"I am extremely happy with my gutter replacement! I contacted Illinois Gutter Solutions online after hours requesting a quote for gutter replacement, downspout replacement, and the addition of gutter guard on my house and detached garage. I was contacted the next morning by a member of their team and someone was out to my house to do an estimate within the next 48 hours. They provided an easy to read estimate and answered all my questions! After committing to the job, they were at my house tearing down and replacing my gutters within 3 weeks. The gentlemen who did the work walked me through the process and explained everything in detail. They were extremely personable and took the time to introduce themselves to my dogs! They finished the job in about 6 hours and cleaned up everything like they weren’t even there! The gentlemen took the time after they were done to also walk me and my boyfriend through the work and answer any other remaining questions I might have had. The payment process was also super easy and seamless. I am very happy with their work and I highly recommend them!"

"When looking to install my opener, I went to the box store first to shop. I found the opener I wanted and debated installing myself. After looking at instructions and the estimated 6-8 hour install (seemed high to me...), I wanted to see how much a pro would cost. The box stores had recommendations and they said 2-4 hours. Jim from nation serve called me within minutes of my inquiry and gave me an estimate on the spot. Yes, he was more expensive than the box stores, but he helped me find value in paying extra. He explained that their rail was a single piece instead of 5 like the box store versions and how a multi piece affects longevity (and helps install time!). He and his teams specialize in the doors unlike the box store installers that are general installers. Their team would go the extra mile to make sure my door was working correctly and even lubricated the door, rails, hinges when they were out. Bottom line: yes they were more expensive but I recommend them to others. Jim was great to deal with and was responsive. Knowing I have an opener installer who stands behind their work is worth the piece of mind for me. In addition, they installer was done in 45 minutes! Great work team. I'm sending my dad your way as we speak."

Garage Doors questions, answered by experts

The best paint for a garage door depends on the door's material, the desired finish, and durability requirements.

Paint Type

The type of paint you need often depends on the material of your garage door:

  • Aluminum Doors: Typically require exterior acrylic paint.

  • Vinyl and Wood Doors: Exterior latex paint is usually recommended.

  • Steel Doors: Professionals often use latex or oil-based paint.

You can choose between acrylic, oil-based, and latex paints. Acrylic paint offers excellent UV and weather resistance and dries quickly, but may require multiple coats. Oil-based paints are very durable and may only need one coat, but they dry slowly and emit more VOCs. Latex paint is available in a wide range of colors and is forgiving to apply, but it can crack over time and may require a primer for even coverage. For an eco-friendly option, consider acrylic latex paint.

Paint Finish

You have a wide variety of finishes to choose from, including semi-gloss, gloss, satin, eggshell, and matte. The choice is largely based on personal preference, but many people opt for a semi-gloss or gloss finish. These finishes dry to a hard, durable surface that stands up well to humidity and regular wear and tear.

Regardless of the type or finish, it's crucial to use a quality exterior paint that can withstand the elements. Using a primer before painting will ensure better adhesion and a more even, long-lasting result.

The best way to maintain a garage door and avoid issues is to hire someone to do a garage door tune-up, check the remote opener, and service the main system components, like the springs, chains, and track. Schedule maintenance service once every two years for $100 to $200. You can also DIY garage door maintenance, like washing and waxing the door and applying lubricant to hinges and rollers regularly.

Indoor propane heaters are safe to use in a garage. You may be able to use an outdoor propane heater inside a garage in some instances, as long as the garage door remains open and there’s constant airflow to allow the carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to escape. Other garage heaters include electric heaters and gas heaters.

Yes, a single garage door with an 8-foot width is considered standard. This will be the size needed if you are upgrading a garage door in nearly any standard-sized residential garage. If you are building a garage from scratch that you intend to use for parking a large truck, SUV, or RV, you can consider extending the width to 10 feet to make parking easier.

There are many signs that your garage door needs to be replaced, including: Visual signs of wear and tear Garage is slow to open and close or won’t open or close at all Jerky motions while operating Loose tracks or broken or worn rollers Uneven garage door when open or closed Sagging garage door Noisy operation even after lubricating the moving parts Broken or loose cords Higher energy bills, which could mean poor sealing or insulation
