Garages questions, answered by experts

If push comes to shove, and you need to manually open your garage door, then you should be able to do so. To manually open your garage door, first, make sure that the door is in the down position. You’ll need to unlock your garage door opener’s emergency release mechanism, which is typically a red robe that you can find on the carriage. Once you’ve pulled the cord, you can manually lower the door.

If your garage door is stuck in an open position, consider contacting a professional to safely release the opener.

We recommend hiring a garage door professional to install a garage door opener for you.

The cost to install a garage door opener is around $400, and it will save you a lot of time and frustration. Garage professionals have the skills and equipment necessary to work with potentially dangerous garage door components, like springs.

Yes, you can pressure wash epoxy garage floors. Most epoxy floors can be cleaned with a mop, but you may choose to pressure wash your floor if it is stained, has ground-in dirt, or is covered with mold or mildew. Before pressure washing, soak stains and dirty areas with a gentle cleanser for best results. Then use a pressure washer tip angled at 45 degrees and raise the spray nozzle to at least 18 inches off the floor to protect the flooring surface. You can also use a surface cleaner power washer or rotary scrubber to prevent overspray.
