When to Repair vs. Replace Your Garage Door

Not sure whether to repair or replace your garage door? Here's how to make the right decision based on age, damage, and cost.

Minor issues like a broken spring, worn rollers, or a misaligned track are almost always worth repairing — especially on a door less than 10 years old. Repair costs typically run $150–$600 depending on the component.

Consider replacement when: the door is more than 15-20 years old, repair costs exceed 50% of a new door, the door has significant structural damage, or you want to upgrade insulation, security, or curb appeal.

A new garage door installation typically costs $1,500–$4,000 for residential doors, including the door, hardware, and professional installation. GVA Garage Doors provides free estimates to help you make the right decision.
