Should I repair or replace my old garage door?

The decision to [repair](/services#garage-door-repair) or [replace](/services#garage-door-installation) depends on several factors including the age of your door, the extent of damage, and your goals. Generally, if your door is more than 15-20 years old, has significant damage or rust, lacks proper insulation, or you're spending more on repairs than a new door would cost, it may be time to replace. However, if your door is in good structural condition and only needs component repairs like [springs](/services#spring-replacement) or [openers](/services#opener-repair), repair is usually the more economical choice.
