    Signs You Need a New Garage Door: When Repair Is Not Enough

    Is It Time for a New Garage Door?

    Your garage door is one of the largest moving parts of your home and accounts for up to 40% of your curb appeal. Knowing when to replace it versus repair it can save you money and headaches.

    Signs It Is Time for Replacement

    1. Extensive Panel Damage

    Multiple dented, cracked, or rotting panels mean the structural integrity is compromised. Repairing multiple panels often costs more than replacement.

    2. Constant Repairs

    If you are calling for repairs multiple times a year, those costs add up. A new door comes with a warranty and years of trouble-free operation.

    3. Safety Concerns

    Older doors may lack modern safety features like auto-reverse sensors. This is especially important if you have children or pets.

    4. Poor Insulation

    Old doors often have little to no insulation. A new insulated door can reduce energy costs and make your garage more comfortable.

    5. Outdated Appearance

    Style trends change. An outdated door can significantly reduce your home's curb appeal and resale value.

    6. Difficulty Finding Parts

    For older doors, replacement parts may be discontinued or hard to find, making repairs expensive or impossible.
