What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Panel Replacement (Single/Multi-Section)?
A structural/visual repair that swaps one or more door sections while preserving the rest of the system. We match emboss pattern, insulation (polystyrene/polyurethane), thickness, and window placement, then transfer hardware (hinges/struts/locks) or install new, align tracks, and balance the door.
Single-section replacement: Localized impact/dent/rot.
Multi-section replacement: Larger events or multiple creases/windows.
Limits: Out-of-production styles may require closest-match or full door options—We’ll advise upfront.
Why Choose Urgent Garage Doors
One accountable team: Assess → source → install → align → tune under a single PM/tech.
Every configuration: Raised/recessed, carriage, flush/modern, wood overlay, and windowed sections.
Color & finish savvy: Factory color-match or paint-to-match options; coastal-friendly coatings.
Door-first approach: We map hinges, rollers, struts, and verify spring balance so new panels last.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Take straight-on photos (outside & inside) of the damaged sections and any windows/trim.
Note the brand/model (sticker on edge or end stile) and door size.
Tell us if your door is insulated steel, wood, composite, or full-view.
Call our dispatcher—we’ll confirm panel availability, lead time, and whether a temporary brace/board-up is needed.
Common Scenarios We Handle
Vehicle bump creasing the lower section or kicking out a stile
Wind/impact cracking mid-rails or window frames
Wood rot on older overlays or delaminated skins
Corroded steel skins near the coast
Cosmetic refresh where panels are mismatched or badly dented
Assessment & Sourcing
Identify manufacturer/model, section thickness/insulation, profile/emboss, and window layout; verify availability/lead time and color match.
Stabilize & Prep
Secure door, de-energize opener, protect floors/vehicles; if needed, temporary bracing to keep door secure and operable.
Removal of Damaged Sections
Detach hinges/rollers/struts; safely separate the damaged section(s) without twisting adjacent panels; inspect tracks and hardware.
Install New Section(s)
Set replacement panel(s), transfer or replace hinges/rollers/locks; install reinforcement struts where specified; maintain even reveals.
Rebalance & Alignment
Verify spring balance (panel weight changes matter); align vertical/horizontal tracks and back-hangs; ensure smooth, centered roller travel.
Tune, Seal & Clean
Set opener travel/force; seal seams where indicated; clean fingerprints/adhesive; review care and finish touch-up plan.
What’s Included
On-site assessment & documentation (photos/model/specs)
Matched replacement section(s) (profile/insulation/finish/windows)
Hardware transfer or new hinges/rollers/struts as indicated
Track alignment & fastener retorque
Spring balance & opener tune (limits/force) with UL 325 safety check
Cleanup + care guide (finish maintenance, touch-up tips)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Typical duration: 60–120 minutes for one section; 90–180+ minutes for multi-section/windowed installs (excludes manufacturer lead time).
Key cost drivers: Panel availability/finish, insulation level, window cutouts, number of sections, required struts/hardware, and coastal coatings.
Estimate clarity: Line items for section(s), hardware/struts (if needed), installation/tune, and paint-to-match (when applicable).
Insurance & Claims Help
After impact or storm, we provide before/after photos, measurements, model/specs, and a concise narrative to support your records/adjuster.
(Coverage varies by policy; not financial advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Compromised structure leading to sag, hinge tearing, or track damage
Water intrusion at bent seams or cracked window frames
Security gaps if lower sections are weakened
Finish corrosion/rot spreading beyond the original damage
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Spec accuracy: Match thickness, insulation, profile, and window layout; verify stile locations for proper hinge/roller fit.
Reinforcement: Add struts to wide or glazed sections to control flex and protect new panels.
Hardware integrity: Replace cracked hinges, worn rollers, and bent track brackets during reassembly.
Sealing & Finish: Proper weather-seal engagement; paint-to-match where needed; corrosion-aware fasteners for OC.
Balance & Safety: Recalculate IPPT if section weight changes; confirm neutral hand-lift; UL 325 sensor/reversal tests.
Documentation: Part numbers, finish codes, and window specs recorded for future service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you match my panel style and color exactly?
Often yes if still in production. If discontinued, we’ll propose the closest visual match or discuss full door options.
Will the new section look different from sun-aged panels?
New paint can appear fresher; we offer paint-to-match blending on request.
Is panel replacement as strong as new?
With proper hinges/struts and alignment, strength is restored to spec. We’ll recommend struts where needed.
What if my damaged section has windows?
We order windowed panels to match your layout (grilles/tempered/insulated options).
Do I need to replace multiple sections?
Only if damage, availability, or alignment requires it. We’ll show single vs. multi-section options with pros/cons.
Will you tune the opener after?
Yes—travel/force is reset and UL 325 safety verified on every panel job.
