It is a double-sided garage door made of wood with foru windows along
the top. The door is quite old, if it is as old as the house, it is
upwards of 25 years old. We were actually thinking of replacing it,
since it is starting to rot through at the bottom.

Don't spend a dollar on repairs in that case. Just replace the
doors. Wooden doors suck anyway, IMO. They're heavy, they rot,
they sag and they break. Definitely replace the tracks too
although you can probably re-use the existing opener if it's
in good condition.

Replacing our wooden garage doors with some good quality
insulated metal doors was the best thing we've done on
our 20 year old home. It didn't cost an arm or a leg either.

Around here at least, the smaller independent garage door
contractors will do the job better and quicker than Home
Depot et al. Just be sure to check references etc. because
there are some cowboys in that game.
