Northern Colorado is no stranger to severe weather. From fast-moving summer storms to sudden hail and even tornadoes, homeowners in Fort Collins, Loveland, and nearby areas know that Mother Nature doesn’t hold back.
One of the most vulnerable—and often overlooked—parts of your home during these storms? Your garage door. At Diamond Hand Garage Doors, we’ve seen firsthand how hail and high winds can wreak havoc on garage doors. Here’s what you need to know to protect your home—and how we can help.
Why Garage Doors Take a Beating During Storms
Garage doors are large, exposed, and structurally critical. Here’s how storms cause serious damage:
🌪️ Tornadoes and High Winds
• Pressure points: Standard garage doors can buckle under extreme wind pressure.
• Structural risk: A failed garage door can lead to roof damage or total structural failure.
🌨️ Hailstorms
• Surface damage: Dents, cracks, and impact damage from hailstones.
• Broken windows: Especially in decorative or glass panel doors, which can also cause water damage inside the garage.

Signs of Hail or Wind Damage
After a storm in Fort Collins or surrounding areas, check for:
• Dents or creases in metal door panels
• Misalignment or difficulty opening
• Loud noises or jerky movement when operating
• Cracked or shattered windows
• Visible warping or sagging
If you see any of these signs, it’s time to call the pros before it gets worse.
