Replacing your garage doors is not a small feat. Depending on the age and condition you may have to completely replace the entire assembly, including the garage door opener and the track. In many cases, however, only the door itself needs to be replaced, but this will depend on your particular situation. Here are a couple of signs that you may need to order replacement or custom garage doors in Westchester, NY, or your area.
They are Damaged
Over time garage doors take a beating. Storms hammer them with debris, and everyone has that one relative that can’t drive at night and hits them with his or her car. If your garage door is causing problems or has seen better days, then you may want to consider replacing it. A dented or bent door can cause a lack of sealing and a loss of structural strength. On top of this, dented garage door just look bad.
Rusting Out
This usually comes with dents, but not always. Rust is the slow killer of steel components. You usually will not even realize that it is a problem until holes start to appear on your garage door. Rust can be especially bad in northern areas where they salt the roads to melt the ice. Salt is very bad for steel and causes rust to accelerate. This is why you always see so much rusted metal when you go to the bay; the seawater spray corrodes the metal very quickly.
You Are Remodeling
If you are spending money to remodel the outside of your home, then you will want to replace your garage doors with a new set, or at least paint them. What is the point of making the rest of your home look nice and new if the garage doors are still clearly from the last century?
While replacing garage doors is not always the cheapest job, it is a necessary one and should not take very long to complete, unlike other home projects.
