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.
