Can Garage Door Panels Be Repaired?

The short answer to this question is that, yes, Garage Door Panels Can Be Repaired, but only those that have been hinged together. So, when a panel or multiple panels are damaged, they can easily be replaced. Replacing a single panel of any garage door is often far less expensive than replacing the whole door. That’s why for any homeowner on a budget, a panel replacement is relatively affordable, and it makes your door look as good as new if the job is professionally done.

If you are considering replacing a damaged panel on your garage door, here are a couple of things you will want to know.

Can Garage Door Panels Be Repaired?

When is Replacing A Panel Appropriate?

Generally, Replacing a Panel is appropriate when the garage door has suffered from structural damage. At times this will happen when the car has been driven into the garage door, often at a low speed. At times panels can also be damaged by a couple of small moving objects like a basketball, tennis ball, riding lawn mowers etc.

The important thing to keep in mind is that while panel repairs are cheap, they aren’t the best for aesthetic appeal. Things like blemishes and scratches are still visible after the panel has been replaced.

Can Multiple Panels Be Replaced?

Yes, you can replace multiple panels if they have been damaged. But the more panels you replace, the more expensive it is going to be. At times replacing more than just one panel is far too expensive, and you might as well replace the garage door. If you hire us, our team will help you figure out if replacing multiple panels is a good idea or if you should replace the door.

Will The Color Match?

It is no mystery that garage door panels use color that tends to fade over time. That’s why replacing a single panel will end up making your door appear discoloured or out of place. Your garage door contractor will ensure that the new panel looks as good as it can be, all things considered. You might want to use the same contractor who installed the garage door or choose us, and our team will use their expertise to ensure that the panel matches the best it can.
