Q: Can I use a torch to melt the ice in front of my garage door?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to use a torch to melt ice on your garage door, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. It&rsquo;s very easy to bring the flame too close to the door, which can melt the weather stripping or even the garage door itself. You&rsquo;ll melt ice quickly with a torch, but the damage you&rsquo;re likely to cause can end up costing you a few hundred dollars to fix, which isn&rsquo;t worth it. Instead, we recommend pouring hot water over the frozen area or using a less intense heat source, like a hair dryer or space heater.</p></div>

Q: Do hurricane garage doors require regular maintenance?

• <div><p>Just like any other part of your home, hurricane garage doors need regular maintenance to stay in top shape. This ensures they function optimally during storms and provide the protection you need.</p><p>You can do some basic maintenance yourself, like cleaning the tracks and lubricating the moving parts. It's as simple as using a mild detergent and water to clean the tracks and applying a silicone-based lubricant to the hardware. However, for more in-depth maintenance and inspections, it's a good idea to call in the professionals to identify any potential problems and fix them before they become more significant issues.</p></div>

Q: Should garage doors be painted flat or gloss?

• <div><p>You can use a wide variety of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-sheen-exterior-paint.htm">finishes for garage doors</a>, and the choice comes down to personal preference. You can use a semi-gloss, eggshell enamel sheen, matte, or satin enamel. You may even prefer a solid color wood stain. The key is finding an exterior paint that can withstand the elements your garage door is so frequently exposed to.</p></div>

Q: What are the alternatives to a driveway gate?

• <div><p>A traditional driveway gate isn&rsquo;t your only option when installing a barricade in front of your driveway. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-security-gates.htm">security gate</a> like a swing gate, double swing gate, bi-folding gate, vertical gate, or pivot gate could work just as well as your driveway gate&mdash;if not better for your home depending on which qualities you&rsquo;re after. Like sliding driveway gates, many of these alternatives work with automatic features that simplify entering and exiting your property.</p></div>

Q: How long does a garage floor sealer last on average?

• <div><p>Garage floor sealers last anywhere from one to 10 years on average, depending on the type of sealer you use and the traffic it&rsquo;s exposed to. Acrylic sealers have the shortest longevity, whereas most other options can last anywhere from five to 10 years. If you use an acrylic sealant to protect against stains, reapply every one to two years. Reapply other types of concrete sealers every five years for the best results and maximum protection.</p></div>
