Should You Repair or Replace Your Garage Door?
Most garage door problems — springs, cables, rollers, openers — are repairs, not reasons to buy a new door. But sometimes replacement is the better choice. Here is how to decide.
Request a technicianUsually a repair
Broken springs, frayed cables, worn rollers, a door off track, and most opener problems can be fixed on an otherwise sound door. See our garage door services.
Signs replacement may make sense
Several damaged or cracked panels, rust that has eaten through steel, a warped or rotting wood door, or a door that keeps breaking down even after repairs.
Safety and security
Older doors and openers may lack modern safety sensors and auto-reverse, or use outdated remote codes. Upgrading improves safety for children and pets.
Comfort and energy
An uninsulated single-layer door lets heat and cold straight into an attached garage. Insulated steel doors help keep the garage and the rooms above it more comfortable through Texas summers.
Curb appeal and resale
A garage door takes up a large part of the front of many homes. A new door can change the look of a house more than almost any other single upgrade.
Get an honest opinion
A good technician will tell you plainly whether a repair is enough. If replacement makes sense, see garage door replacement.
