*Warning: Do not attempt to move the door. Broken or tangled cables are under high tension and can cause the door to fall unexpectedly.
Accidents happen, but a damaged garage door doesn’t have to mean a major investment. Our skilled technicians specialize in replacing individual panels, seamlessly blending the new section with your existing door. We can source and install panels for a wide variety of door types, materials, and brands, saving you time and money.
From minor cosmetic damage to significant structural issues, we have the expertise to provide a precise, durable solution that makes your garage door look and perform like new again.
When to Replace a Panel vs. the Entire Door
Not sure if you need a single panel or a whole new door? Here’s a quick guide:
Consider Panel Replacement if:
- You have one or two damaged panels, but the rest of the door is in good shape.
- The damage is cosmetic (dents, dings, minor cracks).
- Your door model is still in production, and matching panels are available.
A Full Door Replacement may be better if:
- Multiple panels are damaged.
- The damage affects the structural integrity of the door.
- Your door is very old, and matching panels are no longer manufactured.
- You want to upgrade to a better-insulated or more modern door.
Our technicians will provide an honest assessment to help you make the best choice.
Our Panel Replacement & Matching Process
Identification & Assessment
We identify your door's manufacturer, model, size, and color to determine if an exact match is available. We'll measure the damaged section and inspect the surrounding panels and track.
Sourcing & Ordering
We work with our network of suppliers to source the correct replacement panel. We handle all the details of ordering the right style, material, and color.
Expert Installation
Once the panel arrives, our technician carefully removes the damaged section and installs the new one, ensuring a weather-tight seal and proper alignment.
Balance & Safety Check
Replacing a panel can change the door's weight. We always check and adjust the garage door springs and opener settings to ensure the system remains balanced and safe to operate.
Final Inspection
We perform a final walkthrough to ensure the new panel is perfectly integrated and your door is functioning smoothly.
We Can Match Most Panel Types, Materials & Brands
Our team has experience working with all common residential garage doors. We can source panels in various materials, including:
- Steel (the most common)
- Aluminum
- Wood
- Composite
We service and replace panels for all leading manufacturers. Our goal is to find the closest possible match for your door’s texture and color, from standard white and almond to custom wood-grain finishes.
Considerations for Insulated Panels & R-Value
If your existing door is insulated, it’s critical to replace a damaged section with an insulated garage door panel of the same thickness and R-value. Using a non-insulated panel would create a weak spot, reducing your garage’s energy efficiency and allowing heat or cold to pass through. We will ensure the replacement panel maintains your door’s thermal performance.
Honest Pricing & Free Estimates
The cost to replace a garage door panel depends on the door’s brand, size, material, and availability. When you call us, we’ll schedule a visit to assess the damage. Our technician will provide a clear, upfront quote for the replacement panel and labor, allowing you to make an informed, no-pressure decision. We offer free estimates for all panel replacement services.

Frequently Asked Questions About Panel Replacement
Can any garage door panel be replaced?
Most can, as long as the door model is not too old and the manufacturer still produces matching sections. If your door is 15-20+ years old, finding an exact match can be difficult. Our technicians can verify availability for you.
Is it cheaper to replace one panel or the whole door?
Replacing one or two panels is almost always more cost-effective than replacing the entire door. However, if multiple panels are damaged or if the door is old and inefficient, a full replacement might be a better long-term investment.
Can you match the color of my existing garage door?
In most cases, yes. We can order panels directly from the manufacturer to match the original color. For older doors where sun-fading has occurred, the new panel may appear slightly brighter, but it is typically the best available option.
How long does it take to replace a garage door panel?
Once the correct panel has been sourced and delivered (which can take a few days to a few weeks depending on the supplier), the actual on-site installation process is usually completed in just a few hours.
Can I replace a garage door panel myself?
We strongly advise against it. Garage doors are under extreme tension from the springs. Improperly removing a bottom or middle panel can disrupt this balance and cause the door to fail, leading to serious injury. It is a job best left to trained professionals.
What happens if you can't find an exact match for my panel?
If a direct match is discontinued, we will present you with the closest available options. In some cases, replacing an entire horizontal row of panels can create a deliberate, symmetrical design if a single panel isn’t available. We’ll help you find the most visually appealing solution.
