People buy new garage doors for a variety of reasons. Sometimes just for aesthetics. If it costs almost enough to repair a door because it is old or damaged as it is to buy a new one, we encourage individuals to consider buying a new door. A new door comes with new everything except a motor. Many people choose to add a new opener because it is old enough to be at the end of its life (10 to 12 years depending on frequency of use). Accidents sometimes necessitate a new door.
