Why aren’t sliding garage doors more popular?

• <div><p>Sliding garage doors aren’t popular because when they can be inconvenient—they require you to leave your car—if they’re manual. But, if they’re automatic, they’re much more expensive than a conventional tilting door. Some find the sliding door less aesthetically pleasing than a tilting or barn door. </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>

Are prefabricated garages worth it?

• <div><p>A prefab, or prefabricated garage, requires far less construction work than one with a foundation and frame, but it’s not nearly as desirable and may not be a worthwhile option. A prefabricated garage won’t be as durable or long-lasting, and it doesn’t provide the same protection for your belongings and vehicles. Plus, you can use a standard garage for more uses—like living space—whereas a prefab garage only serves as a space for storage. Lastly, building a traditional garage will add to your home value, while a prefab garage usually won’t.</p></div>

Q: Why aren’t sliding garage doors more popular?

• <div><p>Sliding garage doors aren&rsquo;t popular because when they can be inconvenient&mdash;they require you to leave your car&mdash;if they&rsquo;re manual. But, if they&rsquo;re automatic, they&rsquo;re much more expensive than a conventional tilting door. Some find the sliding door less aesthetically pleasing than a tilting or barn door. </p></div>

Q: What do I do if there's a gap under my garage door?

• <div><p>T here should not be a gap under your garage door. Gaps make your garage less energy efficient. They also allow for pests to enter your garage. If you have a gap under your garage door, you may need to replace the weather stripping, inspect the door, tinker with your garage door opener, or make sure that your floor has not shifted.</p></div>

Q: Are vinyl or steel garage door rollers better?

• <div><p>In addition to being less expensive, nylon garage door rollers are actually much quieter than steel rollers. However, many homeowners find that they wear out prematurely compared to steel. In general, more expensive steel rollers are more durable. However, their nosiness can make them less than ideal for garages that are located beneath a home's bedrooms.</p></div>

Excellent craftsman. Very hard working. Worked from dawn to dusk. Mark custom made thresholds, baseboards and molding to match the design of existing finishes. The door opening was much shorter than most, so he cut the door to fit.

"They were excellent to work with. They listened to my needs and wants and delivered. They also kept me in the loop of the progress being made. When there was a backorder, they gave me another option that was equally as good as the first. I did have to call about a week later because the opener was being temperamental. No issues, they came right out and resolved the issue immediately."
