Types of Panel Damage We Can Fix

When dealing with garage door panel damage, it’s crucial to understand that while it may seem minor, it can lead to serious problems if left unattended.

1. Dents and Dings

We’ve found that accidents are another leading cause of door panel damage in Raleigh, Durham, and Fayetteville communities. Whether it’s an impact from vehicles or tools or a game of catch gone awry, these mishaps often result in hefty insurance claims.

RJ Garage Door Service is your local expert in fixing accidental damage, ensuring your garage door is back in optimal condition quickly and without the risks involved in doing it yourself.

2. Cracks

Cracks in garage door panels, typically in wooden doors, can develop over time, especially if the door is exposed to moisture or extreme temperatures. In the Raleigh and Fayetteville areas, these are typically caused by weather exposure, moisture infiltration, or aging wood.

3. Rust and Corrosion

Rust spots can develop on metal garage doors due to prolonged exposure to moisture and humidity. If left untreated, rust can spread and weaken the panel structure. What causes this issue? Typically, rain, snow, or salty air exposure in coastal regions.

4. Warping

Warping occurs when garage door panels lose their shape, often due to changes in temperature and humidity, causing them to bend or twist. If you have lived in the Raleigh, Durham, or Fayetteville areas for a summer, you know that moisture absorption from the humidity or the excessive heat can cause warping.

5. Fading and Discoloration

Over time, exposure to sunlight and the elements can cause paint or finishes to fade, leaving the panels dull or discolored. They don’t call it Carolina Blue for any reason; the sun shines alot, causing UV radiation to fade or discolor your doors.

6. Chipping or Peeling Paint

Paint or finishes on garage door panels may begin to chip or peel due to aging or lack of maintenance. This can be due to many reasons, such as poor paint adhesion, weather exposure, or natural wear.

7. Broken or Split Panels

Severe damage, such as broken or completely split panels, can occur from high-impact accidents or structural weakness. This can compromise the integrity of the door. Typically, we see this when a collision, heavy impact, or extreme force has occurred.

8. Misaligned Panels

Panels may become misaligned or uneven, affecting the smooth operation of the garage door and causing it to stick or jam. This typically occurs due to damaged tracks, loose hardware, or excessive force on the door.

9. Rotting Wooden Doors

Wooden garage door panels can begin to rot due to prolonged exposure to moisture, leading to soft, weakened areas. Another big issue we see in the great state of NC – is moisture exposure, poor sealing, or lack of maintenance.

10. Panel Separation

This happens when the panels begin to separate, affecting the door’s structural integrity and safety. When we see this, it’s typically due to overuse, the door being old and needing to be replaced, poor installation, or damage from impact.

With our panel replacement services and durability improvement techniques, we’ll ensure your garage door remains a reliable feature of your home.
