Garage Door Panel Repair & Replacement
Should you replace one garage door panel or the entire door?
We can help determine if a repair or replacement is the best solution.
Should I repair or replace my garage door?
Garage doors are heavy and under high tension, so attempting repairs yourself is not recommended. For your safety and peace of mind, it’s always best to rely on a trained local expert.
Repairing or Replacing a Garage Door Section or Panel
Scratches and small dents can often be repaired. However, a panel may still show slight marks, and depending on the extent of damage, the door may not perform like new.
Pros
- Lower upfront cost compared to a full replacement
- Restores functionality if damage is minor (scratch, dent, light bend)
- Faster turnaround than replacing the entire door
- Keeps the rest of your door intact if it’s still in good condition
Cons
- A new panel may not match due to fading or wear on existing sections
- Not always possible if the damage is severe (major bend or broken)
- May only be a short-term solution if the door is older
- Repairs don’t improve insulation or energy efficiency, which is important in Canada’s climate
Replacing the Door
If your garage door is older or you want to maintain a consistent appearance, replacing the entire door is usually the smarter long-term investment.
Pros
- Ensures a uniform, cohesive look across all sections or panels
- Improves curb appeal and overall home value
- Opportunity to upgrade to a better-insulated, quieter, or modern door — ideal for Canada’s climate
- Comes with full warranty coverage on the new door
Cons
- Higher upfront cost compared to a panel repair
- Installation takes longer than a single panel replacement
- May also require adjusting or replacing garage door hardware
Cost to Replace Garage Door Panels or Sections
Replacing one or more panels is usually more affordable than a full door replacement. In Canada, a single section typically costs about 30–40% of the price of a new garage door.
