What Causes a Garage Door Panel to Bend?
Garage door panels can become bent or misshapen for several reasons, including:
• Accidental impact from a vehicle (one of the most common causes)
• High winds, flying debris, or storm damage
• Worn-out springs or opener malfunctions that strain the panel unevenly
• Improper installation or weak construction materials
• Regular wear-and-tear in high-use homes or commercial properties
Bent panels not only affect your curb appeal, but can also interfere with the door’s ability to open and close properly, place stress on the motor, misalign the tracks, or throw off the entire door balance making it a safety hazard.
Signs You Need Bent Panel Repair
Not sure if your panel needs repair or replacement? Look out for these warning signs:
• Visible dents, creases, or warped sections on the panel
• Door getting stuck halfway or refusing to open/close
• Door appears crooked or wobbles while moving
• Panels rubbing together or catching on the track
• Loud noises during operation or panel buckling under pressure
If any of these issues sound familiar, it’s time to call in the pros before more serious damage occurs.
Committed to Excellence
Our Bent Panel Repair Services Include:
Panel Realignment & Reshaping
For minor bends and dents, we carefully realign and straighten the panel using industry-approved techniques, restoring its shape without needing full replacement.
Panel Reinforcement & Bracing
If the panel is structurally compromised, we reinforce it with internal braces or struts to add strength and restore its integrity.
Panel Replacement (If Needed)
When damage is too severe to safely repair, we source and install a matching panel (or a full set if required), ensuring seamless design and smooth functionality.
Track & Balance Check
We inspect the entire garage door system to ensure the bend didn’t cause alignment or balance issues elsewhere protecting your door from future wear.
Repair or Replace? We’ll Help You Decide.
We believe in honest service and cost-effective solutions. That’s why we always inspect the extent of the damage before recommending a full panel replacement. In many cases, small to medium bends can be repaired affordably without replacing the entire panel or door.
