💬 Frequently Asked Questions in Wheaton, IL
Can minor garage door dents be popped out?
Yes, shallow dents without sharp metal creases can often be pushed out and structurally supported from behind with reinforcement struts.
When does a dented section require total replacement?
If the dent has creased through the horizontal interlocking tongue-and-groove joint, the panel cannot seal properly and should be replaced.
Will structural reinforcement affect the door's balance?
Any added hardware adds slight weight. Our technician always checks spring counterbalance and adds quarter-turns as needed to maintain balance.
