Do you need drywall over insulation in a garage?

• <div><p>You do not need to drywall over most types of garage insulation. However, doing so can increase noise reduction, make the space more attractive, and keep children and pets from touching harmful fiberglass insulation. If you’re using cellulose or some other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/blown-in-insulation.htm">type of blown-in insulation</a> (fiberglass and mineral wool are common), you will need drywall to contain the insulation material.</p></div>

Do I have to have sensors on my garage door?

• <div><p>If you <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-open-garage-door-manually.htm">open your garage manually</a>, you don’t need sensors. If you have an automatic garage door opener, sensors are required by law. The <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2018/07/13/2018-14909/safety-standard-for-automatic-residential-garage-door-operators">federal law UL 325</a> mandates that all residential garage door openers in the U.S. must include sensors. Designed to prevent accidents and reduce the risk of entrapment, the sensors should be able to reverse the motion of the garage door within two seconds of detecting an obstruction. The sensors are there to keep you, your family, and your belongings safe from a door that might otherwise come down too hard or too fast. </p></div>

Q: What is a garage door panel?

• <div><p>A garage door panel is a section of the garage door that spans the width of the door and connects to other panels above and/or below to create a folding door. The panels usually each have rollers on the sides that fit into the tracks and direct the sectioned door to open and close while remaining in balance.</p></div>

Q: How do I prevent my garage door from freezing?

• <div><p>The best way to prevent your garage door from freezing is to install a permanent source of heat in the garage. You can have a professional tie in your main heating system or install a ductless mini split as a standalone heating solution. You can also <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-insulate-a-garage.htm">insulate the garage</a> to prevent temperatures from dropping to the point that the door freezes shut. </p></div>

Q: What’s an ideal temperature for my garage during the winter?

• <div><p>While the ideal temperature for your garage is partially based on your preferences for a comfortable garage space, you'll still want to maintain a temperature between 40 degrees and 68 degrees Fahrenheit to protect your belongings and vehicles. If you are unable to maintain temperatures that fall within this range, then you may want to consider installing a heater in your garage to prevent temperatures from dropping below 40 degrees.</p></div>

They did an excellent job. They took care not to get any of the sealer on my garage siding and door. The work crew edged around the perimeter of the driveway and applied sealer to the sides sloping towards the grass. Overall I would recommend this company to my family.
