A dented or cracked panel does more than hurt curb appeal—it can compromise the entire door’s balance and safety. Replacing a single garage door replacement panel often saves hundreds of dollars compared with a full-door swap, and CountBricks makes the decision even easier with instant AI-driven pricing. Instead of waiting days for a manual quote, simply speak to our voice bot, list the damage, and receive a detailed materials-and-labor estimate in minutes.
Residential garage doors today are built with stamped-steel, aluminum, composite, or insulated sandwich panels. Each style demands specific fasteners, insulation values, and finish tactics. CountBricks has real-time cost data for every SKU carried by leading U.S. suppliers, so our estimates stay accurate even when material prices fluctuate overnight.
• Material type and gauge
• Door size and wind-load rating
• Paint or powder-coat finish
• On-site labor time and travel distance
• Required spring or track adjustments after install
Step 1: Voice Capture
1. Homeowner or contractor opens the CountBricks mobile app.
2. Describe the damage—our AI converts speech to a structured scope of work.
3. Upload a smartphone photo for blueprint-level takeoff accuracy.
Step 2: Real-Time Material Match
CountBricks cross-references panel measurements with manufacturer catalogs in seconds, selecting the closest color and profile. If the exact model is discontinued, our algorithm suggests the best retrofit kit to maintain door integrity.
Step 3: Instant Labor Calculation
Labor rates are pulled from our regional database, then adjusted for travel, required safety gear, and crew size. With one tap you generate a line-item proposal ready to send or schedule.
• Disconnect the opener and clamp torsion tube before unbolting any hinges to prevent sudden weight shifts.
• Always replace hinge screws with self-tapping TEK fasteners rated for the panel’s metal gauge.
• When upgrading to an insulated panel, rebalance torsion springs; weight changes of even two pounds can shorten motor life.
• Finish with color-matched touch-up paint to protect cut edges from corrosion.
A homeowner noticed a basketball impact dent on the lower left panel of a 16-ft steel door. Using CountBricks.com/services he described the dent, uploaded photos, and received an itemized quote in under five minutes. Our technician arrived with the pre-painted panel the next afternoon. Total on-site time: 2 hours 52 minutes. Because the AI pre-verified spring torque and hinge compatibility, there were zero change orders, and the final invoice matched the original quote to the cent.
Replacing a single panel might look straightforward on YouTube, but residential torsion systems store enough energy to cause serious injury.
• DIY savings average only 15% after tool rentals.
• Manufacturer warranties often voided without certified installation.

Hiring CountBricks eliminates these risks while giving you warranty-protected workmanship. All installations include a written one-year service guarantee stored in your CountBricks project dashboard.

• Opt for factory-primed panels if you plan to repaint the entire door; this can shave 8-12% off material costs.
