Redan panel replacement, done by a crew that works this area daily. We see sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors most often here, and we carry the parts to resolve them on the first visit.
What wears out a Redan door isn't just use — it's the weather. A warm, humid climate of sultry summers, abundant rainfall, and damp conditions that work hard on metal hardware drives salt-tinged coastal air that accelerates rust near the shore, intense UV that degrades rubber weatherstripping, and morning condensation that collects on cold metal hardware, and we plan for all of it.
Garage doors in Redan tend to fail in predictable ways — sagging insulated panels softened by repeated heat and humidity, pitted galvanized hardware on older doors, swollen, sticking wood doors in summer humidity, and mildew and rust on shaded, north-facing doors. Catching them early during a tune-up usually costs a fraction of an emergency call.
Panel replacement saves homeowners thousands compared to a full door replacement when only one or two sections are damaged. A car backing into the bottom section, a kid's basketball hitting a center panel, or rust creeping along the bottom edge are all repairable without scrapping the rest of the door — if you have the right vendor relationships. We carry stock panels from Clopay, Amarr, Wayne Dalton, CHI, and Raynor, and we color-match the profile and finish so the replacement panel is invisible against the rest of the door.
We will tell you honestly when a panel replacement is the wrong choice. If three or more sections are damaged, if the door is more than 20 years old, or if the door is a discontinued model where replacement panels aren't manufactured anymore, full door replacement is usually the better economic decision. Our techs photograph the damage, measure the door, and price both options so you can choose with full information.
Every panel replacement includes hinge replacement at the new section, a roller inspection, and a balance test once the door is reassembled. Insulated panels (R-8, R-12, R-18) cost slightly more than non-insulated and are a great upgrade opportunity for homeowners with attached garages.
A backed-into bottom section or a basketball dent in a center section is a cosmetic issue that can pull double duty as a structural one if it's deep enough to bend the panel's frame.
Rust streaking from the bottom edge
Coastal homes see bottom-section rust progress upward into the panel skin. Once rust pierces the skin, the panel cannot be refinished and needs replacement.
Cracked or warped wood section
Wood doors suffer water damage and warping that won't reverse with refinishing. Replacing the affected section is faster and cheaper than re-veneering.
Mismatched panel from prior repair
Prior repairs that used an unmatched panel make the door look patched. Replacement with the correct profile and color restores curb appeal.
Insulation upgrade desired
Replacing center panels with R-12 or R-18 insulated panels is an inexpensive way to improve thermal performance on attached garages without replacing the whole door.
Common causes & what we fix
Vehicle impact
Backing into the bottom section is the single most common cause of panel damage we see. The bottom edge takes the hit and the panel buckles inward.
Coastal corrosion
Salt-air pitting on uncoated steel panels progresses over years until rust breaks the painted skin. Repainting only delays it; replacement with hot-dipped galvanized panels stops it.
Hail or wind-blown debris
Hail dents are usually a series of small dimples across one section. Wind-blown branches leave linear creases. Both are good candidates for single-panel replacement.
Hinge or roller failure
A failed hinge can cause the door to twist as it travels, bending the section at the connection points. Repairing the panel without addressing the hinge guarantees a repeat.
Settling foundation
Door frames that have shifted with the foundation force the door panels into a slight twist. The lowest section takes the most stress and is often the first to crack.

Can you match my exact door color?
For stock factory colors (almond, white, sandstone, brown, terratone), yes — we order the exact factory finish. For custom paint jobs or aged finishes, the replacement panel can be field-painted to match.
Is it cheaper than a full door replacement?
For one or two damaged sections, yes — single-panel replacement is typically 30–50% of full-door cost. Past three sections, replacement starts to make economic sense.
Will my panel coverage be affected?
The new panel comes with the manufacturer's standard panel coverage (typically 3–10 years depending on brand). The existing panels retain their original coverage terms.
Do you replace insulation when replacing panels?
Yes — replacement panels arrive with their original factory insulation in place. You can also upgrade insulation rating at this time (R-8 to R-12 or R-18).
