How long does a paint job on a garage door last?

• <div><p>The life span of a newly painted garage door depends on the quality of your paint, the material of the door, and the climate you live in. If you’re confident that you’ll maintain the door as best you can, you can expect the job to last between 5 and 10 years.</p></div>

Q: Are prefab garages worth it?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s better to build a garage than buy and install a prefabricated one. You can save money by purchasing a prefabricated metal garage kit for between <b>$4,000 and $11,000</b>. However, this does not include the price of labor and permits, which can account for more than half of the project cost. Building a new garage over buying a prefab garage will add more value to your home and will last longer, so it&rsquo;s more cost-effective over time to build a new garage.</p></div>

Q: What adds more value, a garage or extra room?

• <div><p>It depends on a lot of factors, but generally speaking, added living space is more desirable to most buyers, which means an extra room will be more valuable than a traditional garage. The utility of the new space will determine how much ROI you&rsquo;ll see. An additional bedroom will generally be more valuable than a living room or family room, and converting your garage to a bedroom with a bathroom will likely add the most value.</p></div>

Q: Where do you spray garage door lubricant?

• <div><p>You should spray garage door lubricant on its important mechanical parts, including the hinges, rollers, springs, bearing plates, lock, armbar, and, potentially, rail. Do not lube the tracks, though you should clean these regularly for optimal performance. </p></div>

Q: Can I replace my own garage door?

• <div><p>While it&rsquo;s possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-you-should-replace-your-garage-door.htm">replace your own garage door</a>, it&rsquo;s a dangerous DIY job, and the work is best left to professionals. Garage doors can weigh hundreds of pounds and are quite bulky, so maneuvering them into place for installation is a tough job. Additionally, working with high-tension garage door springs is dangerous, especially if you install them incorrectly. The labor for garage door replacement costs around <b>$400</b> on average, which is a small price to pay to guarantee your safety and the security of your home.</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...
