Q: How can I make my garage door safe?

• <div><p>Garage doors are heavy and close under power, so ensuring they're safe should be one of the priorities of a homeowner. Installing at least one sensor is a good start, but it doesn't hurt to have two, especially considering you can install a secondary system for <b>less than $100</b>. Remember that sensors require calibration and simple but regular maintenance checks&mdash; installing them is only the first step.</p></div>

Q: What do you do if your garage floor is sinking and cracking?

• <div><p>If your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/my-cement-garage-floor-sinking-and-cracking-who-should-i-call.htm">cement garage floor is sinking and cracking</a>, your first step should be to call a local structural engineer to assess the problem. They can determine if it&rsquo;s a minor amount of sinking related to normal settlement or if the issue is structural in nature. If you do have structural damage, the engineer or a foundation repair company that you hire will come up with a plan to fix the issue, which often consists of mudjacking for less severe issues or underpinning for more extensive problems.</p></div>

Q: Can garage doors work with one spring?

• <div><p>With the exception of small, lightweight torsion-spring garage doors, which can operate with one spring, most garage doors require two springs to work properly. Garage doors with extension springs always require two springs&mdash;if one extension spring is broken or otherwise failing, the garage door may open unevenly and could pose a hazard if the remaining spring fails.</p></div>

Q: What part of the garage loses the most heat?

• <div><p>Garage doors that are not insulated can be a major source of heat loss. That&rsquo;s why it&rsquo;s essential to winterize your garage door with insulation and weather stripping to prevent heat loss and keep it warm more easily. Consult a local garage door installer if you need help determining the cause of your garage losing heat.</p></div>

Q: How do I keep my garage from freezing?

• <div><p>You can prevent your garage from freezing by applying techniques like sprinkling salt onto the garage floor, installing a garage heater, shoveling snow outside the door, and more. Additional methods of preventing your garage from freezing over is to seal all potential air gaps, replace weatherstripping, and adding insulation to the surrounding walls to keep the heat from escaping.</p></div>

"Mr. Hargrove was extremely prompt and professional when first contacted to make a bid. His initial evaluation was thorough and his bid well itemized. There was additional damage found as wood from affected areas were removed, his team reported it immediately and the bid was adjusted accordingly. Mr. Hargrove was very intentional and deliberate about keeping in constant contact with us and all the monetary adjustments were very reasonable.
His team was very responsive to questions and observations as the work was being done. Extra care was also taken to clean up after the work was completed. Though Mr. Hargrove was very professional in every other way, it would have been easier for us if they accepted major credit cards. Overall, we would whole-heartedly recommend Hargrove's Home Improvement and we thank Mr. Hargrove and his team for an extremely difficult job well done.
