Are prefabricated garages worth it?

• <div><p>A prefab, or prefabricated garage, requires far less construction work than one with a foundation and frame, but it’s not nearly as desirable and may not be a worthwhile option. A prefabricated garage won’t be as durable or long-lasting, and it doesn’t provide the same protection for your belongings and vehicles. Plus, you can use a standard garage for more uses—like living space—whereas a prefab garage only serves as a space for storage. Lastly, building a traditional garage will add to your home value, while a prefab garage usually won’t.</p></div>

Q: Can you manually open a garage door?

• <div><p>It is possible to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-open-garage-door-manually.htm">manually open a garage door</a>. However, whether you should manually open a garage door depends on the source of the problem. If the door doesn't open because of a broken spring or cable, for safety's sake, you'll want to leave the door closed until you can have a professional inspect it and repair it. If the problem lies with the opener itself, you should usually have no problem opening the door manually.</p></div>

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: How do different aspects of a garage influence installation expenses?

• <div><p>Costs depend on the size of the garage, material quality, and additional features like lighting or workbenches.</p></div>

Q: Should I drywall my garage?

• <div><p>Drywalling a garage is a smart decision if you want to protect your garage from fires, moisture damage, and exterior noise. Most garages have flammable supplies that could result in serious damage in the off chance of an accident. Drywall is fire resistant, helping to prevent fires from spreading. Not to mention, drywall can improve the appearance of a dingy, old garage.</p></div>
