Garage door panel replacement in Grand Junction, CO: One bad section, not a whole door

Many sectional doors can take a single new section, if the maker still makes that model, size and color. Send a photo of the damage and of any label on the door edge, and get a written price for the section, and for a new door if it is worth comparing.

Section or door

When one panel is enough

One section is usually worth replacing when the rest of the door is sound and the model is still made. Several damaged sections, rust through or rot usually point to a new door.

  • Only one section is dented or cracked
  • The door still runs straight
  • You can find the maker and model on a label on the inside edge
  • The color and panel style are still offered

What to send for a section quote

Matching a section depends on details the pro cannot see from the street.

  1. 01

    Outside photo

    The whole door, then a close view of the damage.

  2. 02

    Inside photo

    The back of the damaged section, including hinges and struts.

  3. 03

    The label

    Any sticker on the door edge or inside face with the maker, model or date.

  4. 04

    Width and height

    Rough door size, such as 16 by 7 feet.

Wind damage? DASMA TDS-152 notes that a garage door should be closed and secured before a high wind event. If wind bent a section, stop using the door until it is checked.

Short answers

Panel questions, answered first

Short answers.

Will a new section match the old ones?

Only if the model and color are still made. Even then, a new section can look brighter than faded ones next to it. Ask the pro whether painting is recommended.

Is it cheaper to replace one section?

Usually, but not always. Several sections can cost close to a new door. Ask for both prices in writing and compare.

Can I keep using a dented door?

If it runs smoothly, often yes. Stop using it if a section is bent near the hinges, the door binds, or rollers are out of the track.
