Yes, many service companies in Santa Cruz can replace garage door panels. When panels get worn or damaged, replacement is often a simple solution, which may be less costly than buying a new garage door. However, do take the following 3 factors into account.

To find out, you’ll need a serial number (check the inside lower section of your door). You also have to find a panel that matches the existing color.

This will allow you to decide whether replacing the panel is the most cost-effective course of action. If two or more panels are damaged, installing a new garage door could actually be more affordable.
