Why aren’t sliding garage doors more popular?

• <div><p>Sliding garage doors aren’t popular because when they can be inconvenient—they require you to leave your car—if they’re manual. But, if they’re automatic, they’re much more expensive than a conventional tilting door. Some find the sliding door less aesthetically pleasing than a tilting or barn door. </p></div>

How do I know what garage door to buy?

• <div><p>When choosing a garage door, start by considering your budget, the weather in your area, and how the door will complement your home’s look. If you’re not sure where to begin, call a local garage door company. They’ll help you figure out what matters, guide you through options, and take care of the installation.</p></div>

Q: Are vinyl or steel garage door rollers better?

• <div><p>In addition to being less expensive, nylon garage door rollers are actually much quieter than steel rollers. However, many homeowners find that they wear out prematurely compared to steel. In general, more expensive steel rollers are more durable. However, their nosiness can make them less than ideal for garages that are located beneath a home's bedrooms.</p></div>

Q: Why aren’t sliding garage doors more popular?

• <div><p>Sliding garage doors aren&rsquo;t popular because when they can be inconvenient&mdash;they require you to leave your car&mdash;if they&rsquo;re manual. But, if they&rsquo;re automatic, they&rsquo;re much more expensive than a conventional tilting door. Some find the sliding door less aesthetically pleasing than a tilting or barn door. </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: What temperature should my garage be in the winter?

• <div><p>When you aren&rsquo;t in the garage, it&rsquo;s best to maintain the temperature between 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit at all times. This temperature regulation can prevent pipes, liquids, and other items from freezing. Plus, freezing temperatures drain your car battery, so keeping your garage at a stable temperature is vital.</p></div>

The crew from Morrison's removed 2-3 layers of old shingles from both our house and our garage. These shingles had been installed by the previous owners probably 15-20 years ago, and there were some unorthodox methods used to lay and/or attach some of the shingles to the roof. The Morrison's...
