Repair vs. Replace: How to Decide
Not every overhead door problem is worth fixing. Use this quick framework:
- Repair if the door is under 12 years old, structurally sound, and the failure is limited to one system (springs, cables, or opener).
- Replace if the door is 15+ years old, has visible rust or panel damage, is uninsulated (huge issue in Missouri winters), or if repair estimates exceed 50% of a new door.
- New insulated overhead doors typically return 90%+ of their cost at resale, according to the annual Cost vs. Value report — one of the best home-improvement ROIs available.
