The team at Automatic Garage Door Repair Service in Monroe County, NY, understands you want to get a problem with your garage door fixed right away, but it’s not always easy to tell whether you need a simple garage door repair or a complete replacement.

Monroe County’s garage door experts share signs to  reveal when you need a repair or replacement:

Garage Door Repair

Generally speaking, a garage door repair will help you resolve minor problems with your garage door. For example, if your garage door suddenly stops working, you most likely don’t need a replacement. In fact, the cause is probably a minor issue, which can be quickly identified and repaired by a technician. Quite often, these problems occur as the result of old springs, which either need to be replaced, or it could be a simple electrical problem with the garage door opener. Other types of minor damage, such as a scratched, rusted or dented panel can be repaired by simply replacing the affected panel, rather than the entire door.

Garage Door Replacement

If the damage to your garage door extends beyond one or two panels, it’s quite likely you’ll need a complete garage door replacement. Extensive damage from vehicle impact or severe weather can damage the door panels, as well as the track and spring mechanisms of your garage door. In many cases, the damage can create a potential safety hazard, and you shouldn’t delay having the experts at Automatic Garage Door Repair Service help you find a replacement.
