Q: What's the best insulation for a garage?

• <div><p>Fiberglass is considered a favorite garage insulation choice due to its combination of affordability, ease of installation, and overall effectiveness. Fiberglass provides good thermal resistance, helping regulate garage temperatures and minimize heat transfer. Additionally, fiberglass is moisture-resistant, reducing the risk of mold or mildew formation. </p></div>

Q: What's the difference between a garage and a carport?

• <div><p>Garages are often equipped with lighting, electrical boxes, and sometimes even heating and cooling, while carports rarely have utilities. A garage is an enclosed structure that can lock and usually has an automatic door. A carport is often wood or plastic and is designed only to protect a car from elements like rain, snow, and hail. Carports are commonly seen on property where an attached garage is unfeasible but can be a cost-effective solution for car protection for anyone without a completed garage. </p></div>

Q: Is a garage door screen worth the investment?

• <div><p>If you plan to only use it occasionally, a DIY fabric screen offers a low-cost option that is simple to put up and take down as needed. It also provides a way to test out how you could continue using the extra space in the future. But if you plan to frequently spend time in the space, investing in a customized, professionally installed garage door screen offers the potential for this unlikely space to become a brand new hub for your household.</p></div>

Q: How do I plan and budget for a garage remodel?

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.
