Warranty Claim Tips
- Garage door panel and opener warranties are always separate — track both
- Spring failure is the #1 garage door issue but many warranties limit spring coverage to 3–5 years
- Take photos at installation including hardware closeups
HomeScore Pro Tips
- A garage door replacement costs $1,500–$8,000 without warranty
- Insulated doors (R-16+) from Clopay and C.H.I. carry the strongest panel warranties
