What is the best material for building a garage?

• <div><p>Wood, steel, fiberglass, and aluminum are among the top building materials for a garage. Wood is highly customizable, naturally insulative, and durable in mild climates but can be expensive. Steel is lightweight, low-maintenance, and cost-effective, but it’s susceptible to rust. Fiberglass is low-maintenance and doesn’t shrink or expand in changing temperatures, but it can become brittle and crack from prolonged high winds and sun exposure. </p><p>Unlike steel, aluminum isn’t susceptible to rust and is low-maintenance, but its ultra-light weight makes it less durable than some materials, and it’s susceptible to saltwater damage, making it a poor choice for coastal homes.</p></div>

Q: How long does garage door insulation last?

• <div><p>Garage door <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-long-does-a-house-last.htm">insulation can last</a> anywhere from 20 to 100 years depending on the type of insulation. Cellulose has the shortest lifespan coming in at between 20 and 30 years, while spray foam, mineral wool, and fiberglass can last between 80 and 100 years with proper maintenance. </p><p>Humidity plays a role in how long more susceptible insulation materials&mdash;like fiberglass&mdash;last. Once fiberglass batts reach the 15-year mark, you'll need to routinely inspect your insulation to ensure that it is in mint order.</p></div>

Q: How many square feet is an average two-car garage?

• <div><p>An <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/2-car-garage-size.htm">average two-car garage size</a> is about 580 square feet. A common dimension for a two-car garage is 24-feet deep by 24-feet wide, as measured by the interior width. However, the manufacturing of larger vehicle sizes means many homeowners want to build bigger garages. It&rsquo;s not uncommon for a two-car garage to be 30-feet by 30-feet.</p></div>

Q: Can my detached garage be covered by my homeowners' insurance?

• <div><p>Your homeowners' insurance should automatically cover your detached garage. This coverage often falls under a &ldquo;separate structure&rdquo; policy. Keep in mind that there may be exceptions to this general rule. Every insurance policy has its own rules and coverage, so contact your homeowners' insurance to ensure you&rsquo;re covered&mdash;and to know how much coverage your policy offers.</p></div>

Q: Are there downsides to garage screens?

• <div><p>While the benefits of garage door screens usually outweigh the downsides, there are some cons to installing one. First off, they can be quite expensive, especially if you&rsquo;re having a professional install a retracting screen or a custom size screen. Second, they let fresh air and natural light in, but they also don&rsquo;t provide the same privacy from people in the neighborhood that a solid door does. As you might guess, screens also won&rsquo;t <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-insulate-a-garage.htm">insulate your garage</a>, so they&rsquo;re often not usable in colder weather.</p></div>

Had him come in and run some new wiring and outlets for my garage. Got it done in a timely manner and it looks better now than it ever did. He also figured out why my lights above my bar wouldn't turn all 3 on at the same time and fixed that in a few minutes!
