Q: Does a garage ceiling need a vapor barrier?

• <div><p>A garage ceiling needs a vapor barrier if it&rsquo;s a heated garage or if you&rsquo;re installing insulation in the ceiling. Without a vapor barrier, you risk moisture issues and mold growth. If you have an unheated garage and don&rsquo;t plan on installing insulation that could get wet and harbor mold, the ceiling doesn't need a vapor barrier. </p></div>

Q: How much do new garage door installations cost?

• <div><p>Most homeowners pay an average of $1,200 for everything involved in garage door installation. While garage door repairs average about $250, installing a new door altogether can be a much pricier project. Prices range anywhere from $200 to $2,600 depending on the style, material, and labor required for installation. </p></div>

Q: What do you do if your garage floor is sinking and cracking?

• <div><p>If your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/my-cement-garage-floor-sinking-and-cracking-who-should-i-call.htm">cement garage floor is sinking and cracking</a>, your first step should be to call a local structural engineer to assess the problem. They can determine if it&rsquo;s a minor amount of sinking related to normal settlement or if the issue is structural in nature. If you do have structural damage, the engineer or a foundation repair company that you hire will come up with a plan to fix the issue, which often consists of mudjacking for less severe issues or underpinning for more extensive problems.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs that your garage door needs replacement?

• <div><p>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&rsquo;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</p></div>

WORST Inspection EVER!!! The guy literally told us (in front of the homeowners) that there were only three things that he found. A window in the garage (we'd likely never use) needed the spring fixed to ensure it stayed open, the hand rail on the deck was too big to consider "graspable", and the...

We took down the vent hood & put it in the garage for painting. The workman came at the precise time we'd agreed upon. We had put Kraft paper under the hood to protect the floor, but he was careful enough to lay down even more. There was absolutely NO mess & the hood looks like new. After...
