Q: What is the best material for garage cabinets?

• <div><p>Garage cabinets are different from interior cabinets because they typically hold heavier tools and face more extreme temperature changes since they&rsquo;re outside your heating and cooling system. For that reason, many homeowners opt for heavy-duty cabinet materials, like metal or steel. However, wood cabinets also work well in a garage for storing lighter items like garden supplies, protective gear, and small tools.</p></div>

Q: How long do garage doors last?

• <div><p>Garage doors generally last between <b>15 to 30 years</b>, depending on many factors. Your location plays an essential role in your garage door&rsquo;s lifespan&mdash;doors exposed to harsh elements like heavy rain or intense heat might not last as long as those installed in a milder climate. How often you use your garage door also factors into its overall lifespan. Generally, standard garage door springs can withstand 20,000 cycles, whereas tension springs typically last between 5,000 and 10,000.</p></div>

Q: How does a garage affect the value of my home?

• <div><p>Having a garage can increase the value of your home considerably, even if the garage isn't considered living space. Many people own cars and want a secure place to park their vehicles when they are home. </p><p>If you decide to finish your garage and convert it into living space, you may affect your home's value. The livable space may increase your home's square footage, which can help its value. But, giving up the garage space may also negatively affect the sale price of your home.</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>

Q: What is the average lifespan of a garage door?

• <div><p>The average garage door is meant to last for at least 15 to 30 years.
