What can I do about a gap under my garage door?

• <div><p>If you have a gap under your garage door, it may be caused by an uneven garage floor. Repairing the concrete under the floor may level out the surface enough to fix gaps. You can also <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/replace-garage-door-weather-stripping.htm">replace the garage door weather stripping</a> or adjust the closing position of the door to see if that remedies your issue. Otherwise, call a garage door repair specialist to inspect the door.</p></div>

Q: Can I use WD-40 on a garage door?

• <div><p>While you can technically use WD-40 to lube a garage door, it is not the best option since the oil it leaves behind can attract dirt. Instead, go to the hardware store and locate a lithium- or silicone- based garage grease. You can also search for garage door lubricant online; just make sure you get one that is made with lithium or silicone. </p></div>

Q: Is painting a garage floor a good idea?

• <div><p>There are many benefits to painting a garage floor, especially if you use an <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/epoxy-coating-transforms-boring-flooring.htm">epoxy floor coating</a>. In general, paint makes your garage easier to clean. Since concrete is porous, it tends to absorb things like dirt, grime, mildew, oil, and grease. Paint&mdash;specifically epoxy-based paint&mdash;creates a barrier that helps you easily mop up the mess before it stains or is difficult to remove. </p></div>

Q: Can I use a torch to melt the ice in front of my garage door?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s possible to use a torch to melt ice on your garage door, but we don&rsquo;t recommend it. It&rsquo;s very easy to bring the flame too close to the door, which can melt the weather stripping or even the garage door itself. You&rsquo;ll melt ice quickly with a torch, but the damage you&rsquo;re likely to cause can end up costing you a few hundred dollars to fix, which isn&rsquo;t worth it. Instead, we recommend pouring hot water over the frozen area or using a less intense heat source, like a hair dryer or space heater.</p></div>

Q: Does a garage add value to your property?

• <div><p>Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn&rsquo;t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance. </p></div>
