Q: Why do my garage door cables keep coming off?

• <div><p>There are several reasons garage door cables can come off multiple times. The most common reason is that the springs have too much or too little tension and require adjusting. Other causes include track alignment issues that keep the door from operating correctly or smoothly. A damaged winding drum or obstructions in the cable's way can also cause it to come loose. </p></div>

Q: Can I use a torch to melt the ice in front of my garage door?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to use a torch to melt ice on your garage door, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. It&rsquo;s very easy to bring the flame too close to the door, which can melt the weather stripping or even the garage door itself. You&rsquo;ll melt ice quickly with a torch, but the damage you&rsquo;re likely to cause can end up costing you a few hundred dollars to fix, which isn&rsquo;t worth it. Instead, we recommend pouring hot water over the frozen area or using a less intense heat source, like a hair dryer or space heater.</p></div>

"Josh and Katie worked very well with us through the whole process. They did a full remodel of our kitchen and it came out very nice. The people he has working for him were professional and very clean with their work. The granite guys even notified our neighbor because they were going to be cutting granite and their window was open. Very happy with the overall process of the work. Would recommend to my friends."
