Common problems this covers
Wind-bent or buckled track
High winds pushing against a closed door, or flying debris, can bend one or both tracks, affecting the door’s entire travel path even without panel damage.
Hail-dented or cracked panels
Severe hail can dent or crack multiple panels across the door’s surface, sometimes affecting more area than a single localized impact.
Vehicle impact damage
A vehicle striking the door — whether backing out before it’s fully open or a collision from outside — frequently damages the track, panel, and sometimes the surrounding frame together.
Door forced off its track by wind pressure
Extreme wind loads on a closed door can force it partially or fully off the track, a serious structural event distinct from routine off-track issues.

Frequently asked questions
Should I try to operate my garage door after storm damage?
It’s best to avoid operating a door with visible storm or impact damage until it’s been assessed — a bent track or compromised hardware that isn’t obvious at a glance can make continued operation unsafe or cause further damage.
Does hail damage to a garage door always require full replacement?
Not always — the extent of hail damage varies widely, from a few cosmetic dents to more extensive panel and hardware damage. A full assessment determines whether panel-level repair or full replacement is the more practical path.
Can a garage door be repaired to meet wind-rating requirements after storm damage?
In many cases, yes, if the repair uses correctly rated replacement components — in wind-load-regulated regions, it’s worth confirming with your technician that the restored door meets the applicable local rating, not just that it operates again.
Is storm damage to a garage door common?
Yes — because garage doors span a large, exposed opening, they’re one of the more commonly storm-damaged exterior components on a home, particularly in regions prone to high winds, hail, or severe thunderstorms.
