"I highly recommend Lee’s Doors! I needed to have the backup battery for my opener replaced. Almost immediately after I put in my inquiry with Angi, I received a call from Josh. He was courteous and professional and I was thrilled that he was able to work me into his schedule the very next day! He arrived on time replaced the battery and inspected my door. He spotted a few problems and clearly explained my options. He did not try to sell me expensive equipment or services that I didn’t need. He even volunteered to change the burned out light bulbs in garage ceiling and my garage opener. I’ve been in this house for three years with only two dim lights in my garage and now it is fully lighted! ☺️🤣 Thanks Josh! He even took the initiative to screw in the wall console that wasn’t secured by the previous owner. He honored his very reasonable agreed upon labor rate and didn’t charge me for this extra work. also reasonable rate for his labor. I highly recommend his company."

"Excellent service. Came at the exact time he said he would arrive. He repaired the door springs to make the door usable again. Another company had estimated that we would need new springs and a garage door opener. His repair only cost around $100 verses the other company's estimate of $900. We love his honesty and quality work."

"Most of the crossbars in our fence started to sag after a winter or two. The crossbars seem far too fragile if this is going to happen. Had to spend a few hundred dollars to replace them. A small piece of hardware of the fence has to replaced. The fence is black and I was told the piece doesn't come in black. By the end of the call not only am I getting a different color but I was told *I* have to paint it. They won't."

"I came home from work on Tuesday and the garage door I usually park behind would not open. The problem was the arm that attaches the door to the opener had pulled loose from the door. I called WD Door and they were at my place the next day just about the same time I got home from work. Not only did the service technician repair the door, he also check the other garage door's operation and lubricated both doors. I have used WD Door for all my garage door issues since my home was built in 2000. Their service is excellent, prices are fair, and I highly recommend them to anyone. <br />"

FAQs for garage door installation and replacement projects in Ames, IA

Yes, you can replace just one panel if your door is sectional and the damaged panel is available. Most modern residential garage doors have four to six horizontal panels that can be individually replaced. However, finding an exact match becomes challenging for older doors or discontinued styles. For doors over 15 to 20 years old or with multiple damaged panels, a complete door replacement might be more practical and visually consistent.

Minor dents or cosmetic damage can often be repaired without replacing the entire panel, potentially saving you money. However, if the damage affects the door's operation, security, or structural integrity, replacement is often a better investment. 

For extensive damage to multiple panels or older doors where matching is difficult, full door replacement might be more economical in the long run than multiple individual panel replacements.

Your garage door panel might be repairable if the damage is superficial and doesn't affect functionality. Small dents in aluminum panels, minor scratches, or cosmetic issues often don't require full replacement. However, replacement is often necessary if the panel is warped, has large holes, shows extensive rust, or affects how the door operates. A professional garage door technician can evaluate the damage and recommend whether repair or replacement offers the best value and durability.
