What is the alternative to glass garage doors?

• <div><p>Plexiglass garage doors are a durable and less expensive alternative to garage doors, and they maintain a similar aesthetic. Other elegant <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garage-door-types.htm">types of garage doors</a> include carriage house garage doors and stylish wooden garage doors, but these don’t offer the same look as glass, of course. </p></div>

Q: What is the best type of wood for overhead garage storage?

• <div><p>We recommend plywood and solid wood. Particleboard and MDF (medium-density fiberboard) are often too weak to hold significant loads, and could sag or deform under pressure. Plywood or solid wood are meant to last, and can handle the weight of several large items. If you want to spend a little more for a moisture-resistant material, you can consider using steel.</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: Do I need a garage door opener?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t need a garage door opener unless you need or desire the convenience they offer. While you may be able to open some garage doors manually, having a garage door opener makes life a lot easier. There is an exception, though&mdash;a motorized opener is an absolute must if you have a two-car garage (or larger), as the door will be too heavy for the average person to lift on their own.</p></div>

Q: What are the dangers of using budget garage flooring products?

• <div><p>As with anything you buy, be wary of prices that seem too good to be true. Some low-cost flooring products can contain chemicals that release harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the form of fumes that can be inhaled or dust that can cause skin conditions.</p><p>Even good-quality products can be dangerous for DIY-ers who don&rsquo;t take proper precautions. Always carefully read manufacturer instructions and wear the recommended protective gear when working with paints and other chemicals. You can also hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/garage-floor-coatings/">local garage flooring pro</a> with the experience and equipment needed to perform the installation safely with no lingering fumes or debris.</p></div>

Chose Whitaker Builders, as they have been in the community for a long time and have a great reputation for their work. David and Lenae Whitaker did an excellent job scheduling and overseeing the sub-contractors during the construction. Problems were handled in a professional manner, and their...

Due in part to weather (rain) the garage was completed almost 2 1/2 weeks later than planned. We also lost time due to the excavators blowing out a garage wall by putting too much pressure on the wall with a dump truck full of dirt by backing the truck into the foundation. The framers were...

Excellent to do business with. Punctuality was only delayed because Garage door was out of stock. Price of competitor was cheaper but Better Bilts price was a fair one especially with their quality. Also, the cheaper company said that they would not clean up the area after construction. Better...

Excellent. You will not get the quality this person gives anywhere else. He has subsequently done jobs for others that I know that they were equally happy with his work.

I thought the work they did turned out great. The workers who came out were really nice and I knew I could depend on them. Their pricing was reasonable as well and that s the reason why I'm using them again. I would highly recommend them to others in our area.
