Usually, garage door panels get broken or bent by accident. Perhaps, you were backing out of your garage and your vehicle hit the bottom portion of the door. If you neglect this problem, the issue may affect other components of the system. Of course, you’ll also compromise the safety and security of your home.
So, when you need a garage door panel replacement, don’t hesitate to call All Garage Door Service. We are the leaders in repairing, maintaining, and installing garage doors.
Has your garage door been damaged by a minor accident? Perhaps, you’re wondering if you need a replacement even though only one or two of the panels were affected. Well, most of the time replacing is the cost-effective and straightforward option for repairing your garage door.
You have the option to replace the entire door. However, in general, that’s not necessary for less severe damage. After all, the average lifespan of a garage door is a decade. Now if you’re still wondering whether you should repair or replace a garage door panel, here are some factors to consider:
You should ask yourself how long you’ve been using the entire garage door system. If it is more than two decades old, then it’s probably past its prime condition. In this case, your best option is to replace the entire garage door. Otherwise, you’ll end up spending more on regular repairs.
Now, if your garage door is less than ten years old, then repairing the affected panel would be a viable solution. Even so, it may be challenging to find a single panel that will match the entire door’s design. If this is the case, you can paint the new panel or the entire door. Talk to one of our expert technicians and we’ll tell you the best approach to this problem.
Another thing you need to consider is how much damage the door panel sustained. If it suffered minor damage from flying debris or a light impact, you may only need some paint and a bit of filler. Now, if there was a big storm or you backed your car onto the panel that caused severe damage, you’ll probably need replacement.
If this is the extent of the damage, you will need professionals to assess the underlying issues too. It’s easier to replace or repair the affected panels. However, the impact may have compromised the door’s opening and closing mechanisms. To know if there are more serious problems, seek the help of the expert technicians at All Garage Door Service.
Remember that your garage door is the heaviest moving piece of equipment in your home. If you don’t have the right tools, technical knowledge, and expertise, you’ll put yourself at risk. Every year, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warns people about fatal accidents caused by garage doors.
Of course, when your garage door panels are dented or damaged, you’d want to fix them right away. We also understand that you may be concerned about the cost. The truth is that DIY projects will end up becoming more expensive.
For instance, if you’re not an experienced handyman, you’d have to go to the hardware to procure the tools. What’s more, choosing the right panels for your garage door system is a complicated process. On the other hand, if you hire technicians for your garage door panel replacement, you can sit back and let them do everything. Their rates also include the tools necessary for fixing the panels. Besides, here at All Garage Door Service, we carry the best brands for components.
Perhaps, you bumped onto the garage door at a slow speed, leaving a minor dent on one of the panels. On the other hand, someone may have run their lawnmower or bike onto the door.
As a temporary solution, you may want to consider a singular panel replacement. This can restore the garage door’s appearance and functionality if only one section has been damaged. Our technicians can replace a single panel without working on the entire garage door system.
You may be wondering if you need to replace the entire garage door if multiple sections have been damaged. Well, in some cases, you can work on the affected panels only. Let’s say a minor accident has damaged two out of four panels. To save money, you can replace two panels instead of working on the whole garage door.
Now, the case is different if most of the panels were affected. Let’s say three out of four panels were damaged. The cost-effective solution is an entire garage door replacement. The three-panel replacement will likely cost as much as a new door.
Now, you may wonder when it’s time to replace the entire door instead of just the panels. Well, here are the most common signs to watch out for:
If you have a wooden garage door and you don’t regularly maintain or repair the panels, it will start to bend, sag, or buckle. Close the door and check if there are large gaps. Usually, that is a sign of sagging, and you already must replace the entire door.
However, in some cases, a poorly reinforced automatic garage opener can also be the reason why a door begins to sag. Let our technicians inspect the entire system to see if this is the issue. We’ll resolve the problem promptly and get your garage door operating smoothly again.
Wooden garage doors need to be repainted or refinished to maximize their lifespan. However, rotting wood can cause the paint on the door to crack or peel. When this happens, it’s likely that there is excess moisture or holes within the wood.
If the garage door is no longer functioning properly, consider replacing the entire system. If your garage door was installed over a decade ago, it may be difficult to find replacement panels that will match it. We’ll recommend energy-efficient options that will boost the functionality of your garage. As a result, you will save money in the long run.
Garage door repairs usually cost as low as $80 and as high as $1,500, depending on the gravity of the issue. If you have a complicated garage door system or one with high-end materials, the repairs may be more expensive.
According to Home Advisor, a garage door panel replacement costs between $150 to $1,000. Labor charges will cost around $200 to $500. Check out our guide to garage door repair costs to learn more about the fees.
As we’ve mentioned, it’s not cost-effective or safe to attempt to fix a damaged garage door panel on your own. Your door contains complex mechanisms, and you’ll need the right tools, knowledge, and expertise to identify and fix the issue. If you make mistakes, you may end up causing more damages that need more expensive repairs.

Called for appointment to replace rubber seals. Scheduler was very courteous and was able to get us scheduled for the next day. This was not an urgent issue but happy for quick visit. Tech Jason was very pleasant, fun to work with. Ended up with almost complete overhaul of garage door lift system. A lot more than I planned at this time of year but the system sounds so much better. Would definitely work with them again.
