5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Garage Door

Garage doors are one of the most used parts of a home, yet often the most overlooked—until something goes wrong. Knowing the warning signs can help you avoid emergency repairs and keep your home safe and efficient.

Unusual Noises – Grinding, squeaking, or rattling could mean the springs or motor are worn out.
Slower or Jerky Movement – Delayed response or uneven lifting/lowering could signal mechanical or alignment issues.
Visible Damage – Cracks, dents, warping, or rust aren’t just cosmetic—they can compromise security and insulation.
Increased Energy Bills – An older or poorly insulated garage door can let air in, costing you more in heating/cooling.
Frequent Repairs – If you’re calling for repairs more than twice a year, it may be more cost-effective to replace.
