What is the best material for building a garage?

• <div><p>Wood, steel, fiberglass, and aluminum are among the top building materials for a garage. Wood is highly customizable, naturally insulative, and durable in mild climates but can be expensive. Steel is lightweight, low-maintenance, and cost-effective, but it’s susceptible to rust. Fiberglass is low-maintenance and doesn’t shrink or expand in changing temperatures, but it can become brittle and crack from prolonged high winds and sun exposure. </p><p>Unlike steel, aluminum isn’t susceptible to rust and is low-maintenance, but its ultra-light weight makes it less durable than some materials, and it’s susceptible to saltwater damage, making it a poor choice for coastal homes.</p></div>

Does a garage count toward square footage?

• <div><p>A garage only counts toward the official square footage of a house if it’s livable. The exact legal requirements for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/is-garage-considered-living-space.htm">what’s considered living space</a> can vary by location, but heating and ventilation are often required for it to be counted. If the garage is converted into an extra room, it may count toward the total square footage. </p></div>

Q: Can garage doors work with one spring?

• <div><p>With the exception of small, lightweight torsion-spring garage doors, which can operate with one spring, most garage doors require two springs to work properly. Garage doors with extension springs always require two springs&mdash;if one extension spring is broken or otherwise failing, the garage door may open unevenly and could pose a hazard if the remaining spring fails.</p></div>

Q: How much epoxy paint do I need to paint a two-car garage floor?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-paint-do-i-need.htm">amount of paint needed</a> to cover a two-car garage floor depends on the surface area and the product's coverage rate. On average, a standard two-car garage floor measures 400 to 500 square feet. Coverage ranges from 100 to 200 square feet per gallon for epoxy paint, depending on the product and application method. After some quick math, you may need 2 to 5 gallons of epoxy paint with two coats to cover a two-car garage floor. </p></div>

Q: Are there environmentally friendly garage building materials available?

• <div><p>Yes, with sustainable wood products and high-efficiency lighting options.</p></div>

I had a hose Bibb replacement outside my garage door. The plumber was on time and very nice. It took him less than 30 minutes to replace a $25 part and he charged me $509. You might can get a better plumber but you won’t pay more! It is a shame because he did a good job.
