What Causes Garage Door Panel Damage?
Garage door panels can be damaged by everyday accidents, severe weather, or long-term wear. Even if the door still opens and closes, a dented or cracked panel can affect alignment, create extra strain on moving parts, and reduce the overall safety and appearance of your garage door.
- Vehicle impact
- Dents from sports equipment or debris
- Rust and corrosion
- Warping from temperature changes and moisture
- Aging panels that become brittle or weak over time
- Loose hinges or hardware
Repair vs Full Replacement
In some cases, replacing a single damaged panel is possible. However, if the damage affects multiple sections or compromises the structural integrity of the door, full replacement may be the safest and most cost-effective solution. Our technicians will provide honest recommendations based on your door’s condition.
When To Choose Panel Repair
- Damage is limited to a single panel
- Minor dents or cosmetic damage only
- Tracks, rollers, and hinges are undamaged
- Door opens and closes smoothly
- The panel style and colour are still available
When To Choose Panel Replacement
- Multiple panels are damaged
- Cracks or rust compromise entire door
- Door is out of alignment or binding
- Repair would be close in cost to replacement
- Matching replacement panels are unavailable

FAQ
Below are answers to common questions about garage door panel repair and replacement in London, ON.
Can a single garage door panel be replaced?
In many cases, yes. If the damage is limited to one section and the rest of the door is structurally sound, a single panel replacement may be possible. However, availability depends on the door’s brand, model, age, and whether matching panels are still manufactured.
How much does garage door panel replacement cost in London, ON?
The cost depends on the size of the door, material (steel, wood, insulated, etc.), and whether a matching replacement panel is available. If multiple sections are damaged, full door replacement may be more cost-effective. We provide upfront, transparent pricing before any work begins.
Will a damaged garage door panel affect how my door operates?
Yes. Even a dented or bent panel can affect alignment, create uneven tension, and place extra strain on hinges, rollers, springs, and the opener system. Over time, this can lead to additional repairs if not addressed.
Can I repair a dented garage door panel myself?
Minor cosmetic dents may sometimes be improved, but structural damage should be handled by a professional. Attempting DIY repairs can worsen alignment issues or compromise the door’s integrity. Professional repair ensures safe and efficient operation.
How long does garage door panel replacement take?
Most panel replacements can be completed within a few hours, depending on the door type and availability of the replacement section. Our technicians perform efficient on-site service to minimize disruption to your day.
When should I replace the entire garage door instead of just one panel?
Full door replacement may be recommended if:
Multiple panels are damaged
The door is older and replacement panels are unavailable
Structural integrity is compromised
Repair costs approach the price of a new door
Our technicians will provide honest recommendations based on your door’s condition and long-term performance.
Does panel replacement include a safety inspection?
Yes. Every service includes a full 25-point safety inspection and professional lubrication to ensure your entire garage door system operates safely, efficiently, and reliably.
