Most panel damage can be successfully repaired, but some situations require replacement. Repairable damage includes minor to moderate dents, surface scratches and scuffs, paint peeling or fading, small cracks, surface rust, early-stage wood rot, and weather seal deterioration. However, severe structural cracks compromising integrity, extensive rust causing metal perforation, severe warping affecting door operation, large holes or punctures, and damage exceeding 50% of the panel typically require replacement rather than repair. Our technicians provide honest assessments and will recommend the most cost-effective solution that ensures your door’s safety and longevity.

Most panel repairs can be completed in 2-4 hours for scheduled service in Beaverton. Simple dent removal or minor touch-ups may take as little as 1-2 hours, while comprehensive repairs involving rust treatment, crack filling, and full panel refinishing typically require 3-4 hours. Multi-panel repairs or complex restoration work may need a full day. Paint drying time can add 24-48 hours before the door should be fully used, though we use reliable-drying products when possible. Our technicians schedule repairs efficiently to minimize inconvenience, and we offer flexible appointment times to accommodate your schedule.

When professionally repaired using proper techniques and materials, panels can regain most of their original strength and durability. For structural repairs involving cracks or significant damage, we use reinforcement backing, high-strength epoxy fillers, and appropriate support methods that can restore 85-95% of the panel’s original integrity. Surface repairs like dent removal, paint restoration, and rust treatment don’t affect structural strength. However, extensively damaged panels with multiple compromised areas may never match the strength of new panels. Our technicians assess whether repair will provide adequate long-term performance or if replacement is the safer investment for your home’s security.

Yes, we specialize in precise color and finish matching for seamless repairs. We use professional color-matching technology and maintain relationships with major garage door manufacturers to source exact paint codes when available. For custom or aged finishes, we can color-match samples on-site and blend repairs so they’re virtually undetectable. We match various finishes including smooth painted surfaces, textured coatings, wood stains and grains, faux wood patterns, and metallic finishes. Keep in mind that UV exposure causes all garage doors to fade over time, so even perfect matches may appear slightly different on older doors. In such cases, we can refinish adjacent panels or the entire door for uniform appearance.
