When to replace rather than repair
- Panels that are dented, cracked or rotted.
- Repairs that keep adding up on an older door.
- A garage you want to keep warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
- A door that no longer suits the look of your home.
Choosing a door
Doors come in steel, wood, aluminum and composite, with or without insulation and windows. The installer measures the opening and can show you options that suit your home and budget.
Common questions
Is an insulated garage door worth it?
If the garage is attached to your home or used as a workspace, insulation can help keep it more comfortable. Ask the installer about the insulation ratings of the doors they offer.
Can I keep my existing opener?
Sometimes. It depends on the opener's age, condition and whether it suits the new door's weight. The installer will check.
