Can you manually open the garage door?

• <div><p>If push comes to shove, and you need to manually open your garage door, then you should be able to do so. To manually open your garage door, first, make sure that the door is in the down position. You’ll need to unlock your garage door opener’s emergency release mechanism, which is typically a red robe that you can find on the carriage. Once you’ve pulled the cord, you can manually lower the door.</p><p>If your garage door is stuck in an open position, consider contacting a professional to safely release the opener.</p></div>

What does a garage tune-up include?

• <div><p>During a garage door tune-up, a pro will check and adjust your door’s components, looking for any damage and loose cables, springs, or rollers. The pro will also lubricate moving parts, like the hinges and rollers, and likely tighten some screws and bolts. They’ll also adjust the door opener’s tension and alignment to make sure it’s level. Finally, they’ll wash the door to ensure it’s clean, and test the auto-reverse mechanism to make sure it’s working as it should.</p></div>

Q: Are vinyl or steel garage door rollers better?

• <div><p>In addition to being less expensive, nylon garage door rollers are actually much quieter than steel rollers. However, many homeowners find that they wear out prematurely compared to steel. In general, more expensive steel rollers are more durable. However, their nosiness can make them less than ideal for garages that are located beneath a home's bedrooms.</p></div>

Q: Can garage doors work with one spring?

• <div><p>With the exception of small, lightweight torsion-spring garage doors, which can operate with one spring, most garage doors require two springs to work properly. Garage doors with extension springs always require two springs&mdash;if one extension spring is broken or otherwise failing, the garage door may open unevenly and could pose a hazard if the remaining spring fails.</p></div>

Q: Can my detached garage be covered by my homeowners' insurance?

• <div><p>Your homeowners' insurance should automatically cover your detached garage. This coverage often falls under a &ldquo;separate structure&rdquo; policy. Keep in mind that there may be exceptions to this general rule. Every insurance policy has its own rules and coverage, so contact your homeowners' insurance to ensure you&rsquo;re covered&mdash;and to know how much coverage your policy offers.</p></div>

DO NOT USE this provider for snow removal! Absolutely horrible. FIRST, they unilaterally raised the agreed-upon price with no warning?$35 per plowing became $45. SECOND, they just ran the plow up the driveway and then left--so I could come out to find as much as EIGHT FEET of unplowed snow right...
