How many sections are damaged?
One dented section is almost always worth replacing. Three or more on a 25-year-old door and a full replacement usually costs less than the panel work plus labor.

Repair the panel or replace the door?
2
Is the door still made?
Panel profiles change every few years. If the model is discontinued, a color and profile match may not exist and a new door is the honest answer — we tell you that up front.
3
Is the damage structural?
A cosmetic dent in the skin is fine to live with. A bent end stile, torn hinge mount or crushed top section is a safety issue and needs replacing now.
4
Has the paint faded?
Denver's altitude and UV fade factory paint fast. A brand-new section on a 15-year-old door will visibly differ in tone unless the door is repainted.
5
Was it an insurance claim?
Hail and backed-into-it damage are commonly covered. We provide itemised documentation and photos you can submit with the claim.

Panel replacement FAQ
How much does garage door panel replacement cost in Denver?
A single replacement section installed runs $285–$675 depending on whether the door is single-layer steel, insulated, or a carriage-house style. Two sections generally land between $550 and $1,200.
Is it cheaper to replace one panel or the whole door?
One panel is cheaper up front. Once you need three or more sections on a door over 15 years old, the total usually approaches a new insulated door — which also brings a fresh warranty, better R-value and higher resale appeal.
Can you match my existing garage door panel?
Often, yes. We identify the manufacturer and profile from the interior stamp. Doors from the last 10 to 12 years are usually still in production; older discontinued profiles may only have a close match, not an exact one.
Does homeowners insurance cover garage door panels?
Hail damage and vehicle impact are commonly covered in Colorado, subject to your deductible. We supply photos and a line-item estimate formatted for the adjuster.
How long does panel replacement take?
One or two sections is a 2 to 3 hour job once the part is on hand. Special-order panels typically arrive within 5 to 15 business days depending on the manufacturer.
