Broken Garage Door Panels

If you’ve accidentally backed into your garage door or hit it with a power tool, you might have a broken garage door panel. In some cases, a damaged

 garage door only needs one part replaced instead of an entirely new installation. At Markham Garage Doors, we offer garage door panel replacement services to restore your door.

About Our Garage Door Panel Repair Services

Restore the look, function and safety of your garage door by choosing us to replace panels for residential or commercial doors. We’ve been replacing garage door panels, from metal to wood, glass and more, throughout the Markham, Ontario, area for years. We can colour-match the replacement panel to your existing door and install a panel with the same design for a seamless repair.

Reasons to Get a Garage Door Panel Replacement

We’d be happy to help you if you’re experiencing issues like these with your garage door panels:

• Warping: Wood and other materials are prone to warping over time after exposure to moisture or fluctuating temperatures. A warped panel can prevent your garage door from opening, or it can allow pests inside. 
• Dents, cracks or holes: Cars, lawn mowers, tools, sports equipment — these items and anytKW Variatoinhing else you store in your garage can dent your door’s panels after an accidental bump. Small dents affect the look of your door, while larger ones can impact how it opens and closes. We can replace all dented or damaged panels for a new-looking door that functions correctly. 
• Rust: With damp Canadian weather comes the risk of rust. If your garage door’s bottom panel is corroding, that creates a safety concern, which we can help resolve. We can install a new panel that’s resistant to rust and corrosion.
• Broken glass: Whether you have an all-glass door or one with windows on feature panels, we can replace components with damaged glass to enhance your property’s safety and appearance. 

Get your garage door looking and functioning like new while saving money since a panel repair costs less than a total replacement. When we visit your property for service, we’ll take a look at your garage door and evaluate whether a panel repair or an entire door replacement will be best.

Frequently Asked Questions About Broken Garage Door Panels

1. Should I repair or replace my garage door panel?

You should repair your garage door panel if it’s fairly new and you notice a minor issue, but replace it if it’s older and has sustained significant damage. A garage door panel replacement is often the best option if you notice the following types of damage:

• Rust
• Warping
• Holes, cracks or large dents
• Broken glass

2. What causes garage door panels to break or get damaged?

Garage door panels often break or sustain damage due to these causes:

• Physical impact: Objects such as vehicles, bicycles, baseballs and debris can shatter or dent garage door panels.
• Environmental factors: Weather conditions can also impact your garage door panel. Strong winds can warp it, and frigid cold temperatures can weaken its materials until stress cracks form. Moisture can rust your panel if it’s metal or rot it if its made of wood.
• Mechanical stress: Broken springs or misaligned tracks place uneven, excessive strain on garage door panels, causing them to crack or bend under pressure.
• Lack of maintenance: Garage doors require regular lubrication to operate smoothly. Neglecting lubrication can increase a door’s mechanical stress and lead to damage.
• Age: Panels gradually degrade, making older models more susceptible to structural failure.

• Regularly wash panels with mild soap and water
• Address minor dents, cracks or rust spots promptly to prevent further damage

• Clear obstructions, such as debris, snow and dirt, from your panels to prevent moisture damage
