Hey friend, you're the Bob Ross of the garage doors. 😊 I've got some peace of mind while I was listening to you. Great job.

Dear Genius, You have the best and the most cost-effective video for replacing the garage door panels. I purchased the panel (bottom one) from Clopay through the local Home Depot and successfully replaced the damaged one with the new one. It has probably saved me a couple of hundred dollars from hiring a professional. BTW, my panel was $167 before the pandemic when I checked, but it was now $485. My wait of three years cost me about $300 more, which cannot be attributed to inflation. Anyway, I wanted to leave this note and thank the Genius again.

I just hit my moms garage I thank you for this video

You the man!! Been dreading this jobs for months, with my new bottom panel collecting dust. I’m about to knock it out in 15 minutes like you!

Definitely the most helpful video I’ve found about this. Thank you!

Absolutely great! Thank you. I love the headcam, it really is helpful so I could see exactly what you see during the steps.

Appreciate the content. This was very helpful for an upcoming job. As always, thank you!!

Best in the game right there! Keep rockin’ Dickie! 🔥🤘🏻🔥

I was considering replacing my wooden garage doors for around 5K because bottom panels were rotted/damaged. After watching your video I'm inspired to take the wood panels off and try to replace or repair the rotten sections with plywood. Thanks for video.

Best video I’ve seen about this. What would happen if you used one of the upper panels for the very bottom panel?

this is the best video of all congratulations!

Great video! I needed to replace the bottom panel and I was wondering about the tension cables.

Other than the camera losing the shot once in a while it was a pretty good video. Just enough commentary to understand without too much blah blah blah. Haha. Now I can do mine. Thanks!

You Rock Richard ! Yours is the only video on KZfaq that shows us DIY'ers to use the torsion rods to backwind the cables. All other videos are from pros using cable pullers/come-alongs. Question: I've used the tension rods once before to wind-up a new spring. In that case I would rest the rods on the wood framing overhead. In the application is it safe to rest the tension rod on the garage door for that long while doing the repair? It's not too much force? Thanks again man!

Great video.

Thank you 🔥🔥🔥

Welcome back dude! Cool video too. you should do more videos like this!

Wow thanks for the information i will try to attempt this myself

YOUR BACK!!!!

The "Nascar pit stop" version, but I learned a couple things, thanks. LOL

You made that look so easy 😳🤔

YES! you got it back!

Nice

Great job. I ordered tension bar tools and vice grips. What happens if people do this without adjusting the spring first?

Can you refer me to a trusted garage door repair guy in Plano or Frisco or Collin County Texas area. Need 2 top panels and one bottom panel replaced. i am assuming just checking the 2 doors over as well.

What did you charge to replace the panels?

Richard! I'm so glad to see you back in the game. We have missed you my friend. I tried reaching out to you about a couple of weeks ago. Hit me up when you get a chance?

Great video! I am having difficulty finding a place that sells the panels. Any recommendation?

So are you loosening spring tension or increasing it when you crank it upwards like that? I need to take out the bottom panel of a door that has two springs, one on each side of center. So can I do what you did one spring at a time, raising up the door to get that bottom panel off?

I am going to replace all 4 panels on both of my 8x7 flush panel garage doors. Do you recommend raising it up and following the same procedure, starting from the top or bottom first? Thanks!

Good stuff! Can you share where you ordered those plain panels with no embossed patterns? My panels look very similar. I don't know the manufacturer. Thx 👍

How do you release the tension on the spring if its got a double spring. Do the torsion rods lift the spring around that easily?

individual panels are hard to find and they ain't cheap, how much did you pay for those panels?

Hey Richard I have a question for you. Is this procedure the same for replacing the top section? Have a great day.

Where do you buy a replacement panel? I damaged my bottom panel and can't figure out where to just buy 1 panel. Thanks!

where did you purchase the section for the garage door? I have a clopay

I’ll have to remember the vice grips on the cable trick. That would have been helpful when I had to remove the bottom brackets to put the rollers back on a door that also had gotten hit by a car and the rails were concreted in.

Anyone know the price r of the panels?

Where do you order replacement panels?

What was that, about $400 in parts and $900 in labor?

Any help would be appreciated since you are in Austin.

Did you put the lock back on door . Is clopay

Can I buy the plastic part that acts as a gasket between the garage door panels?

How much is the bottom section replace?

Geez, 4 pair of VISGRIPS, whoa...

good info but next time you video leave the camera off of your head

Bro you changed your phone number. Sure could use your help here In pville

Yoooo what’s up

Nice job. I have work to do to two garage doors and I called two contractors that live locally and left messages that they can fix or talk me into replacing doors and nobody calls me back. I swear this pandemic and gov. shutting country down changed everything from prices to people even wanting to work. Never ever seen how something can change the way people think like this. Competition was everywhere years ago. Now they just give the job away. Frustration in getting parts and materials just broke a lot of peoples spirits. It’s sad. The leaders dropped the ball on this. Maybe planned I don’t know.

Ooooooooff
