Q: How do garage door sensors work?

• <div><p>Garage door sensors work by using infrared beams to detect objects in the door&rsquo;s path. One sensor sends a beam while the other receives it. When the beam is broken&mdash;say, by your car or anything else&mdash;the sensors signal the door to stop or reverse. It&rsquo;s all about safety and making sure nothing gets trapped under the door. If they&rsquo;re misaligned, the beam doesn&rsquo;t connect, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-does-garage-door-opener-work.htm">the garage door might stay open</a> or close regardless of obstructions. </p></div>

Q: What's the difference between a garage and a carport?

• <div><p>Garages are often equipped with lighting, electrical boxes, and sometimes even heating and cooling, while carports rarely have utilities. A garage is an enclosed structure that can lock and usually has an automatic door. A carport is often wood or plastic and is designed only to protect a car from elements like rain, snow, and hail. Carports are commonly seen on property where an attached garage is unfeasible but can be a cost-effective solution for car protection for anyone without a completed 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: How do I find a garage door that’s right for me?

• <div><p>There are various companies and garage doors to fit your needs. So, here are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tips-buying-new-garage-door.htm">tips for buying a garage door</a> for you and your family:</p><ul><li><p>Figure out and stick to your budget</p></li><li><p>Go over each garage door material and how it relates to your climate and needs</p></li><li><p>Determine if you want an insulated garage door</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Does the type of garage door affect the insulation?

• <div><p>The level of insulation is determined by both the material and the thickness of the door. Some garage door materials (such as wood) have natural insulating capabilities, while other materials (such as metal) do not. No matter the material, two-layer and three-layer garage doors have a higher R-value than single-layer garage doors, as insulation is fitted between the panels. </p></div>

Showed up expecting to paint the whole house after I described the job as garage door only. Then ghosted, no estimate, no response. Glade I didn't hire them. Very unprofessional.

It went very well. The service technician, Andy "Wooly" Clem, arrived on time, was very professional and explained the operation of the new garage door opener thoroughly. He also lubricated the rails and adjusted the remote in my car to the new opener. I would highly recommend Andy.

They are absolutely fantastic. It is a family owned business. On a Sunday at about five before it was going to rain, I ran into my garage door. The original door was not high quality. I used the garage door opener to get the door open to back out my car. It took the door off the hinges...
