Does a garage count toward square footage?

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

How much does a new garage door cost?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-garage-door-installation.htm">Garage door replacement costs</a> around <b>$1,200</b> on average, with prices ranging from <b>$250 to $4,500</b>, depending on a few factors. The size and material of your garage door are the most important cost factors to consider, as some materials—like wood composite—can easily cost two to three times what an aluminum garage door would total. Larger garage doors will also drive up your material and labor costs, especially if you’re also installing new hardware and garage door openers. It’s best to get a customized estimate from a local garage door installer for your project.</p></div>

Q: Is one or two garage doors better?

• <div><p>Single and double garage doors have pros and cons, but it's all based on personal preference regarding which one is better for you. Two single garage doors give you more control over airflow entering your garage but double the system, which means double the upkeep cost. </p><p>On the other hand, two-car double garage doors are more convenient but can stop you from leaving if a piece of hardware malfunctions.</p></div>

Q: Is it safe to install a pet door on my garage door?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/are-pet-doors-your-garage-door-safe.htm">not safe to install a pet door on your garage door</a>. Garage doors that tilt upward can roll up with your dog inside the door without you realizing it, making them dangerous and potentially deadly. Most dog doors also won&rsquo;t fit on traditional garage doors, as they would need to span the panels, compromising the door&rsquo;s stability.</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>
