Do you need drywall over insulation in a garage?

• <div><p>You do not need to drywall over most types of garage insulation. However, doing so can increase noise reduction, make the space more attractive, and keep children and pets from touching harmful fiberglass insulation. If you’re using cellulose or some other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/blown-in-insulation.htm">type of blown-in insulation</a> (fiberglass and mineral wool are common), you will need drywall to contain the insulation material.</p></div>

How do I choose a garage door installer?

• <div><p>When searching for the best pro to complete this project for you, here are a few steps you can take:</p><ul><li><p>Get multiple quotes</p></li><li><p>Ask about their qualifications</p></li><li><p>Ask to see and verify their license and insurance</p></li><li><p>Get recommendations from your family and friends</p></li><li><p>Read reviews</p></li></ul><p>Besides vetting your future pro, you also want to watch out for these red flags:</p><ul><li><p>Rushing you to sign the contract</p></li><li><p>The installer does not listen to your wants and needs</p></li><li><p>Excessively high or low quotes</p></li><li><p>No written, detailed estimate</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

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’s not nearly as desirable and may not be a worthwhile option. A prefabricated garage won’t be as durable or long-lasting, and it doesn’t provide the same protection for your belongings and vehicles. Plus, you can use a standard garage for more uses—like living space—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’t.</p></div>

Q: What’s the best way to maintain a garage door?

• <div><p>The best way to maintain a garage door and avoid issues is to hire someone to do a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/does-my-garage-door-need-annual-tune.htm">garage door tune-up,</a> check the remote opener, and service the main system components, like the springs, chains, and track. Schedule maintenance service once every two years for $100 to $200. You can also <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-garage-door-maintenance.htm">DIY garage door maintenance,</a> like washing and waxing the door and applying lubricant to hinges and rollers regularly.</p></div>

Q: How can I stop a garage door from freezing shut?

• <div><p>If your garage door seems to freeze every winter, you can try rubbing silicone spray or petroleum jelly around the edges and rollers of the garage door. However, it&rsquo;s a good idea to avoid direct application of silicone sprays like WD40 to rubber edges, which could damage them over time. A garage door that frequently freezes shut could need a full replacement, especially if it&rsquo;s showing signs of rust or other wear and tear. </p></div>
