Q: What adds more value, a garage or extra room?

• <div><p>It depends on a lot of factors, but generally speaking, added living space is more desirable to most buyers, which means an extra room will be more valuable than a traditional garage. The utility of the new space will determine how much ROI you&rsquo;ll see. An additional bedroom will generally be more valuable than a living room or family room, and converting your garage to a bedroom with a bathroom will likely add the most value.</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: Should there be a gap under the garage door?

• <div><p>No, there should not be a gap between the garage door and the floor. This gap can allow rodents and insects to infest your home. It also creates an entryway for rain and melted snow that can damage your home's foundation or cause mold issues. Finally, leaving a gap will increase your energy bills by allowing heat to escape more easily. If you're looking for something more airy, consider one of the many <a href="https://angi.com/articles/garage-door-alternatives.htm">garage door alternatives</a>.</p></div>

Q: How can I open the garage door when the power is out?

• <div><p>There are three ways to open the garage door when the power is out. One is to invest in a solar panel and battery system or generator backup power. Another method is to use the quick-release key to disconnect the garage door from the garage door opener. You can also use the key to your house to wait out the power outage and reset the garage door opener once the power returns.</p><p>If your garage door key is inside your home and you don&rsquo;t have a spare key on hand to access your entry points, then <a href="https://www.angi.com/companylist/locksmiths.htm">call a locksmith</a>.</p></div>

Q: Can you pressure wash epoxy garage floors?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pressure wash epoxy garage floors. Most epoxy floors can be cleaned with a mop, but you may choose to pressure wash your floor if it is stained, has ground-in dirt, or is covered with mold or mildew. Before pressure washing, soak stains and dirty areas with a gentle cleanser for best results. Then use a pressure washer tip angled at 45 degrees and raise the spray nozzle to at least 18 inches off the floor to protect the flooring surface. You can also use a surface cleaner power washer or rotary scrubber to prevent overspray. </p></div>
