Most garage door problems are repairs. Springs, cables, rollers and openers are all made to be replaced. But sometimes a new door is the better money. Here is how to decide.
When repair makes sense
- A broken spring or cable
- Worn rollers or a noisy door
- An opener problem
- One dented panel that is still made
When replacement makes sense
- Several dented or rusted panels
- The panel you need is no longer made
- The door is uninsulated and the garage is cold
- Repairs keep adding up year after year
Think about winter
In Ankeny, insulation matters. An insulated steel door keeps an attached garage warmer, protects anything stored there from freezing and is stiffer against wind. It is also quieter.
Think about hail
If hail dented the whole door, it may be a homeowners insurance claim. Take photos before any repair. See our panel replacement page for what can be fixed.
