Is your garage door sagging, noisy, or just not working like it used to? If you’re facing ongoing issues with your garage door, you might be wondering:
Should I repair it… or is it time for a full replacement?
At B7 Garage Door Repair, we help homeowners and businesses in making smart, budget-friendly decisions. Here’s how to decide whether you should repair or replace your garage door in 2025.
🔍 When Garage Door Repair Is the Better Option
In many cases, your garage door can be repaired quickly and affordably—without needing a full installation. Here are some situations where repair is the smarter choice:
✅ Minor Issues:
Broken springs, cables, or rollers
Off-track doors
Malfunctioning garage door opener
Loose or worn hardware
Sensor problems
✅ Budget Considerations:
Repairs are typically 50–80% cheaper than a new installation. If your door is structurally sound, a repair might be all you need.
✅ Your Door Is Less Than 10 Years Old:
Garage doors usually last 15–30 years. If your door is still relatively new and the issue is minor, repair makes more sense.
💡 Tip: Routine maintenance can prevent most major repairs—ask us about our annual inspection plans for Buman Way residents.
🚪 When Garage Door Installation Is the Right Choice
Sometimes, it’s more cost-effective—and safer—to go with a full replacement. Here’s when you should consider garage door installation instead of repair:
❌ Your Door Is Severely Damaged:
Cracked or rotted panels
Bent or twisted tracks
Frame or structural damage due to weather or impact
❌ Frequent Repairs:
If you’re calling for repairs every few months, those costs add up. A new, low-maintenance garage door can save you thousands over time.
❌ Safety or Energy Efficiency Concerns:
Modern garage doors offer better insulation, smart tech compatibility, and improved safety features. Replacing an outdated model can increase both security and energy efficiency.
❌ You’re Upgrading Your Property:
A new garage door can boost your home’s curb appeal and resale value—a smart move if you’re remodeling or selling.
