Cracked or Dented Garage Door Panels — Replaced, Not Re-Sold
Backed into the door? Hailstorm? Tree branch? You don\’t need a whole new door — you need the damaged panel replaced and the rest left alone. Eastwood sources matching panels from Clopay, Amarr, and CHI, color-matches to your existing finish, and swaps it in 90 minutes.
When you need a panel — and when you need a whole door
- Single panel cracked or dented: replace just that panel. Done in an hour, costs a fraction of a new door.
- Two adjacent panels damaged: still cheaper than a full door, but get both quoted.
- Three or more panels damaged: at this point a new door is usually competitive on cost and gives you fresh hardware too.
- Frame or struts bent: the door\’s structural integrity is compromised. New door.
- Older door (15+ years): matching panels may be discontinued. Worth checking before committing.
Brands and models we panel-match
Most homes have one of these: Clopay (Premium Series, Gallery, Coachman, Avante), Amarr (Stratford, Olympus, Lincoln, Heritage), CHI (steel and Carriage House series), Wayne Dalton (Classic Steel, Designer), Garaga, and Haas. We can identify yours from a photo of the lock-side edge or the inside of a panel — the manufacturer plate is usually riveted there.
Color matching — getting it right
Factory finishes age. A 2018 Clopay Almond won\’t quite match a 2026 Clopay Almond, even from the same supplier. We bring color samples to the estimate, hold them against your door, and either order the closest factory match or arrange a paint match through a local body shop. Most of the time the factory match is invisible from the curb. When it isn\’t, we\’ll tell you upfront.
What it costs

Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know before booking a service.
Can you match a 20-year-old door panel?
Sometimes. Older models may be discontinued — we'll check with the manufacturer's parts division while we're at the estimate.
Will the new panel match the others perfectly?
Factory finishes age slightly differently. We aim for a match invisible from the curb. We'll show you the new panel against the old before we install it.
How long does panel replacement take?
60–90 minutes for a single panel. We balance the door and replace any damaged hinges while we're there.
Should I replace just the bottom panel after rust?
Yes — bottom panels are the most exposed to water and weather. A panel swap is way cheaper than letting it spread.
