Is an insulated garage door worth it?

Three to six hours for a single door, four to eight for a double with a new opener.

Can I replace just the panels?

Sometimes, if the model is still made. Panel replacement runs $250 to $800 each, so two or more damaged panels usually justify a new door.

How long do garage doors last?

Fifteen to thirty years for the door, ten to fifteen for the opener, and five to ten years for springs.
