It can be a broken garage door in Nyack New York, a broken overhead garage door in Staten Island, or a broken garage door in Greenwich, the question is always in the air. The problem with the question if to repair or to completely replace the overhead door is that there is no simple straight forward answer to the question, and to give a professional, and the right answer, require that one of our garage door specialist in Rockland County will check the door, inspect the condition of the door, and only then he will be able to answer the question if to repair the current garage door in Rockland County to completely remove the current one, and to install a new overhead door.

Garage door that cannot be repaired

Is repairing the garage door is the cheapest option?

Some garage door owners in Rockland New York, and it can be owner of a broken garage door in Spring Valley, or owner of a garage door in Haverstraw, insist assume that repairing the existing garage door is necessarily the best decision.  Many times while servicing overhead doors in Rockland County, we are getting calls to service old garage door, which was installed 30 years ago, and not once more than that. Now let’s make it clear: Some people have sentimental values for the garage door they own in Rockland County, and they don’t want to even consider replacing the door, since it is important for them that the same door will remain installed. One time we had a customer for garage door repairs in Rockland County, who had an old wooden garage door that the father built and installed more than 40 years ago. And that particular customer insisted that we will repair the door, no matter what the cost will be.
Even that repairing the door cost him as much as a completely new high quality garage door,  we repaired the door and renovate it, and by the end of the project (which we really enjoyed by the way), he had the same garage door, and it was working and looked as good as new.  And more important, the garage door was safe to use, like every garage door we service in Rockland County should be.
But this is one case out of many. Most people want to save money, and they are not sure what will be the right decision for them is. So we would like to make it clear and simple: Even if the door is repairable, fixing garage door in Rockland County isn’t always the cheapest decision.
