Q: Which adds more value to a home: a garage or an extra room?

• <div><p>The decision on whether a garage or an extra room adds more value depends on several factors, including local market demand, location, and buyer preferences. Generally, added living space is more desirable to most buyers, and the utility of the new space determines its return on investment (ROI). Converting a garage into a livable area like a home office, guest room, or entertainment space can add significant value. An additional bedroom, especially one with a bathroom, will likely add the most value. However, adding a garage may be more valuable in areas with limited parking or harsh climates.</p></div>

Q: What are the alternatives to a driveway gate?

• <div><p>A traditional driveway gate isn&rsquo;t your only option when installing a barricade in front of your driveway. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-security-gates.htm">security gate</a> like a swing gate, double swing gate, bi-folding gate, vertical gate, or pivot gate could work just as well as your driveway gate&mdash;if not better for your home depending on which qualities you&rsquo;re after. Like sliding driveway gates, many of these alternatives work with automatic features that simplify entering and exiting your property.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to seal a garage floor before painting?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll usually need to prime a garage floor before painting&mdash;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&rsquo;s specifically designed to cover concrete flooring.</p></div>

Q: Where should garage door sensors be located?

• <div><p>Garage door sensors should be installed on each side of the door, typically six inches off of the ground. The sensors communicate through an infrared beam, so they need to face each other directly for the system to work properly. Make sure they&rsquo;re level and aligned, and keep the area around them clear. If they&rsquo;re too high or out of alignment, your garage door won&rsquo;t function properly. </p></div>

Q: Can you manually open the garage door?

• <div><p>If push comes to shove, and you need to manually open your garage door, then you should be able to do so. To manually open your garage door, first, make sure that the door is in the down position. You&rsquo;ll need to unlock your garage door opener&rsquo;s emergency release mechanism, which is typically a red robe that you can find on the carriage. Once you&rsquo;ve pulled the cord, you can manually lower the door.</p><p>If your garage door is stuck in an open position, consider contacting a professional to safely release the opener.</p></div>

"I feel extremely fortunate to have found Vicki through Angie's List ! She is an extremely talented person who is very easy to deal with. She has a breath of knowledge that allows her to accommodate my tastes, but also ensure that the overall design is in sync with the design and location of my home. She has a very diplomatic way of suggesting when I'm going astray with my choices and in every case where she has told me "Trust Me" I have been delighted ! She is very aggressive in helping me find the best pricing and often times will work with the vendors directly hence saving me the time. She also has excellent local contacts. Everyone I've worked with through Vicki has been timely, professional, and highly competent.
My project is far from complete. I intend to continue to use Vicki and her expert advice until the end !!!!"
