Should You Repair Or Replace Your Garage Door?

If your garage door isn't working right, the first thing you need to do is to get it fixed and restore your home security. However, sometimes, fixing your garage door isn’t the best option. In this case, you should get your door replaced. Don’t know whether you should get your garage door repaired or replaced. Here are some questions to ask yourself as you decide to repair or replace your garage door.

Is the Door Old and Inefficient?

Older garage doors typically have no insulation. This is fine for a detached garage that isn't under climate control. However, if the garage door is attached to your house, the old door might be costing you money due to its inefficiency. 

Replacing that door with a new one is a better option even if repairing is possible and cheaper because you’ll save money through lower bills in the future. 

Is the Damage Severe or Expensive to Fix?

A garage door that suffers severe damage, such as a hit by a car or truck, will get fixed but the door will remain cracked or dented. It can make your whole house look like it's in disrepair. In this case, it's better to get a new door.

Additionally, there are chances that severe damage isn't visible. If you find out that you need more than a new spring and cable, it’s better to install a new garage door. The cost of all of the repairs will add up to almost the same thing. 

  

Is the Damage Minor?

If the damage is minor and won't cost much to repair, it's usually best to go ahead and have it fixed. Garage door tracks and even spring replacement don't cost all that much on their own. However, if your door is having multiple problems it’s time to replace your door.
