There is a straightforward way to decide, and it does not require trusting anyone's opinion. It requires four pieces of information.
The Four Inputs
First, the age of the door. Second, whether it carries a product approval label. Third, the number of service calls it has needed in the last three years. Fourth, the quoted repair cost as a share of the replacement cost.
If the door is unlabeled, over fifteen years old, has needed two or more repairs recently, and the quote is more than about a third of replacement, replacing is the better financial decision even before you count the insurance credit.
The Wind Mitigation Factor
In Broward County, an opening protected by a rated door affects your wind mitigation inspection and therefore your premium. That saving repeats annually, which is what tips many borderline cases toward replacement.
Ask your carrier what the opening protection credit is worth on your policy. It is a concrete number, and it belongs in the comparison.
When Repair Is Clearly Right
A five year old insulated impact rated door with a broken spring should be repaired, not replaced. Same for a good door needing rollers, cables, seals or an opener. These are consumables on a sound assembly.
We say so plainly. A shop that recommends replacement for every failed spring is selling, not diagnosing.
Get Both Numbers
We quote the repair and the replacement on the same visit so the comparison is on one page.
