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. If the garage is converted into an extra room, it may count toward the total square footage. </p></div>

Q: Is an 8-foot garage door wide enough?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Can garage doors work with one spring?

• <div><p>With the exception of small, lightweight torsion-spring garage doors, which can operate with one spring, most garage doors require two springs to work properly. Garage doors with extension springs always require two springs&mdash;if one extension spring is broken or otherwise failing, the garage door may open unevenly and could pose a hazard if the remaining spring fails.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use for garage doors?

• <div><p>You have a few options of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-garage-door-paint.htm">paint for garage doors</a>. Acrylic paint offers excellent UV- and weatherproof resistance, easily adheres to surfaces, and dries quickly. However, it has limited color options available and requires multiple coats. Oil-based paints last long, are easy to apply, and may only need one coat, but dry slowly and emit more VOCs. Latex offers superior color reflection, available in a wide range of colors, and it&rsquo;s highly forgiving. However, latex can crack and peel over time and may need a primer for even coverage.</p></div>

Q: What’s an ideal temperature for my garage during the winter?

• <div><p>While the ideal temperature for your garage is partially based on your preferences for a comfortable garage space, you'll still want to maintain a temperature between 40 degrees and 68 degrees Fahrenheit to protect your belongings and vehicles. If you are unable to maintain temperatures that fall within this range, then you may want to consider installing a heater in your garage to prevent temperatures from dropping below 40 degrees.</p></div>

Overall experience is VERY UNSATISFACORY. The owner/operator "lady" was very unprofessional. When we initially contacted them for our garage door repair, she was very prompt. We paid advance for parts and very told 2 weeks. 4 weeks and 3 phone calls later, there was no promptness or...
