Should I Repair or Replace My Garage Door?

A simple decision framework: if repairs cost more than 50% of a new door, replace it. Here's how to do the math.

Buying Guide February 2, 2026 6 min read

The 50% rule

If a single repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new door, replace it. A new insulated steel door installed runs $1,400–$3,000 in the Hillsborough, NC area.

Other reasons to replace

  • Multiple cracked or rusted panels
  • Door is 20+ years old and uninsulated
  • You're remodeling and want curb-appeal upgrade
  • Repair history is now annual
  • ROI: garage door replacement returns ~120–140% at resale
