What is Garage Door Hail Damage: Know the Signs

Garage door hail damage occurs when hailstones dent, ding, crack, or otherwise compromise your door’s structure. The severity depends on the hail’s size and speed, as well as the door’s material. Even small hail can leave noticeable dents, causing both cosmetic and functional issues.

Common Signs of Garage Door Hail Damage

The most common signs of garage door hail damage include dents and dings, cracked panels, chipped paint, and operational issues. While the damage may seem small, even minor issues can lead to bigger problems, including rust, structural degradation, and even misalignment of your door.

Excellent experience with our new garage door install. We can’ even hear the door opening and closing, it’s very quiet. Our install was done by Mike B and he was very thorough when explaining things after installation. Would definitely recommend them if you’re looking for a new garage door.

Claud Asani

Routine yearly maintenance went well. Mike thoroughly explained the work that was done, no issues were found, and further steps to take for garage door care in the future. I appreciate it the work and the expertise care of my garage door. Thank you, Mike

Stephanie Sawchuk

My old garage door broke and I was thinking about installing a new one myself. But for the price I got on the garage door and the install/ removal it was actually way more in my benefit to go with them. Brandon is an amazing guy he came to my place and looked at the garage door and helped me decide what product that best suited me. I’m very glad I went in today! Would 100% recommend them to any friends or family.!!

Common Questions

  • Dents and dings in panels
  • Cracks or punctures in weaker panels
  • Chipped or flaked paint, exposing bare metal
  • Misalignment or binding when opening/closing
  • Warping of thin aluminum or composite sections

Look for:

  • Visible indentations or divots
  • Cracked or split sections
  • Discoloured, peeling, or missing paint
  • Noise, stiffness, or jerky motion when operating
  • Gaps or misalignment between panels

If you notice any of these after a storm, call a technician for an inspection.

Yes. Even small hailstones can leave surface damage (dents, paint chips), especially on softer materials like aluminum. Over time, these minor flaws can lead to corrosion or operational problems.

The short answer is, it depends on the severity:

  • Minor dents: possibly manageable with paintless dent repair tools
  • Paint chips: You can touch up the paint, but color-match and adhesion are critical
  • Structural damage, cracking, or misalignment: best left to professionals

If you’re unsure if DIY is the best solution for you, you may want to call in the pros. An improper repair could worsen the damage or void warranties.

  • Dent repair / paintless dent removal for non-structural damage
  • Panel replacement for damaged sections only
  • Full door replacement when structural integrity is compromised
Minor repairs often take a few hours. Panel replacement or repainting may take a day or more, depending on parts and finishing. Full replacements may take multiple days (removal, installation, finishing).

That depends on your homeowner’s insurance policy. Many policies include “storm damage” or “hail damage” coverage.

To help your claim:

  • Document damage right after the storm (photos/videos)
  • Keep invoices and repair estimates
  • Get a professional assessment

We can provide quotes, repair reports, and help liaise with insurance adjusters.

As soon as you can. Leaving damage unchecked:

  • Allows rust or corrosion to develop
  • Can worsen structural issues
  • May affect the door’s safe operation

Prompt repair preserves functionality and curb appeal.

We’ll have your new garage door up and running in no time—so you can get on with your day, worry-free.
