When Should you Repair vs. Replace Your Garage Door?
Your garage door is one of the hardest-working systems in your home. It opens and closes thousands of times a year, protecting your cars, storage, and family. But how do you know when a simple repair will do the job — and when it’s smarter (and safer) to replace it entirely?
Repair Makes Sense If:
• The problem is isolated (like a broken spring, worn cable, or dead opener battery).
• The door is relatively new (under 10 years old).
• Damage is cosmetic — scratches, dents, or fading paint.
• The cost of repair is less than half the price of replacement.
Replacement Is the Smarter Choice If:
• Your garage door is 15+ years old.
• It sags, warps, or has extensive structural damage.
• Repairs are becoming more frequent (band-aids that don’t last).
• You want to upgrade security, insulation, or curb appeal.
