Garage Door Replacement

While minor issues like noisy operation or a broken spring can be fixed, replacement is often the better choice when your door shows signs of severe wear, repeated breakdowns, or outdated safety features. If the door sags, has cracked panels, lacks proper insulation, or is 15+ years old, replacement can improve safety, efficiency, and curb appeal. Repairs may cost you more long-term. At G Brothers Garage Doors, we inspect your setup thoroughly and offer honest guidance on whether a new door will save you money and frustration over time.

Insulated garage doors offer energy efficiency, noise reduction, and temperature control—especially valuable in Lakewood’s varying climate. Non-insulated doors provide basic coverage but can allow extreme heat or cold to affect your garage and even adjacent rooms. Insulated doors (often filled with polyurethane or polystyrene) create a buffer against the elements and improve your home’s overall efficiency. They’re ideal if your garage is attached, used for hobbies, or serves as an entryway. We help you compare options based on your specific usage, budget, and climate needs.

Absolutely. Garage door replacement consistently ranks among the top home improvement projects for return on investment, often recouping 90–100% of the cost. A new door boosts curb appeal instantly, adds security, and shows buyers your home is well maintained. It’s especially impactful in neighborhoods like Lakewood where garages often face the street. A stylish, modern door can transform your home’s appearance and become a major selling point. G Brothers offers doors that balance aesthetics, performance, and affordability for maximum ROI.

The entire process typically takes 1–2 weeks from consultation to installation. After our on-site evaluation and design consultation, we help you select the perfect door for your needs. Standard doors can be installed in just a few hours once delivered. Custom doors or special finishes may take longer to manufacture. We communicate clearly about lead times and keep you updated every step of the way. Our goal at G Brothers is a seamless experience—from design to completion—with no surprises or delays.

Not always. Older openers may lack the power, safety sensors, or technology to work properly with modern, heavier, or insulated garage doors. Some older models aren’t compliant with today’s safety standards, especially if installed before 1993. We inspect your current opener and advise whether an upgrade is necessary. New openers offer quieter performance, smart-home integration, battery backup, and enhanced security features. We often recommend pairing a new opener with your replacement door for the best functionality and long-term reliability.

One of the biggest mistakes is choosing based on looks alone without considering insulation, wind load ratings, or material durability. Others opt for the cheapest option, only to face early wear and poor energy performance. DIY installation is another risk—garage doors are heavy and can be dangerous without the right tools and training. At G Brothers, we walk you through style and function, ensuring your new door fits your lifestyle, local codes, and home architecture. We prioritize safety, performance, and peace of mind.

Lakewood’s weather ranges from freezing winters to sunny, dry summers. That fluctuation means you need a door that resists warping, cracking, and energy loss. Insulated steel or composite doors are ideal—they stand up to snow, UV rays, and temperature swings while protecting your home’s interior. Wooden doors, while beautiful, may need more maintenance in this climate. G Brothers helps you choose materials and insulation levels designed specifically for Colorado’s environment, ensuring durability, efficiency, and long-lasting performance.

Absolutely. Today’s garage doors are highly customizable, offering choices in color, panel design, window inserts, decorative hardware, and even wood-look finishes that mimic real grain without the upkeep. G Brothers works with top manufacturers to offer design options that suit everything from modern homes to rustic Colorado cabins. We also provide renderings to help you visualize the look before ordering. A garage door isn’t just functional—it’s a statement piece. Our team helps you create one that reflects your personal style and boosts your home’s curb appeal.

New garage doors are low-maintenance, but a little care goes a long way. We recommend annual inspections, lubricating moving parts, and cleaning tracks to ensure smooth operation. Visual checks for cable wear, spring tension, and opener alignment can catch issues early. Insulated doors may require occasional weatherstripping replacement over time. G Brothers offers maintenance guidance with every installation and can schedule future service reminders. Regular upkeep extends the life of your investment and keeps your warranty intact.

Modern garage doors are significantly more secure than older models. Newer openers come with rolling code technology, making it nearly impossible for intruders to replicate your signal. Sturdy construction, tamper-resistant brackets, and tight-fitting seals also reduce break-in risks. Smart openers let you monitor and control your garage remotely, offering alerts if it's left open. Replacing a damaged or outdated door is a critical step in securing one of your home’s largest entry points. G Brothers ensures your new door is both beautiful and secure.
