Trim around garage door replacement (lemm.ee)

It's a long story, but I need the aluminum trim replaced around a garage door. Just basic white aluminum trim.

I don't want to do it myself...but I have no idea what kind of contractor I even need to call to do it. What kind of contractor would I call to do this? I'm in Maryland, US.

Google searches either lead me to garage door replacement or siding replacement, neither of which is what I'm actually looking for.

Is there a site where I can post a picture of the project and dimensions and get contractors to bid on it, or at least express interest on it? Angi (formerly Angie's List) seems to require me to figure out what kind of contractor I need, and this doesn't fall into the usual categories.

Thanks!

can you share some photos, I did not get it (do not have garage, but worked with shutters of shops), My guess without anything else would be people who generally install this stuff would also do repairs.

Yeah I'll get one. It's just trim around the opening. Most exterior doors have something similar.
