Q: Why aren’t sliding garage doors more popular?

• <div><p>Sliding garage doors aren&rsquo;t popular because when they can be inconvenient&mdash;they require you to leave your car&mdash;if they&rsquo;re manual. But, if they&rsquo;re automatic, they&rsquo;re much more expensive than a conventional tilting door. Some find the sliding door less aesthetically pleasing than a tilting or barn door. </p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use for garage doors?

• <div><p>You have a few options of <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/best-garage-door-paint.htm">paint for garage doors</a>. Acrylic paint offers excellent UV- and weatherproof resistance, easily adheres to surfaces, and dries quickly. However, it has limited color options available and requires multiple coats. Oil-based paints last long, are easy to apply, and may only need one coat, but dry slowly and emit more VOCs. Latex offers superior color reflection, available in a wide range of colors, and it&rsquo;s highly forgiving. However, latex can crack and peel over time and may need a primer for even coverage.</p></div>

Q: Where do you start with garage remodels?

• <div><p>The first place you start with any garage remodel, regardless of the project, is with repairs. You want a stable foundation to avoid problems from arising down the road. Once any necessary repairs are addressed, you&rsquo;ll want to move on to layout changes, like installing new walls, running new electric, plumbing, and HVAC to the space, if required, and then finishing work.</p></div>

Q: How can I open the garage door when the power is out?

• <div><p>There are three ways to open the garage door when the power is out. One is to invest in a solar panel and battery system or generator backup power. Another method is to use the quick-release key to disconnect the garage door from the garage door opener. You can also use the key to your house to wait out the power outage and reset the garage door opener once the power returns.</p><p>If your garage door key is inside your home and you don&rsquo;t have a spare key on hand to access your entry points, then <a href="https://www.angi.com/companylist/locksmiths.htm">call a locksmith</a>.</p></div>

Q: Are garage heaters worth it?

• <div><p>If you enjoy tinkering with cars, woodworking, or exercising in your garage, then a garage heater may be worth it to you. If your garage is used mainly for storage, you may opt to skip installing a garage heater. If you live somewhere with favorable weather year-round, you can probably go without one as well. But for most homeowners, a garage heater is a good investment and makes the garage a more comfortable place to spend time.</p></div>

Installation on new construction went fine. Our sheetrock guy put a screw through one of the wires, and Priority Alert came out and put in a wireless connection for the door at no charge. This was 4 years ago, and they maintain the monitoring. Excellent job there also.

A lot of stains did not come up & after the cleaners left I realized that their hose that they used throughout the house damaged the door moldings! I will have to have them sanded & repainted. Amanda
