Q: How do you know when your garage door needs to be replaced?

• <div><p>With good maintenance, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-you-should-replace-your-garage-door.htm">garage doors can last</a> for 15 to 30 years. You might consider a replacement if yours is approaching that age and struggling to work properly. For instance, if your garage door is slow to open or close (or doesn&rsquo;t open or close at all) or is loud even after lubricating the parts, you might need a new one. Similarly, if it&rsquo;s sagging, uneven, or has other visual signs of wear and tear, it may be time for an upgrade.</p></div>

Q: Is a garage door screen worth the investment?

• <div><p>If you plan to only use it occasionally, a DIY fabric screen offers a low-cost option that is simple to put up and take down as needed. It also provides a way to test out how you could continue using the extra space in the future. But if you plan to frequently spend time in the space, investing in a customized, professionally installed garage door screen offers the potential for this unlikely space to become a brand new hub for your household.</p></div>

Q: What gap should there be between the garage door and frame?

• <div><p>There should not be any visible gaps between the garage door and frame. If the gap is big enough that you can either see daylight or feel a draft, this indicates a problem. Bring in a garage door professional to help you discover why the gap exists. A pro may also be able to offer suggestions for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-insulate-a-garage.htm">how to insulate a garage</a>. </p></div>

Q: How long does a garage floor sealer last on average?

• <div><p>Garage floor sealers last anywhere from one to 10 years on average, depending on the type of sealer you use and the traffic it&rsquo;s exposed to. Acrylic sealers have the shortest longevity, whereas most other options can last anywhere from five to 10 years. If you use an acrylic sealant to protect against stains, reapply every one to two years. Reapply other types of concrete sealers every five years for the best results and maximum protection.</p></div>

All good, except that during the initial phone call they agreed to replace the weatherstripping on the bottom of one of the doors. The tech who came out to the house declined to do that and told me to do it myself.
