The decision to repair or replace 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 or openers, repair is usually the more economical choice. We're happy to provide honest recommendations based on your specific situation.
