"Quite well. When I realized the bird wires were not quite right afterwards, they sent a team out to re-do them. Here an hour, now better bird-proofed than ever. Cook did earlier work for me: a tricky, almost impossible modification of counter and cabinet that ended perfectly. On all of these messy projects, the workers kept the yard and kitchen amazingly clean."

"I purchased a mechanical awning from Awnings by Design 15 years ago. Unfortunately they have since gone out of business. One of our 2 awnings extended too far, the arms fully extended and could not retract. I did not know who I could call for assistance. We went on Angis list and Fernando from A to Z Shades contacted me about the work. I qualified him over the phone and he cited 12 years experience working on mechanical awnings. He said almost 100% it was a broken limit switch on the motor and it needed to be replaced. He provided an estimate over the phone. Fernando and associate came to our house on time and prepared with ladders and tools. He is very polite and trustworthy. They installed the new motor and tested the system. It worked just as promised. They cleaned up after doing their work. As a bonus they noticed a non automated shade was crooked. He recommended we let it sit in the sun to increase the kink. I would recommend Fernando for awnings and shade projects or repairs. Dan A."

"Mike from Smart Home was very professional . He set up my home camera network cleanly. He showed me how to use the camera app on my phone. He advised how to best set the locations. So glad I went with them. I recommend them for camera security system installs."
"Used Angie’s list special offer which worked out well. Arrived on time did the work as described. Additional lock rekey was reasonable cost. Would use again"
The ideal temperature for your garage in the winter is between 40 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Maintaining a minimum temperature of at least 40 to 50 degrees is crucial to prevent pipes, liquids, and other items from freezing. Low temperatures can also drain your car battery, so keeping the garage stable is vital for your vehicle. While the lower end of the range protects your belongings, the higher end is based on your personal preference for a comfortable space. If you struggle to keep the temperature from dropping below 40 degrees, consider installing a garage heater.
While you can technically use WD-40 to lube a garage door, it is not the best option since the oil it leaves behind can attract dirt. Instead, go to the hardware store and locate a lithium- or silicone- based garage grease. You can also search for garage door lubricant online; just make sure you get one that is made with lithium or silicone.
Garage door freezing is prompted by snowfall and freeze/thaw cycles instead of the temperature. If you get a lot of moisture around the garage door, whether from rain or melting snow, and temperatures quickly drop below freezing (32 degrees Fahrenheit) at night, that’s a recipe for a frozen garage door. Winters with steep temperature drops overnight are more likely to create this problem, especially low temperatures to sustain a freeze, so weather in the lower 20s is a common culprit.
It can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or two to clean out a garage. Times vary depending on the garage size, accessibility, and the amount and type of items that need sorting and lifting. A triple-car garage full of decades of clutter will take much longer to clear than a single garage with just a few unwanted bulky items.
The smallest size a standard 2-car garage can be is 20 feet by 20 feet, so at these dimensions, you could reasonably expect to fit two cars inside. However, it’s going to be a tight fit, especially if you have larger SUVs or pickup trucks. For smaller cars, 20 x 20 should be plenty for parking and some space to maneuver around the cars. A larger garage size would be better to ensure you have room to open the doors and transport groceries or other items around the cars.
