Should you replace your entire garage door?
It’s inevitable: your garage door is going to get banged up through the years. Whether you slightly (or not so slightly) misjudge how close you pulled the car up to the door or the neighbor boy decides it’s time to do some target practice with it, you will eventually have to replace your beloved door. However, before you shell out the money for an entire brand new garage door, take some time to evaluate the damage. Is the whole door in shambles or is it simply one panel of the door? If you only need to replace a section of the door, here are a few things you’ll need to determine when selecting replacement sections:
- Door model (if the door was manufactured within the last ten years, you will find a 15-16 digit model number on the inner bottom section)
- Which section needs to be replaced?
- What are the dimensions of the section?
- What color do you need it in?
Once all of those questions have been answered, you’re ready to contact your local garage door company and have the replacement section(s) installed. Keep in mind that although replacing singular panels of your garage door may be cheaper, you might have to purchase an entirely new door.
When might you have to purchase a new garage door?
- The door is irreparably damaged in its entirety
- Your garage door is outdated and no longer has readily available replacement sections on the market
- You are not content with a new panel being a slightly varied shade (since the other panels have become weathered)
If necessary, replacing the whole door is not a bad thing. It is more expensive initially than replacing a single section, but it yields one of the most significant ROIs (return on interest) of your entire house! Shelling out the extra cash may not be an enjoyable experience, but you will undoubtedly get your money back.
