With cosmetic damage, it’s generally more affordable to look for professional garage door repair in Ottawa. However, if your overhead door is more than ten years old, or you’re facing frequent repairing problems, you have to consider replacement. A new overhead door may be a better match for your house and even improve its overall curb appeal.
