Our Mazon panel replacement calls cluster around doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, and ice- and snow-jammed tracks. We fix the cause on the first visit and back it for a decade.
The environment around Mazon is unforgiving on hardware. A humid continental climate — hot, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, with sharp freeze-thaw swings between seasons means freeze-thaw cycles that crack seals and loosen hardware, summer heat and humidity that swell wood doors and rust steel, and humid summers that seize hinges and rollers, so we build every quote around durability.
Most Mazon service tickets come down to doors frozen to the slab on cold mornings, rusted hardware from snowmelt and road salt, cold-snapped torsion springs in deep winter, and ice- and snow-jammed tracks. We carry the springs, cables, rollers, and opener boards to handle all of them out of one truck.
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.
