Definition
Swapping the damaged skin or section of a door rather than replacing the whole thing — the usual remedy after a bumper tap or a hailstorm dents one or two sections. It makes financial sense when the door is fairly new, the model is still manufactured, and the damage is cosmetic or limited. It stops making sense when sections are discontinued, sun-faded colors will not match, or the damage reaches the track and spring hardware. Door Serv Pro prices both paths so you can compare honestly.
