Garage Doors

If you or your family members have a car, you surely know the benefits of a garage. Convenient and practical as both a measure of caution and as a space saver, garages keep your car safe, keep the exterior of your house clean and free of clutter, and keep the value of your house high when it comes to resale.

Are you searching for a place to do your work? Sometimes it can seem like there's simply no space for a dedicated home office. Taking your existing garage and turning it into an office is an excellent option that provides space without taking over common family areas.

If you’re considering garage heating or looking to replace your existing system, you’ll be happy to know that you have a lot of different options to choose from. Detached and attached garages have different heating needs, but you just have to know what you’re looking for.

The Internet and digital technology have allowed misinformation to spread far and wide, with social media posts shared simply because the information “seems” true without anyone taking a few minutes to verify its validity.

Whether you own a service station, an automotive garage, a warehouse, or something else, you know the value of garage doors. In most cases, commercial garage doors are 10’ x 12’ and very different from residential garage doors.

What are your feelings about your garage? Maybe you rarely even think about it as little more than the spot where you park the car and store odds and ends like seasonal furniture, garden tools, and so on.

You get what you pay for. You may have heard this used in a variety of different settings. The overall idea is that if you pay a premium price, you get good quality, and if you pay a cheap price, you get poor quality. The same applies when finding a contractor to install your new garage door system. There are many to choose from and the prices they charge will vary. You may get a few quotes and there will always be someone who is willing to do the job for less money. The problem is, this often leads to problems later on.

It is easy to get used to small noises or irregularities if your garage door is still working properly. Just like that slight rattle you hear while driving, you get used to the sound until you forget about it all together. However, unlike your car that you take to the mechanic for routine maintenance, your garage door is often times ignored until it quits functioning altogether.

Pretty much everyone can picture a standard garage door in their mind. In general, a single door is roughly 8 or 9 ft. wide and 7 or 8 ft wide tall. Double garage doors come in similar heights to the single doors, but the widths range from 14 ft all the way up to 18 ft wide. However, even if you have a garage door that is on the taller end of the spectrum, it may not be tall enough to fit a larger sports utility vehicle or SUV, and it most certainly won’t be tall enough to accommodate an RV or recreational vehicle. An 8 ft tall door just isn’t tall enough for most RVs.

If you have one, chances are good that you take it for granted. Your garage door opener is one of the unsung heroes in the world of home appliances. It works tirelessly, day in and day out, year after year. It ensures that you enjoy convenience, that you don’t have to get out in the rain or snow to open the garage door, and it never complains. How much do you know about how it works, though? Most people have very little knowledge of how an electric garage door opener works. Below, we’ll run through some of the basics of garage door opener operation so you can have more appreciation for what it does to benefit your life day after day.
