Q: How long do garage doors last?

• <div><p>Garage doors generally last between <b>15 to 30 years</b>, depending on many factors. Your location plays an essential role in your garage door&rsquo;s lifespan&mdash;doors exposed to harsh elements like heavy rain or intense heat might not last as long as those installed in a milder climate. How often you use your garage door also factors into its overall lifespan. Generally, standard garage door springs can withstand 20,000 cycles, whereas tension springs typically last between 5,000 and 10,000.</p></div>

Q: What is the best type of wood for overhead garage storage?

• <div><p>We recommend plywood and solid wood. Particleboard and MDF (medium-density fiberboard) are often too weak to hold significant loads, and could sag or deform under pressure. Plywood or solid wood are meant to last, and can handle the weight of several large items. If you want to spend a little more for a moisture-resistant material, you can consider using steel.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to clean out a garage?

• <div><p>It can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or two to clean out a garage. Times vary depending on the garage size, accessibility, and the amount and type of items that need sorting and lifting. A triple-car garage full of decades of clutter will take much longer to clear than a single garage with just a few unwanted bulky items.</p></div>

Q: Can you manually open a garage door?

• <div><p>It is possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-open-garage-door-manually.htm">manually open a garage door</a>. However, whether you should manually open a garage door depends on the source of the problem. If the door doesn't open because of a broken spring or cable, for safety's sake, you'll want to leave the door closed until you can have a professional inspect it and repair it. If the problem lies with the opener itself, you should usually have no problem opening the door manually.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take a painter to paint a garage door?

• <div><p>While it depends on door condition, the painter&rsquo;s level of expertise, and weather conditions, it&rsquo;s safe to set aside two to three days to complete this project, especially if you anticipate adding multiple coats of paint, which can take eight to 12 hours to dry. Your professional should be able to provide an estimate for the project timeline.</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...
