Sometimes the smart money is a new door, not another repair. If you're stacking up service calls, staring at a caved-in bottom section, or fighting hail dents and rust, garage door replacement ends the cycle and adds real curb appeal.
Repair or Replace? An Honest Test
| Situation | Our Recommendation |
|---|---|
| One or two damaged sections, sound frame | Repair — panel replacement |
| Broken spring on an otherwise good door | Repair — spring replacement |
| Door 20+ years old, single-layer, no insulation | Replace |
| Rust through, rotted wood, delaminating panels | Replace |
| Repairs exceeding about half a new door's cost | Replace |
| Bent bottom section from backing into it | Usually replace section; replace door if two or more sections |

- Old door, track and spring removal plus haul-away
- Correctly sized torsion springs matched to the new door weight
