When to Replace vs. Repair Your Garage Door
Your garage door is one of the largest moving parts in your home—and one of the most important for safety, security, and curb appeal. But how do you know when a simple repair will do the job, or when it’s time to consider a full replacement? Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:
When a Repair Is Enough:
If you're dealing with minor issues like worn-out rollers, a broken spring, a loose cable, or misaligned sensors, a repair is usually the best option. These are common problems that can be fixed quickly and affordably, often restoring your door to smooth operation the same day. Repairs make sense when the door is still in good shape overall and the opener is functioning properly.
When It's Time to Replace:
If your garage door is old, severely damaged, warped, loud, or lacking modern safety features, a replacement may save you money long-term. Consider replacing your door if you’ve had multiple repairs within a short time, if panels are cracked or rotting, or if the insulation is failing. A new garage door can also boost your home’s energy efficiency and increase curb appeal—often delivering one of the highest returns on investment of any home improvement.
