Q: Are there energy efficiency upgrades available during garage door repair?

• <div><p>Installing weather stripping or upgrading to insulated panels can improve efficiency.</p></div>

Q: Is a garage considered living space?

• <div><p>In some cases, a detached garage can be considered extra living space, but you will need to gain permission and comply with your local building code. Depending on where you live, you may need permits for a variety of installations, including electrical work, plumbing, and structural work. Many homeowners make the mistake of converting a garage into a living space without acquiring permits, which can result in hefty fines and even the removal of your hard work. Furthermore, a detached garage doesn&rsquo;t add to the livable square footage of your home when it&rsquo;s time to sell.</p></div>

Q: How often should garage doors be serviced professionally?

• <div><p>Annually, to check for wear, lubricate parts, and ensure safe operation.</p></div>

Q: What’s an ideal temperature for my garage during the winter?

• <div><p>While the ideal temperature for your garage is partially based on your preferences for a comfortable garage space, you'll still want to maintain a temperature between 40 degrees and 68 degrees Fahrenheit to protect your belongings and vehicles. If you are unable to maintain temperatures that fall within this range, then you may want to consider installing a heater in your garage to prevent temperatures from dropping below 40 degrees.</p></div>
