Garage Door Panel Services in Columbus, OH

Whether the garage is used for car parking, for storage or for any other use as the owner may deem fit the garage doors need to be functioning properly for the garage to serve its intended purpose. The truth, however, is that just like with other things garage doors malfunction, get damaged or break down with continuous use. When this happens, repairing or replacing the garage door parts involved is the only way to get the garage door and, in turn the garage to work as it is supposed to. One of the parts of the garage door that is prone to malfunctions and damages is the door panel and given that the panels make up the body of the garage door care should be taken when addressing any problem concerning garage door panels. Below are some common issues with garage door panels and suggestions on what can be done in each case.

Common Issues with Garage Door Panel

Normal wear and tear tops the list of common issues with garage door panels. Most wear and tear problems are aesthetic as opposed to mechanical and rarely interfere with the functioning of the door. These problems include but are not limited to dents, rust, wraps and cracks.

 

In case of wear and tear, regular maintenance is all that is required to ensure that the garage door panels remain in good condition. Applying a fresh coat of paint is effective in preventing rusting and giving the panels a new lease of life just like applying some filler in a crack will ensure that no further cracking happens, at least for some time. The secret here is to know the best solution for each problem if you want to do the panel maintenance for yourself. The easier way however would be to get garage door panel repair services from someone who understands what each type of garage door panels requires to ensure that the garage owner gets the best out of the door panels and the entire door as a whole.

 

Accidental damages occur when an object rams into the door panel and either dents it or completely shatters it. Accidental damages on garage door panels also occur when earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural calamities occur. The extent of damage depends on the object in question and the impact on the panel and damages caused by a falling tree will be different from the damage caused when a vehicle accidentally rams into the door panel. The type of panel used also matters and the damage on a steel door panel will be completely different from the damage on a wooden panel. All in all accidental damages are in most cases serious and may go beyond the door panels to other parts of the door. Care should, therefore be taken to ensure that the safety of those who may come in contact with the door is not compromised.

 

Where just a single panel has been dented, repairing the dented panel is advisable. Apart from straightening the dent, a fresh coat of paint may need to be applied to take care of scratches that may come with denting. If the panel is however damaged beyond repair, the panel may have to be replaced.

While replacing the damaged panels sounds easy enough, the truth is that replacement panels are not as easy to find as door panels are designed to fit individual doors and one may need to get an exact door to get the replacement. Putting a new panel on a relatively old garage door may also not be the best course of action as the weight and the appearance of the new panel will be completely different from the other panels.

Getting the entire door replaced is often the best option especially where there is extensive damage in two or more garage door panels. The cost of replacing the entire door vis-a-vis the cost of replacing the damaged panels that only serve as a temporary solution is much lower in the long run. What’s even better, the costs required to cover other damages on the door are not incurred and one get to enjoy a new door that only requires minimal maintenance to stay in good shape.

You can easily tell that your garage door roller is literally off the track. Sometimes it might be as a result of something falling on to the track, or it just got bent accidentally. Either way, an obstructed track will cause the roller to come out of it. Some garage doors mitigate this problem by having an electric eye that ensures that the door track is clear but putting back into its position can solve a problem associated with obstructed track. Putting the roller back into its position may seem to be a simple task, but it isn’t, a professional door expert should do it.

So, we happen to have some not so well behaved children in our neighborhood. One day a young man decided to use our driveway as a turnaround, but instead of actually turning around, he used our garage as a stopper. We had to contact this fine company to come replace a nice sized door panel and they did an excellent job. Hopefully we never have to, but I will definitely give them a call again.

They showed up in the allotted time, fixed the job fast, charged me little. I will definitely use these guys again.
