Okay so this morning my wife backed in to the garage door heading out to work this morning . Needless to say it did some significant damage, and upon trying to move the door, most of the door came of the hinges, screws popped out and is slammed down on the floor... completely inoperable now. Can anyone recommend a good company for repair? Any insight on average costs (I understand this is limited information). It is a single door but dual car garage. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

If it's a steel door, it's probably totally trashed, since once they're bent they don't usually go back together again very well. To replace the whole door, you're probably looking at around $600, depending on if the tracks need to be replaced as well.

Thanks... but hopefully I won't have to replace the whole door. It didn't look that bad (though I have no experience in this matter).

OKay so the Overhead Door Co was amazing! They were able to come out to my house today, and they actually arrived on time! It took him all of but 1 hour to get my door back up and working without needing to order or replace any parts. The damage... only $125.00. Amazing! I know I will use them anytime I have garage problems. But hopefully my wife will remember to let the door go up before she backs out next time!

Thanks again to everyone who responded and offered advice.
