Is your Bakersfield, Calif., home’s garage door showing signs of wear? Has it experienced damage due to a vehicle or other collision? Wondering if you can replace just the garage door panels? Luckily, it is possible to replace the panels rather than the entire door, maintaining the appearance and function of your garage. Experts most often make bottom panel replacements, since those sections are closer to the ground and incur more damage, but they can replace any broken or damaged panel.
Whether you want to touch up your garage’s facade or you need to repair your door, a garage door bottom-panel replacement can offer a more affordable alternative for your home.
A panel replacement may be your best option when only one or two panels have become worn or damaged. If you have issues with many or most of the panels on your door, however, individual garage panel replacement may not be the best decision. The cost of replacing several panels may approach that of a new door, which typically makes a total door replacement a better choice in this situation.
You’ll also need to make sure the manufacturer still offers replacement garage door panels for your model — manufacturers may not produce panels for older garage doors anymore. What’s more, if your garage door is worn or faded, a single-panel garage door repair or replacement probably won’t provide the perfect color match, which will likely detract from the appearance of the rest of the door.
It’s also possible the damage to your garage door panel may affect the garage door’s function — and in a case like that, replacing the panel will not correct the problem. A total door replacement will maintain the structural integrity and ensure your door is easy and safe to operate.
Conversely, you may have minor cosmetic damage that you can fix with proper maintenance. Contact a professional for consultation on:
An expert can tell you whether you can repair the minor damage on your garage door panels, or if you should replace the entire panel. If the damage is cosmetic, some simple fixes will have your door looking new again. Extensive damage requires extra care, since it could affect how your garage door operates.
A damaged garage door panel replacement is usually just a temporary fix. You’ll likely need to replace the entire door at some point. However, you can use this technique to prolong the life of your door, especially for bottom panels that have more contact with the ground.
