Panel damage is usually one section, not a reason to replace the whole door.
A dent from a car or ladder
A hit panel can often be swapped on its own without touching the rest of the door.
A cracked or split panel
Cold weather and age make steel and fiberglass panels brittle at the seams.
Rust coming through the bottom section
The bottom panel holds water longest and is usually the first to go.
One panel does not match the rest
Sun fades panels at different rates, and a mismatched section stands out.
The door binds or scrapes at one point
A warped panel can pull the whole door out of alignment with the track.
Daylight or a draft through a seam
A cracked panel breaks the seal, and that shows up as a draft or a line of light.
Panel Repair
Garage Door Panel Repair in New York
Most panel damage is one section, not the whole door. We match the panel to your door’s brand, color and profile where it is still made, and replace just that section.
Hinges and rollers around the damaged panel come off with it and go back on new, since a bent hinge is usually what let the panel get damaged in the first place.
What the job includes
Panel matched to your door’s brand, model and color where available
Single or multiple section replacement
Hinges and rollers reset around the new panel
Nearby panels checked for hidden dents or cracks
Track and balance retested after the swap
Old panel and hardware hauled away
How We Repair a Damaged Panel
Six steps, whether it is one panel or three.
1
Identify the exact match
Door brand, model, panel profile and color are confirmed before anything is ordered.
2
Secure the door
Tension is checked and the door is safely supported before the damaged panel is touched.
3
Remove the damaged section
The panel, and its hinges and rollers, come off as one.
4
Install the matching panel
New panel goes in with new hinges and rollers, not the bent originals.
5
Realign the track
The door is re-squared to the track so the new panel does not bind or scrape.
6
Balance and cycle test
The door is tested by hand and run through several cycles before we leave.

Why Century
New York’s garage doors, handled by one company
Century is not a lead broker passing your address to whoever bids for it. Our own technicians run the calls, in our own vans, with parts already on board.
We cover New York City and the surrounding boroughs, on everything from a single family garage to a brownstone carriage door or a commercial roll up gate. Same crews, same trucks, and the same way of pricing a job on every call.
Our own technicians, not subcontractors
Every technician is on our payroll, in a marked van, and trained on the brands we install. You are not handed off to a stranger, and the person who quotes the job is the person who does it.
A written price before anything is touched
The technician inspects the door, then hands you a written price covering parts and labor. You approve it and work starts. The number does not change halfway through the job.
Springs, cables and openers stocked on the van
Torsion and extension springs, cables, drums, rollers, bearings and opener units ride on the van, so most repairs are finished on the first visit instead of waiting on an order.
BBB accredited, licensed and insured
Accredited with the Better Business Bureau, fully licensed and insured, with a 5.0 rating from over 4,000 Google reviews.
All five boroughs, seven days a week
Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island. Weekends and holidays included, on residential garages and commercial roll up doors.
Search for a garage door repair and half the results are brokers reselling your number. Here is our sequence, in order.
1
A person picks up
One number, answered by a live operator around the clock. You describe what the door is doing.
2
You get a window
An arrival window, then a text when the truck actually leaves for your address.
3
Full inspection first
The technician inspects the whole door before quoting anything. Springs, cables, rollers, tracks, opener and balance.
4
Price before tools
A written price before a tool comes out of the van. You approve it, then work starts. Not the other way round.

I had a broken engine and after a half an hour, Michael the technician arrived. He gave me all the options for the different engines Chamberlain LiftMaster, and craftsman. We eventually decided to install a LiftMaster engine and now it functions perfectly.
