Although there are garage doors that have only one panel, the truth is that most garages have more than that. Most modern LaGrange garage doors have 3 to 8 panels that roll as you open and close the door. Since there’s more than one panel, it means it’s easier to replace that panel, rather than replacing the whole Clermont garage door. The main reasons that they’ll need to be replaced is because of dents and scratches. These marks are bound to happen at some point in time, and it’s usually due to the usual wear and tear. Before you do this, though, there are some things you should know about replacing your Clermont garage door panel.
Availability of Your Panel
Before you start the process, you should make sure that your LaGrange garage door manufacturer still sells the panels that you need. This should be no problem if you have a modern Clermont garage door; if it’s an old door, however, you may have more problems.
Consider the Number of Panels You Need to Replace
Rather than replacing the entire LaGrange garage door, it makes a lot of financial sense to only replace 1, or maybe 2, panels. If you need to replace any more, though, it may cost more than replacing the entire garage door. If this is the case, you may want to consider just replacing your entire Clermont garage door.
The Amount of Damage
Even if only one panel is damaged, if the damage is too severe, it may impact the functionality of your door. You should have your LaGrange garage door inspected by a professional before replacing any panels.
The Color of the Other Panels
If your panels are faded, they may not blend well with your brand new panel. Of course, you can always paint your LaGrange garage door, but it brings us back to the issue of the price. You should consider what the price of a new panel and paint job is, and compare it to the price of a new Clermont garage door.
