Should I install my own garage door opener?

• <div><p>We recommend hiring a garage door professional to install a garage door opener for you. Garage door openers aren’t terribly complex, but setting them up properly, setting the lift and drop speed, and installing sensors that work correctly can take a few hours for a DIYer. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-garage-door-opener-cost.htm">cost to install a garage door opener</a> is around <b>$400</b>, and it will save you a lot of time and frustration. Garage professionals have the skills and equipment necessary to work with potentially dangerous garage door components, like springs.</p></div>

Q: Is an 8-foot garage door wide enough?

• <div><p>Yes, a single garage door with an 8-foot width is considered standard. This will be the size needed if you are upgrading a garage door in nearly any standard-sized residential garage. If you are building a garage from scratch that you intend to use for parking a large truck, SUV, or RV, you can consider extending the width to 10 feet to make parking easier.</p></div>

Q: Are insulated garage doors worth it?

• <div><p>An insulated garage door is a great long-term investment if it&rsquo;s within your budget. They save energy and give the door year-round usability. In other words, the door pays for itself after a few nasty winters. Most modern garage doors already have a fair amount of insulation, so look into those options if you don&rsquo;t feel comfortable splurging.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to clean out a garage?

• <div><p>It can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or two to clean out a garage. Times vary depending on the garage size, accessibility, and the amount and type of items that need sorting and lifting. A triple-car garage full of decades of clutter will take much longer to clear than a single garage with just a few unwanted bulky items.</p></div>

Q: What do you do if your garage floor is sinking and cracking?

• <div><p>If your <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/my-cement-garage-floor-sinking-and-cracking-who-should-i-call.htm">cement garage floor is sinking and cracking</a>, your first step should be to call a local structural engineer to assess the problem. They can determine if it&rsquo;s a minor amount of sinking related to normal settlement or if the issue is structural in nature. If you do have structural damage, the engineer or a foundation repair company that you hire will come up with a plan to fix the issue, which often consists of mudjacking for less severe issues or underpinning for more extensive problems.</p></div>
