When Should a Garage Door Be Replaced?


Physical damage to the door is the most common reason that a garage door will need replacement, whether its due to a young driver misjudging just how powerful the accelerator is, an overeager game of driveway basketball, or another unfortunate accident. Portions of the operating mechanisms and door can also fall prey to the ravages of time and the elements.


What Types of Garage Doors Are Available?


Garage doors can be differentiated based on the way they open and the style of the door itself. You'll likely recognize the standard roll-up garage door made from segmented sections, but you can also opt for doors that swing open or slide to the side. Depending on the opening method, you'll be able to choose from materials such as wood or metal in styles ranging from elegant portals fit for a hobbit hole to a classic barnyard door.


What Sorts of Accessories Can My Garage Door Have?


The gold standard for garage door accessories is a mechanical opening and closing system with a remote control. If you live in a cold environment, you may wish to install additional insulation on the inside of the door. If you're concerned about intentional damage and theft, then invest in frame reinforcement options and locking mechanisms.


Can I Replace a Garage Door on My Own?

While it's certainly possible for you to install one, it will likely take several hands on deck and hours of effort. The more sensible option is to hire a garage door specialist who has the experience and tools necessary to quickly install your new garage door in the right way.


How Much Will It Cost to Replace a Garage Door?
