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: Does a garage count toward square footage?

• <div><p>A garage only counts toward the official square footage of a house if it&rsquo;s livable. The exact legal requirements for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/is-garage-considered-living-space.htm">what&rsquo;s considered living space</a> can vary by location, but heating and ventilation are often required for it to be counted. If the garage is converted into an extra room, it may count toward the total square footage. </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>

Q: Do you need drywall over insulation in a garage?

• <div><p>You do not need to drywall over most types of garage insulation. However, doing so can increase noise reduction, make the space more attractive, and keep children and pets from touching harmful fiberglass insulation. If you&rsquo;re using cellulose or some other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/blown-in-insulation.htm">type of blown-in insulation</a> (fiberglass and mineral wool are common), you will need drywall to contain the insulation material.</p></div>

Q: How do you know when your garage door needs to be replaced?

• <div><p>With good maintenance, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-you-should-replace-your-garage-door.htm">garage doors can last</a> for 15 to 30 years. You might consider a replacement if yours is approaching that age and struggling to work properly. For instance, if your garage door is slow to open or close (or doesn&rsquo;t open or close at all) or is loud even after lubricating the parts, you might need a new one. Similarly, if it&rsquo;s sagging, uneven, or has other visual signs of wear and tear, it may be time for an upgrade.</p></div>

"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."
