"Repair of exterior patio door. Simple Fix crew was professional, polite, easy to contact, and cleaned up everything at the end of the job. Would definitely recommend and will be contacting them for jobs in the future!!"
"A job wonderfully done. The contractor was super friendly and finished everything right on schedule. He added value to my new home while still meeting my needs as a homeowner. I highly recommend giving this small business a try."
"The work was done quickly, and everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The only delay was waiting for the electric company to do their part. I'm thrilled to have my panels up and running!"
"The service was very professional, good work done in a timely manner, at a decent price. Ive had three different jobs done on two of my properties I was happy with the service every single time. these are my go-to guys, and I would definitely recommend commercial and residential services, to family, friends or anyone in need of remodeling, repairing or touch-up work done."
"The man I talked to was very professional and timely. However, he explained that this particular job was beyond the scope of what their company does. I would certainly use them on another 'issue'. "
"Excellent - I ended up hiring someone to help with shopping and finishing piece - waste of time and money. Jill's service was by far the most useful and best value in my decorating process. "
"My experience was overall phenomenal, the owner was very passionate about his quality and the work he did in our home showed it. His crew was punctual and very professional. I will definitely be a returning customer and I would recommend him to anyone looking for quality work."
"This was a tough job that was accomplished very easily due to experience (40+ years) and vast knowledge of materials. I called 20 people in town and all turned down the job because of their comfort level with cutting into corian eg fracturing and further damages. None of that happened whatsoever here with these experienced professionals. Thanks for delivering on the promises! Will use for more jobs around in the house in the future."
Garage door sensors should be installed on each side of the door, typically six inches off of the ground. The sensors communicate through an infrared beam, so they need to face each other directly for the system to work properly. Make sure they’re level and aligned, and keep the area around them clear. If they’re too high or out of alignment, your garage door won’t function properly.
Installing weather stripping or upgrading to insulated panels can improve efficiency.
If you take caution around fragile garage parts, thawing methods shouldn’t cause problems. Avoid using direct sources of heat too close to the garage door, especially rubber parts.
Another spot to avoid heating is the garage door spring. This powerful metal spring can become very cold in winter. Applying heat to a cold spring increases the chances it could break.
While you can technically use WD-40 to lube a garage door, it is not the best option since the oil it leaves behind can attract dirt. Instead, go to the hardware store and locate a lithium- or silicone- based garage grease. You can also search for garage door lubricant online; just make sure you get one that is made with lithium or silicone.
Costs depend on the size of the garage, material quality, and additional features like lighting or workbenches.
