PANEL REPLACEMENTPanel Replacement
As a locally owned company, we take pride in delivering exceptional service to our customers. Not only do we deliver quality service we provide the most knowledgeable and experienced technicians in the industry. As a full service garage door company we like to provide details in our repair strategies to help you make the best choices possible. There is a difference between repairing a garage door panel and replacing your entire garage door. Garage doors are exposed to the elements so all types of damage can occur. Sometimes homeowners find themselves with a perfectly good garage door, but with a few cosmetic dents and dings. At other times—mostly due to age—a garage door will need to be entirely replaced. We at Michiana Garage Company would like to help you identify those times and determine which service is the best for you. |
Replace or Repair?
This question isn’t as easy to answer as some would think. Often, your door will be perfectly fine mechanically, but will look terrible cosmetically. Maybe a hail storm blew through your area and the storm attacked your garage. That doesn’t necessarily mean the entire door needs to be replaced. Here are a few guidelines to help you determine if you want to replace or repair your garage door.
Replace the entire garage door if:
Multiple panels have extensive rust damage or are scratched
If your garage door is 15 years or older
If you have a wooden garage and it has become warped or crack
Repair your sections of your garage if:
If it suddenly stopped working
If you’re garage door has a “heavier” feeling than usual. This is a sign that your springs might need to be replaced
A panel is damaged
How to replace garage door panels?
Garage panels face all kinds of damage and deterioration throughout the year. From hail damage to sunburn to plain old-age, the panels will need to be replaced every once in a while. When you contact us, at Michiana Garage Door Company there are a few steps we can take you through to help you find and replace your garage door panels making the process smooth and easy and the results phenomenal.
1. Panel Ordering- The first step to replacing garage door panels will be to determine the manufacturer of your garage door.
2. Panel Removal- Manually remove panels by first removing the springs from your door. This an important step because the garage might spring open while you’re working on it, so be careful and make sure to remove the spring. Garage panels are joined together, thus if the panel you are trying to replace is at the top you’re going to have to remove the panels one-by-one until you reach the one you need to replace.
3. Replace panel- To place a new panel, you need to slide the rollers into the track and lower the panel down slowly until it’s touching the panel below it. Make sure the new panel is secured to the panel below it by using screws or a bolt.
Remember this process is arduous and often dangerous for the average homeowners. We recommend you contact a specialist such as us, to help you with this process of replacing garage door panels, repairing garage doors and installing a new garage door.
