Garaga garage door repair
Garaga garage door repair costs $150 to $650. Garaga is a Canadian manufacturer built around cold-climate performance, which makes them a reasonable choice in freeze–thaw markets — and makes the weatherseal, not the panel, the part most worth maintaining.

Built for cold climates. In a freeze–thaw market the bottom seal matters more than the door's R-value.
What insulation actually does on a garage door
Garaga's insulated doors use injected polyurethane between steel skins, which gives both a higher R-value and a stiffer, quieter panel than a hollow door.
The stiffness is the underrated benefit. A rigid panel resists the twisting that eventually loosens hinges and pulls a door out of alignment, so an insulated door tends to stay square longer than a hollow one.
The R-value itself is worth less than manufacturers imply if the garage is unheated and uninsulated everywhere else. A high-R door in a garage with a bare block wall and an unsealed gap under the door is not doing much.
In a freeze–thaw climate the seal is the weak point
The bottom weatherseal is the single component that most affects how a garage behaves in winter, on any brand. It is also the one that fails soonest: the rubber stiffens in cold, takes a set, and stops sealing against an uneven slab.
Replacing a bottom seal costs $80 to $220 and is worth doing before it splits, particularly where the door freezes to the slab. A door frozen down and then driven by an opener is how bottom sections get bent and cables jump the drum.
Where a slab has settled unevenly, a taller or dual-fin seal closes the gap the standard profile no longer reaches.
Common questions
Is a high R-value garage door worth it?
It depends on the rest of the garage. In an attached, insulated, heated garage a high-R door pays back. In an unheated garage with uninsulated walls, the door's R-value is not the limiting factor — and in any case a failed bottom seal undoes more than the panel rating provides.
Why does my garage door freeze to the ground?
Meltwater collects under the bottom seal and refreezes, bonding the rubber to the slab. A hardened or split seal makes it worse because water pools rather than being shed. Replacing the bottom seal costs $80 to $220 and is the fix — never force a frozen door with the opener, which bends the bottom section and can throw a cable off the drum.
