them may be the best option. Over time, wear and tear can weaken the panels, and newer models offer improved insulation, durability, and efficiency.
- Extent of the Damage: Minor scratches or small dents can often be repaired, but significant damage – such as deep cracks, large dents, or warped panels – may require replacing a single garage door panel or multiple panels to maintain the door’s structural integrity.
- Location of the Damage: Damage near hinges or bottom panels can weaken the entire garage door. If these areas are compromised, a professional inspection is necessary to determine if garage door replacement panels are required.
If your garage door panels show visible wear, hinder functionality, or pose safety risks, consulting an expert can help you decide whether a single garage door panel replacement or a full panel replacement is the best solution.
