Q: Do you need planning permission to change a garage door to a normal door?

• <div><p>In most cases, you do not need planning permission to change a garage door to a normal door, unless a specific restriction is present on your home&rsquo;s deed. If you&rsquo;re changing the door because you are trying to convert the garage into a living space, you will need to work with building control for proper signoffs to ensure your conversion meets all of the necessary construction standards. </p></div>

Q: Can you put regular cabinets in the garage?

• <div><p>Most cabinetry made for a garage will have special coatings and finishes built to withstand extreme heat and cold, moisture, pest damage, rusting, and dry rot. However, many homeowners have put their old kitchen cabinets in the garage, added a couple of fresh coats of paint, and use them for a while without too much wear and tear. </p></div>

Q: What does a garage tune-up include?

• <div><p>During a garage door tune-up, a pro will check and adjust your door&rsquo;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&rsquo;ll also adjust the door opener&rsquo;s tension and alignment to make sure it&rsquo;s level. Finally, they&rsquo;ll wash the door to ensure it&rsquo;s clean, and test the auto-reverse mechanism to make sure it&rsquo;s working as it should.</p></div>

Q: How long do garage door seals last?

• <div><p>You can expect your seal to last anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Several factors affect this&mdash;material, frequency of use, and the weather. For example, seals made from high-quality rubber are built to withstand the elements and can go the distance with a little TLC. If your door sees a lot of action or faces extreme heat or cold, the seal could wear out more quickly. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-garage-door-maintenance.htm">Regular maintenance</a>&mdash;like cleaning and lubrication&mdash;can make your seal last longer. And while it&rsquo;s rare, a professionally installed seal on a smooth floor can potentially last up to 10 years.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to seal a garage floor before painting?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll usually need to prime a garage floor before painting&mdash;especially if the floor is unpainted. Garage floors are made from concrete, which is porous and produces dust. The dust can contaminate the paint and cause issues with adherence. </p><p>Primer creates a barrier and gives you a clean surface to work on. It also minimizes absorption to help give you an even, pro-looking paint job. Make sure you choose a primer that&rsquo;s specifically designed to cover concrete flooring.</p></div>

Garages questions, answered by experts

In most cases, you do not need planning permission to change a garage door to a normal door, unless a specific restriction is present on your home’s deed. If you’re changing the door because you are trying to convert the garage into a living space, you will need to work with building control for proper signoffs to ensure your conversion meets all of the necessary construction standards.

Most cabinetry made for a garage will have special coatings and finishes built to withstand extreme heat and cold, moisture, pest damage, rusting, and dry rot. However, many homeowners have put their old kitchen cabinets in the garage, added a couple of fresh coats of paint, and use them for a while without too much wear and tear.

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.

You can expect your seal to last anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Several factors affect this—material, frequency of use, and the weather. For example, seals made from high-quality rubber are built to withstand the elements and can go the distance with a little TLC. If your door sees a lot of action or faces extreme heat or cold, the seal could wear out more quickly. Regular maintenance—like cleaning and lubrication—can make your seal last longer. And while it’s rare, a professionally installed seal on a smooth floor can potentially last up to 10 years.

You’ll usually need to prime a garage floor before painting—especially if the floor is unpainted. Garage floors are made from concrete, which is porous and produces dust. The dust can contaminate the paint and cause issues with adherence.

Primer creates a barrier and gives you a clean surface to work on. It also minimizes absorption to help give you an even, pro-looking paint job. Make sure you choose a primer that’s specifically designed to cover concrete flooring.
