No matter how well a garage door is treated over time, they can wear out and need replaced after many years of use.

Warped or Uneven Closure
Is one end of the door noticeably elevated from the other after closing? Warped wood from moisture infiltration and bent metal panels or frames can cause this mysterious problem. This might be a good time to update the garage door to a new and more durable material.

Cracks, Dents and Broken Panels
