Damaged Panel? Replace It, Not the Whole Door

Individual panel replacement can save significantly compared to a full door. Color matching available for most manufacturers.

About Panel Replacement

A dented or cracked panel doesn't always mean you need a whole new door. In many cases, we can replace just the damaged section and color-match it to the rest of your door. This costs a fraction of a full replacement and looks just as good. We've matched panels on Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, CHI, and most other major brands.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you match my door's color and style?

For doors made in the last 15 years by major manufacturers (Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, CHI), we can almost always get a matching panel. Older or discontinued models are harder — sometimes we can find old stock, sometimes we can't. We'll be upfront about match quality before you commit.

When is it better to replace the whole door instead?

If more than 2-3 panels are damaged, or if your door is 20+ years old and panels aren't available, a full replacement usually makes more sense. Also, if the tracks or springs were damaged in the impact, the total repair cost might approach the cost of a new door. We'll always tell you which option is the better value.

Will insurance cover panel replacement?

If the damage was from a specific incident (vehicle impact, storm, vandalism), your homeowner's insurance may cover it. We can provide documentation and photos for your claim.

My bottom panel keeps getting dented. What can I do?

Bottom panels take the most abuse. After replacing it, consider a reinforcement strut on the back of the new panel for added strength. We can install one for a small additional cost. Also, parking aids (a tennis ball on a string or laser guide) help you stop before hitting the door.
