Do I need to seal a garage floor before painting?

• <div><p>You’ll usually need to prime a garage floor before painting—especially if the floor is unpainted. Garage floors are made from concrete, which is porous and produces dust. The dust can contaminate the paint and cause issues with adherence. </p><p>Primer creates a barrier and gives you a clean surface to work on. It also minimizes absorption to help give you an even, pro-looking paint job. Make sure you choose a primer that’s specifically designed to cover concrete flooring.</p></div>

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: 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: 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: What are the cons of a heated garage?

• <div><p>The main con of a heated garage is that if cold air comes into your garage and hits warm tools, it could lead to rust. You may also have to deal with the slush and run-off from any snow or ice that comes into the garage from vehicles, leading to more maintenance and upkeep.</p></div>

Warriner's Auto & RV Service Garage was real friendly. I did have to take it back for just a little thing but it worked out alright. I did have to take it back right after picking it up and it was fixed in 15 minutes. It was just a little sheet metal problem.

It was EXCELLENT. They were courteous and so hardworking that I had to encourage them to take breaks. They helped us pack up some really disorganized stuff in the garage, too, as well as the last odds and ends in the kitchen. They took great care of our stuff and were very quick.

"We had been needing some repairs on our house for quite some time but after getting several estimates that seemed way overpriced, we gave up trying temporarily. We were discouraged, to say the least, and wondered if we would ever find someone whom we felt we could trustâ ¦ and then we met Brandon. From our very first meeting, Brandon put us at ease. His estimate was reasonable, clear and concise and he never tried to upsell or add to what we wanted. He gave an honest opinion and recommendation of the work to be done, the timeframe, and the cost, along with possible alternatives that would best suit us. The time he spent with us that day and his willingness to listen and answer all our questions made us feel very confident that finally, we had an answer to our prayers! We started out with a fairly small project and after seeing firsthand how Brandon and his crew handled everything, we felt confident to add to our list. During the time it took to complete the job, Brandon was always available to answer any questions we had and proved himself to be trustworthy and a great communicator again and again. Brandon and his crew did everything as promised and took considerable pride in the work being done. They were always respectful and considerate. I cannot say enough about how grateful we were to have met Brandon. He was a true godsend! If youâ re still reading this review, trust me when I say, you will not regret working with this company!"
