Panel replacement

Damaged panel? Often you don't need a whole new door.

  • Matched to your door's model
  • Written price before work starts

Garage door sections bent and pushed in after a car impact

A backed-in car, a stray ball or years of sun can leave one section of your garage door dented, cracked or split. As long as the rest of the door is straight and matching sections are still made, replacing just the damaged panel saves you the cost of a full new door.

We identify your door's make and model, source matching sections and swap them in with new hinges where needed. If the damage has bent the tracks or matching panels aren't available anymore, we'll walk you through new door options instead.

Our panel repair services

A damaged section can throw off the whole door, so every panel job includes a check of the tracks, rollers and balance.

Single panel replacement

A damaged section swapped for a matching new one, with new hinges and the door rebalanced.

Multiple section replacement

Two or more sections replaced when the damage is spread across the door but the frame is sound.

Impact damage repair

Doors hit by a car, straightened tracks and replaced sections, rollers and hinges as needed.

Window & insert replacement

Cracked or cloudy windows and decorative inserts replaced to match.

Replace a panel or the whole door?

01

Replace the panel when…

One or two sections are damaged, the tracks are straight, and your door's model is still available so the new section matches.

02

Replace the door when…

Several sections are damaged, the tracks and frame are bent, the door is discontinued, or it's older and uninsulated anyway.

Signs a panel needs replacing

Some panel damage is cosmetic. This kind usually isn't:

  • A dent that bends the panel's edgeBent edges stop sections from folding smoothly over the track.
  • Cracks or splits in the sectionCracks spread and weaken the door over time.
  • The door binds where the damage isA panel that catches as it rolls up puts strain on the opener.
  • Gaps letting in light or waterWarped sections break the weather seal between panels.
  • Rot or rust through the panelWood rot and rust-through can't be patched reliably.

Safety first. If a car hit your door, the springs and cables may be under uneven tension. Don't try to open it until a technician has checked it.

FAQs

Garage Door Panel Replacement FAQs

Can you replace just one garage door panel?

Often, yes, as long as matching panels are still available for your door model. We'll check before quoting.

Will a new panel match the rest of my door?

When we can source the same model, it matches in style and profile. Color can vary slightly on older, sun-faded doors, which we'll point out before you decide.

What if my door model is discontinued?

Then a single section usually won't match, and replacing the door is the better option. We'll show you choices close to your current style.

Is it safe to use the door with a damaged panel?

Minor cosmetic dents are usually fine. If the panel is bent at the edges, cracked, or the door binds, stop using the opener and have it checked.

How long does panel replacement take?

Once matching sections are in, most panel replacements are finished in a single visit.
