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!

Is it the trim that goes inside of the garage doors frame? About 8 or so inches wide? If so you're probably looking at either prevent alhminum fascia or aluminum trim coil. Most any general contractor should be able to replace it. The prebent stuff is easy peasy, the rolls of trim coil take a little more care but its still not that big of a challenge.
