How long does a paint job on a garage door last?

• <div><p>The life span of a newly painted garage door depends on the quality of your paint, the material of the door, and the climate you live in. If you’re confident that you’ll maintain the door as best you can, you can expect the job to last between 5 and 10 years.</p></div>

At what temperature do garage doors freeze?

• <div><p>Garage door freezing is prompted by snowfall and freeze/thaw cycles instead of the temperature. If you get a lot of moisture around the garage door, whether from rain or melting snow, and temperatures quickly drop below freezing (32 degrees Fahrenheit) at night, that’s a recipe for a frozen garage door. Winters with steep temperature drops overnight are more likely to create this problem, especially low temperatures to sustain a freeze, so weather in the lower 20s is a common culprit.</p></div>

Q: How do you burglar-proof a garage door?

• <div><p>Always lock the door that separates your garage and your home. However, garage doors are seldom entrance points for thieves. It takes quite a bit of work and noise to pry open a garage door, so thieves often opt for windows or unlocked doors. Unless they have access to the motor which controls the door, as long as it's functioning properly you shouldn't worry too much about it.</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: What is the best type of wood for overhead garage storage?

• <div><p>We recommend plywood and solid wood. Particleboard and MDF (medium-density fiberboard) are often too weak to hold significant loads, and could sag or deform under pressure. Plywood or solid wood are meant to last, and can handle the weight of several large items. If you want to spend a little more for a moisture-resistant material, you can consider using steel.</p></div>
