What are Garage Door Panels?
The garage door panels form the exterior surface of the door, providing structure, insulation, and curb appeal. Each panel is connected by hinges and allows the door to open and close smoothly. If a vehicle hits your garage door or if weather or wear causes damage, it’s important to repair damaged panels quickly. If the damage is minor, we can often fix a single panel instead of replacing the entire garage door.
We specialize in repairing damaged garage door panels to restore the appearance and functionality of your door. Our experienced technicians can determine whether a panel repair or replacement is the best option for your situation. We carry a range of panel styles to match most garage doors, ensuring a seamless look for your home’s exterior.

Garage Door Panel Questions
Can I repair just one damaged panel, or do I need to replace the entire door?
In most cases, we can replace an individual panel instead of the entire garage door, which can save you money in the long run. However, this depends on the availability of matching panels. Our technicians at The Woodlands Garage Door Service will inspect the damage and provide the best solution for your specific door.
Is it possible to fix small dents in the panels, or do they need to be replaced?
What happens if I delay repairing a damaged panel?
If left unrepaired, a damaged panel can lead to more significant problems. The door could become misaligned, affecting the tracks and rollers. It could also compromise your home’s security by making the door easier to break into. We recommend addressing damaged panels as soon as possible.
How much will it cost to repair or replace a damaged panel?
The cost of repairing or replacing a damaged panel varies based on the extent of the damage and the type of panel needed. We provide detailed estimates to help you understand the options and choose the most cost-effective solution.
Will I need any special tools or skills to repair the panel myself?
Attempting to repair or replace a garage door panel requires specific tools and skills to ensure safety and proper function. We recommend relying on our professional technicians at The Woodlands Garage Door Service to handle the repair, as they have the necessary expertise and equipment.
Can I paint the new panel to match the rest of my garage door?
Yes, you can paint the new panel to match the existing door if it doesn’t perfectly match in color or texture. We recommend using a paint specifically designed for exterior use to ensure durability and proper adhesion. Our team can provide advice on the best products to use for the best results.
