Should I install my own garage door opener?

• <div><p>We recommend hiring a garage door professional to install a garage door opener for you. Garage door openers aren’t terribly complex, but setting them up properly, setting the lift and drop speed, and installing sensors that work correctly can take a few hours for a DIYer. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-garage-door-opener-cost.htm">cost to install a garage door opener</a> is around <b>$400</b>, and it will save you a lot of time and frustration. Garage professionals have the skills and equipment necessary to work with potentially dangerous garage door components, like springs.</p></div>

Q: How can I make my garage door safe?

• <div><p>Garage doors are heavy and close under power, so ensuring they're safe should be one of the priorities of a homeowner. Installing at least one sensor is a good start, but it doesn't hurt to have two, especially considering you can install a secondary system for <b>less than $100</b>. Remember that sensors require calibration and simple but regular maintenance checks&mdash; installing them is only the first step.</p></div>

Q: Should a garage door be lighter or darker than the house?

• <div><p>The color you choose for your garage door is up to personal preference, but you can opt for several design options when choosing the color. Look for a complementary color to that of your home or choose a monochromatic look by selecting the same color as the rest of the exterior in a different shade.</p></div>

Q: What are the dangers of using budget garage flooring products?

• <div><p>As with anything you buy, be wary of prices that seem too good to be true. Some low-cost flooring products can contain chemicals that release harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the form of fumes that can be inhaled or dust that can cause skin conditions.</p><p>Even good-quality products can be dangerous for DIY-ers who don&rsquo;t take proper precautions. Always carefully read manufacturer instructions and wear the recommended protective gear when working with paints and other chemicals. You can also hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/garage-floor-coatings/">local garage flooring pro</a> with the experience and equipment needed to perform the installation safely with no lingering fumes or debris.</p></div>

Q: How do I stop cold air from coming under my garage door?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s best to prevent cold air from entering your garage through the space underneath the garage door. Stop cold air in its tracks by adding or replacing the weatherstripping underneath the door seal. You can also add weatherstripping along the sides and top of the garage door to prevent air leakage, and it&rsquo;s a relatively easy DIY fix.</p></div>

Very community service oriented. Flexible on ballpark estimate without seeing actual items to haul. High school kids who help load dumpster are supervised and very courteous. Greatly appreciated their urgency as we had a tight timeline to clean out a garage of 45 years of accumulated junk.
