Q: 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&rsquo;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 long after painting can you open the garage door?

• <div><p>You should let your initial paint job dry at least 12 hours before opening the door. Check your work after 12 hours have passed to confirm there are no uneven patches, or signs of the old paint showing though&mdash;if you see any, we recommend applying a second coat of paint and waiting an additional 12 hours for it to dry. </p></div>

Q: Is it worth it to insulate a garage?

• <div><p>Insulating a detached garage won't reduce your home's heating or cooling bills&mdash;and insulating an attached garage will only have a small effect on your home's energy efficiency. However, insulating an attached garage can reduce the transfer of heating and cooling to and from the outdoors, which can reduce the amount of energy your home needs to stay comfortable. Also, having an insulated garage is just more pleasant. Balance the cost of insulating your garage with how you'll use the space to determine if the project is worth it.</p></div>

Q: Are garage door springs dangerous?

• <div><p>Since garage door torsion springs have tightly wound coils under massive tension, they can cause serious injury while attempting to service them. A broken spring can also cause the garage to close rapidly, causing injuries. That&rsquo;s why any adjustments or replacements of a torsion spring should only be conducted by a trained professional.</p><p>Extension springs are just as dangerous as torsion springs&mdash;especially when they break. These springs can become projectiles and may cause serious injury or property damage.</p></div>

Q: Where is most heat lost in a garage?

• <div><p>Most heat in a garage is lost through air leaks in windows, doors, and walls. This is especially true if the walls are uninsulated, which is common in garages. Consider insulating your garage before installing a garage heater to ensure the heat it generates isn&rsquo;t wasted, making it less efficient.</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 !!!!"
