"Matt, his team, and network of suppliers are top notch! Professional, fair, honest, talented and kept our house as clean as possible. No small feat during a demo. Even helped us move some very heavy furniture. Something they didn't have to do. Our new kitchen is gorgeous & everything we dreamed of! Highly recommend. See before and after photos."

"We had a great experience with F and D. We contacted him about remodeling a kitchen and doing some other work. He came when scheduled to do an estimate, was very thorough and knowledgeable, provided suggestions to make the project better. He reached out while researching materials with questions and provided us options and gave us the quote quickly. He was very reasonable, did a thorough job, completed the project as promised and in the time promised. We also ended up having him do the kitchen, some flooring, install lights and ceiling fans and paint. We would absolutely recommend!"

"I started by grouping a lot of small projects together (shed door sticking, upper level roof gutter cleaning, garage floor drain replacement, replacing door frame with termite and brick molding damage, deck railing). No job was too small. Because of his quality workmanship, I did not hesitate to call him after a sump pump failure caused a finish basement to be flooded. He made sure that he was on site when the insurance adjuster arrived. It made the whole process more complete, and he was able to answer the adjuster's questions better than I could have."

"THESE GUYS ARE AMAZING! Our new porch looks perfect!!!! They got back to us very quickly, and after we agreed on the project spec's amd pricing they got right to work. Our old porch was down and our new one was up in just a little over a week. They were even able to repair our leaky side roof! These guys were friendly, professional and very neat. They also offered us financing options which was to have. I would recommend these guys to anyone looking to have some home improvements done! We will totally be using them again!!!"

"Brandon, the owner of Checkmark Property Solutions, contacted me within 30 minutes of my inquiry, even on a Sunday. I viewed his reviews and website. All was very positive. So to try and keep this in perspective, I have multiple rental properties and this is the first time I used Checkmark. For sure, without any question, I will use Brandon and his team in the future. His quote was in-line to what was requested; his timing was exactly what I wanted and the project lasted as long as he stated. He also checked in with me (I am not local to the project) with some suggestions and thoughts on where I could save $$ and where I should go possibly a different route. Trust me on this, his workmanship is very, very professional. Lastly, he was clean and neat. You will not be disappointed! Dan C."

Garages FAQs, answered by experts

Garage door sensors should be installed on each side of the door, typically six inches off of the ground. The sensors communicate through an infrared beam, so they need to face each other directly for the system to work properly. Make sure they’re level and aligned, and keep the area around them clear. If they’re too high or out of alignment, your garage door won’t function properly.

The best options for lubricating a garage door are silicone- or lithium-based lubricants made specifically for this purpose. These products are designed to deeply penetrate the door's components, such as hinges and springs, providing long-lasting protection against wear and tear. A silicone-based lubricant is an excellent choice as it also prevents rust and corrosion and performs well in extreme heat and cold.

It is important to avoid certain products. Do not use heavy, oil-based lubricants or standard grease, as they can attract dust, dirt, and other debris that may get caught in the tracks. You should also avoid using WD-40, as it can strip away any existing lubrication.

You can typically find appropriate garage door lubricants online or at a local hardware store for less than $10.

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.

On average, a garage door can last between 15 and 30 years. However, this lifespan is influenced by several factors, including the quality and material of the door, local climate conditions, and how frequently it is used and maintained.

Key factors affecting longevity include:

  • Material: Wooden doors can last 20 to 30 years or more, while steel doors typically last 15 to 20 years. More robust options, like triple-layer steel, can last 25 to 30 years with proper care. The number of layers in a door also contributes to its durability, with each additional layer potentially adding five years to its life.

  • Maintenance: Regular inspections, cleaning, and immediate repairs can significantly extend the life of your garage door.

  • Usage and Climate: Doors in harsh climates or those used very frequently may wear out faster.

  • Components: Individual parts have different lifespans. For example, automatic openers may fail sooner than the door itself without regular maintenance, and garage door springs typically need replacement every 7 to 12 years.

While the door panels are designed to last as long as the door, they should be replaced sooner if they become visibly damaged, impact the door's smooth operation, or create a security risk.

It’s possible to use a torch to melt ice on your garage door, but we don’t recommend it. It’s very easy to bring the flame too close to the door, which can melt the weather stripping or even the garage door itself. You’ll melt ice quickly with a torch, but the damage you’re likely to cause can end up costing you a few hundred dollars to fix, which isn’t worth it. Instead, we recommend pouring hot water over the frozen area or using a less intense heat source, like a hair dryer or space heater.
