Q: How often should you clean your garage?

• <div><p>How often you clean your garage depends on what you do in there and its overall level of disarray. You should clean the garage once every season, though some experts say every month. Decluttering and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-deep-clean-house.htm">deep-cleaning</a> once a year is enough for garages used primarily for storage, but if you do car maintenance or other hands-on project in the space, you&rsquo;ll need to clean more frequently. </p></div>

Q: What are the dangers of using budget garage flooring products?

• <div><p>As with anything you buy, be wary of prices that seem too good to be true. Some low-cost flooring products can contain chemicals that release harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) in the form of fumes that can be inhaled or dust that can cause skin conditions.</p><p>Even good-quality products can be dangerous for DIY-ers who don&rsquo;t take proper precautions. Always carefully read manufacturer instructions and wear the recommended protective gear when working with paints and other chemicals. You can also hire a <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/garage-floor-coatings/">local garage flooring pro</a> with the experience and equipment needed to perform the installation safely with no lingering fumes or debris.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to prime a metal garage door before painting?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually a good idea to use a metal primer before painting a metal garage door, and, even if you do, you&rsquo;ll need a paint that&rsquo;s specifically designed to coat metal for the best results. Metal primer helps create a good surface for the paint to stick to your metal garage door, and it will help prevent bubbling, chipping, and peeling after it dries. It&rsquo;s a bit more expensive to prime your door before painting, but it&rsquo;s usually worthwhile, as the paint will last longer.</p></div>

Q: How long will a garage door last?

• <div><p>How long garage doors last depends on the type of doors you buy and how well you care for them. But most often, garage doors will last between 15 and 30 years, on average. You can maximize their life span by performing regular maintenance and inspections and repairing problems immediately. A more robust material, like triple-layer steel garage doors, may even last 25 to 30 years with proper care.</p></div>

Q: Are prefabricated garages worth it?

• <div><p>A prefab, or prefabricated garage, requires far less construction work than one with a foundation and frame, but it&rsquo;s not nearly as desirable and may not be a worthwhile option. A prefabricated garage won&rsquo;t be as durable or long-lasting, and it doesn&rsquo;t provide the same protection for your belongings and vehicles. Plus, you can use a standard garage for more uses&mdash;like living space&mdash;whereas a prefab garage only serves as a space for storage. Lastly, building a traditional garage will add to your home value, while a prefab garage usually won&rsquo;t.</p></div>

Eddy and Louie are great! Very personable, respectful, knowledgeable and reliable. They cleaned up after themselves and actually left the garage floor in better shape than when they arrived. Very quick - 3 1/2 hours to install 2 garage doors and 2 openers. Highly recommended!
