Top Signs It's Time to Replace Your Old Garage Door
Doors rarely fail all at once. Watch for the slow signals.
Sagging and warping
Lay a straightedge across a section. Visible bow means the panel has lost structural integrity and will bind in the tracks.
Daylight and drafts
Light around the perimeter after new weatherstripping means the door itself no longer sits square in the opening.
Rust, rot, and peeling
Rust at the bottom rail spreads upward. Once it perforates the panel, refinishing is a temporary fix.
It looks dated
Curb appeal counts. If the door is the oldest-looking thing on the house, replacement changes the whole facade.
