Q: What gap should there be between the garage door and frame?

• <div><p>There should not be any visible gaps between the garage door and frame. If the gap is big enough that you can either see daylight or feel a draft, this indicates a problem. Bring in a garage door professional to help you discover why the gap exists. A pro may also be able to offer suggestions for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-insulate-a-garage.htm">how to insulate a garage</a>. </p></div>

Q: How do I protect my garage door from burglars?

• <div><p>If you also have a standard door leading to your garage, install a robust deadbolt lock and reinforce the frame with security plates. Then, secure any windows with shatterproof glass or film to deter break-ins. Consider a smart garage door opener for your car entrance, enabling remote monitoring and control through your smartphone. Motion-activated lighting around the garage to deter intruders is a great way to amplify these security efforts. Lastly, educate your family on security practices, such as keeping the garage entrances closed and locked.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep my garage from freezing?

• <div><p>You can prevent your garage from freezing by applying techniques like sprinkling salt onto the garage floor, installing a garage heater, shoveling snow outside the door, and more. Additional methods of preventing your garage from freezing over is to seal all potential air gaps, replace weatherstripping, and adding insulation to the surrounding walls to keep the heat from escaping.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to paint a garage floor with a roller or brush?

• <div><p>When you&rsquo;re painting a garage floor, it&rsquo;s best to use a combination of rollers and brushes. You&rsquo;ll want to start with a brush, making a border around the edges where the floor meets the wall. From there you can use a roller, though some people also like to do the entire first coat with a brush because it&rsquo;s easier to work the paint into the textured concrete.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to prime a metal garage door before painting?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually a good idea to use a metal primer before painting a metal garage door, and, even if you do, you&rsquo;ll need a paint that&rsquo;s specifically designed to coat metal for the best results. Metal primer helps create a good surface for the paint to stick to your metal garage door, and it will help prevent bubbling, chipping, and peeling after it dries. It&rsquo;s a bit more expensive to prime your door before painting, but it&rsquo;s usually worthwhile, as the paint will last longer.</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.
