Should You Repair or Replace Your Garage Door?
Ensure your garage door springs are properly tensioned for smooth operation.
Most homeowners don’t think about garage door maintenance… until the door won’t open. But just like your car, your garage door needs routine care to stay safe, smooth, and reliable.

Repair if:
- The damage is minor (springs, rollers, cables)
- The door still runs smoothly overall
- One panel is cracked or dented but replaceable
- You want a fast, affordable solution
Repair if:
- The door has structural damage or multiple bad panels
- It’s over 15 years old and showing signs of wear
- It lacks insulation or curb appeal
- You’re upgrading to a smart or energy-efficient system
Bonus Tip:
If the repair cost is 50% or more of a new door — replacement is usually the smarter long-term choice.
