How much does panel replacement cost?

Panel replacement typically costs between $399-$1,999 depending on the panel size, material, style matching requirements, and door age. Prices vary based on whether we can source an exact match. We provide free estimates before any work begins.

The bottom of my door is rotting. Is that repairable?

It depends on the material and how far it has gone. A steel section with a failed bottom seal that has been wicking moisture can often be replaced on its own. Wood sections that have softened through the thickness are usually past repair, and we will say so rather than patch it.

Can you still match a panel on a door from the 1950s?

Sometimes, and the profile decides it rather than the age. Section designs from that era are largely out of production, so an exact match is often unavailable and a close one shows on a painted door. We look at whether repairing the existing section keeps the door serviceable before recommending a full replacement.

Can you match my existing door panels?

In many cases, yes. We work with multiple manufacturers and can often source matching panels. For older or discontinued doors, we may recommend full door replacement or provide close-match alternatives.

Should I repair or replace my garage door?

If the damage is limited to one or two panels and matching panels are available, repair is usually cost-effective. For older doors with multiple damaged panels, extensive rust, or discontinued styles, full replacement may provide better long-term value.

How long does panel replacement take?

Panel replacement typically takes 1-3 hours once the replacement panel is available. Some specialty panels may need to be ordered, which can take 1-2 weeks.

Will a new panel match my door exactly?

We strive for the closest match possible. New panels may have slight color variations compared to weathered existing panels. In some cases, painting or full door replacement may be recommended for best appearance.

Can dented panels affect door operation?

Yes, significant dents or warping can cause panels to bind in the tracks, create gaps in weather sealing, and put additional stress on the opener and hardware.

Important Safety Information

•Rust along the bottom section weakens the whole door where it takes the most load. Treat rust at the seams as structural, not cosmetic.
•Light steel or hardboard sections from this era bend and bind rather than dent. A bound door can pull its hinges loose.
•Do not attempt to bend or straighten panels yourself - this can cause further damage
•Gaps in panels can compromise home security and allow weather infiltration
•Professional assessment is recommended to determine repair vs replacement needs

Don't risk your safety. Call a professional today.

Proudly Serving El Monte, CA

Most of the housing here went up in the postwar rush: small two and three bedroom tract homes on flat lots, many with detached garages set well back off the driveway. Sitting down where the Rio Hondo meets the San Gabriel River, the ground holds moisture longer than it does up in the foothills, and bottom sections and track hardware on those older detached garages show it. Rotted bottom rails and rusted rollers are regular work on the Norwood Village and Five Points blocks.
