Those are wiser words than you might realize, even if you have already heard them in one form or another (i.e. “you get what you pay for”) before. They are as true for buying a pair of sneakers as a brand new garage door system, and because of that it pays to know how to choose the right vendor.

People can quickly become accustomed to little noises and hiccups that happen in many aspects of their life. Their house might creak and they soon come to ignore it. Their garage door might make a little noise and they ignore that, as well. As long as everything is working, people tend not to think about those noises with the garage door, as long as they are small sounds. If they have a car that makes noise, people tend to take it into the shop for a checkup and tune-up, though, even when it seems to be running fine.
When it comes to single doors for the garage, most people have a good idea of how large they are. They tend to be between 8’ and 9’ wide, and they are between 7’ and 8’ high. When it comes to the double garage doors, the size is naturally going to be much larger. They will often be between 14’ and 16’ wide, although they could be up to 18’ wide in some cases. If you have an RV or an SUV, though, you might be wondering if the size of a garage door is going to be large enough to handle your vehicle. While the width might be fine for many of these types of vehicles, there can sometimes be a question of whether the height is going to work.

Whether you are actually about to list your home for sale or simply looking for a way to boost curb appeal, you need to look at the exterior of the property. While it’s true that the interior matters the most, there is a lot to be said for first impressions.
Is your garage filled to the brim with boxes, tools, toys, and doo-dads that you probably don’t need and that you certainly can’t navigate through and around any longer? It is high time that you did something about this problem, and one of the best and simplest ways to do it is with a garage sale.
Many homeowners know that their garage is often a cool and dry spot at almost any time of year, but especially during the heat of summer. It protects the car and keeps lots of belongings safe and secure, but it can do a lot more than that.
At a glance, most garage doors can seem pretty similar. This is particularly true for insulated garage doors with the same R‑value (or RSI). Does that mean that if two doors have the same RSI, they offer comparable protection?
Whether you’ve moved multiple times in your life, or you’re leaving your first home, there’s one thing that we can all agree on: packing up the garage is never any fun.
Turning your house into the place where you feel at home means that you want to see your style reflected in every detail. In the last few years, garage door manufacturers have been adding many new styles to their catalogues so that you can make the first entrance you see to your home exactly what you want.
