Garage Door Panel Replacement
Restore your home's curb appeal. We replace damaged, dented, or rotted panels.
One Dent Doesn’t Mean a Whole New Door
The Moment: You’re backing out of the garage. You hear a sickening crunch. The door panel now has a massive dent the size of a basketball.
The Panic: “Do I need a whole new door? That’s going to cost thousands…”
The Relief: Not necessarily. If your door is less than 15 years old and the manufacturer still makes your panel style, Ez2Fix can replace just the damaged section—saving you 60-70% compared to a full door replacement.
At Ez2Fix, we specialize in Garage Door Panel Replacement. We source exact-match panels from Clopay, Amarr, and Wayne Dalton, and install them so cleanly you’ll barely notice the repair.
When to Replace vs. Repair
Garage door panels generally cannot be “repaired” like a drywall patch. Once the steel is creased or torn, it loses its strength. The repair involves removing the damaged section and sliding in a brand new one.
Replace Panels IF:
- Damage is cosmetic: Only one or two sections are dented.
- Door is relatively new: Less than 10-15 years old.
- Parts are available: The manufacturer (Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton) still makes that specific model and design.
Consider a New Door IF:
- Damage is extensive: 3 or more panels are damaged. The cost of 3 panels usually equals the cost of a whole new door kit.
- Door is old/obsolete: If the door is 20+ years old, finding a matching panel is impossible.
- System damage: If the impact also bent the tracks, snapped the springs, and twisted the rollers, a total replacement is safer and more cost-effective.
The Importance of Matching
Panel replacement is an art of matching. We need to match:
- Brand & Model: Profiles (raised panel, grooved, flush) vary slightly between brands. A Clopay panel won’t fit a Wayne Dalton door section.
- Size: Height (18”, 21”, 24”) and width must be exact.
- Thickness & Insulation: Connecting an insulated panel to a non-insulated one creates balance issues.
- Color: We match factory colors. Note: If your door has faded, the new panel will be brighter. Painting may be required.
Common Damage Scenarios We Fix
The “Teen Driver” Dent
The most common call we get! Someone tapped the door while parking. We can usually replace the impacted section within a few days.
Sagging / “Smiling” Door
If your door looks like it’s sagging in the middle when open, the internal struts on the panels have failed or the panel has cracked. This is dangerous as the door can fold in on itself. We replace the panel and add a heavy-duty strut reinforce.
Rusted Bottom Section
In NJ, salt and snow eat the bottom panel. We replace it with a fresh steel panel and a high-quality aluminum retainer + rubber seal to prevent future rot.

Our Process
How we get the job done right
Identify Manufacturer
We locate the sticker on your door to identify the brand, model, and color code.
Assess Viability
We check if the panels are still in production and if a full door replacement is a better value.
Order & Install
We source the matching panel. We carefully remove the damaged section and stack in the new one.
Re-Springing
New panels may weigh differently. We adjust or replace springs to match the new door weight.
Common Questions About Garage Door Panel Replacement
Can you replace just one panel?
Can you replace just one panel?
Yes! If the door model is still being manufactured, we can order a single section. This is much cheaper than a whole new door.
Will the color match exactly?
Will the color match exactly?
New panels come in the factory original color. If your existing door has faded from the sun, there might be a slight difference. You may need to wax the old panels or paint the door to blend it.
How many panels until I need a new door?
How many panels until I need a new door?
Rule of thumb: If you need to replace 2 or more panels, the cost often approaches the price of a brand new door system. At that point, a new door is the better investment.
Can you fix a dent without replacing?
Can you fix a dent without replacing?
For minor dents, sometimes. But garage door panels aren't like car bodies; once the metal is creased, structural integrity is lost. Replacement is usually required.
How long does it take to get a replacement panel?
How long does it take to get a replacement panel?
Stock panels (common colors/styles) are often available within 2-5 days. Custom or older discontinued panels may take 2-4 weeks to specially order from the manufacturer.
Can I paint the new panel myself?
Can I paint the new panel myself?
Yes. New panels typically come pre-finished or primed. If you need to match a custom house color, you can paint the panel using high-quality exterior latex paint.
