1. What Causes Garage Door Panel Damage?
Garage doors take a lot of abuse. Here are the most common reasons panels get damaged:
-
Vehicle impact (backing into the door)
-
Storm or wind damage
-
Age-related warping or sagging
-
Stress from misaligned tracks or broken rollers
-
General wear and tear
2. Our Panel Repair Method: Reinforcement with a Door Strut
If your panel is structurally sound but bent or dented, we can repair it using a 22-gauge galvanized steel strut. This strut spans the full panel width and restores its rigidity and function.
What’s included in our $180 flat-rate repair (up to 16’ wide):
-
On-site inspection
-
Installation of a 22-gauge steel strut
-
Door balance check
-
Full hardware tune-up & lubrication
Note: The $180 flat rate applies to standard residential doors up to 16 feet wide only.
3. Can You Reinforce More Than One Panel?
We do not recommend reinforcing more than one panel without upgrading your garage door springs. Each strut adds weight, and too many reinforcements can:
-
Overload the opener
-
Throw off the door’s balance
-
Increase wear on your system
-
Lead to costly repairs down the line
4. Our Economical Solution for 2 Damaged Panels
If you have two damaged panels, here’s what we recommend for most homeowners:
-
Replace one panel
-
Reinforce the other panel with a strut
This keeps your system balanced and avoids the need for spring replacement.
Current Pricing:
-
Panel reinforcement with strut (1 panel, up to 16’ wide): $180
-
Standard intermediate panel replacement: Starting at $280 depending on panel
-
Standard bottom panel replacement: Starting at $300 depending on panel
-
If you’re replacing both panels, we will give you a $40 discount since we’re already on-site. It saves on delivery and setup time, so we like to pass that along to our customers.
-
Full door panel replacement (4 panels): Starting at $1,000 depending on panels
5. Standard vs. Special-Order Panels
We sell and service most standard garage door sizes, including:
-
8x7

If your door is a non-standard size or non-standard gauge, replacement panels must be special ordered, which may:
-
Increase the replacement cost

Incur a manufacturer lead time
We’ll confirm your panel size during your inspection and provide all options up front.

7. FAQs About Garage Door Panels
Q: Can I replace just one damaged garage door panel? A: Yes. if the rest of your door is in good shape and the damage is limited to one or two panels, replacement is usually possible and more affordable than a full door replacement.
Q: Will the new panel match the rest of my garage door? A: We’ll do our best to find a matching panel, but keep in mind some older doors may have discontinued styles or sun-faded colors.
Q: What kind of warranty do you offer on the panels or strut repair? A: We stand behind our work and have the reputation to back it up. We offer a 1 year limited warranty on new panels replacements and for defects on the craftmanship of the strut. Make sure to save your invoice since our warranty details will be included there.
Q: Are garage door panels in stock or special order? A: Standard panel sizes like 8x7, 8x8, 16x7, and 16x8 are often readily available. Anything outside of these sizes usually requires special ordering, which comes at a higher cost and may have a lead time.
Q: How much does it cost to reinforce a damaged panel? A: We offer flat-rate panel strut installation for $180 (covers struts up to 16’ long). This is a great option when a panel is bent but still structurally sound enough to reinforce.
Q: Is it better to repair or replace the panel? A: We assess each situation individually. Minor dents or bends may be repaired or reinforced with struts. However, cracked or severely bent panels may need replacement for proper door function.
Q: Can a damaged panel affect the rest of the garage door system? A: Yes. A bent panel can throw the door off balance or strain the opener, leading to further issues. That’s why every panel repair includes a full inspection of your door’s hardware and alignment.
