Get matched with top garage pros in Forest, OH

Q: What is the best material for building a garage?

• <div><p>Wood, steel, fiberglass, and aluminum are among the top building materials for a garage. Wood is highly customizable, naturally insulative, and durable in mild climates but can be expensive. Steel is lightweight, low-maintenance, and cost-effective, but it&rsquo;s susceptible to rust. Fiberglass is low-maintenance and doesn&rsquo;t shrink or expand in changing temperatures, but it can become brittle and crack from prolonged high winds and sun exposure. </p><p>Unlike steel, aluminum isn&rsquo;t susceptible to rust and is low-maintenance, but its ultra-light weight makes it less durable than some materials, and it&rsquo;s susceptible to saltwater damage, making it a poor choice for coastal homes.</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>

Q: How often should I lubricate my garage door?

• <div><p>You should lube your garage door components every three to six months depending on how frequently you open and close the door. Lubricant helps keep garage door components operating smoothly for longer; you can expect a much longer lifespan out of a garage door when you properly care for it, including frequent lubrication. Regular maintenance is much more affordable than the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garage-door-replacement-cost.htm">cost of replacing a garage door</a> prematurely. </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: How do you burglar-proof a garage door?

• <div><p>Always lock the door that separates your garage and your home. However, garage doors are seldom entrance points for thieves. It takes quite a bit of work and noise to pry open a garage door, so thieves often opt for windows or unlocked doors. Unless they have access to the motor which controls the door, as long as it's functioning properly you shouldn't worry too much about it.</p></div>

Doug and his crew done a fantastic job of putting me in a new driveway. They were fast and efficient laying the asphalt and sealing the rest of my parking space. They cleaned everything up after it was done and it was done professionally. I highly recommend Doug Robinson.

Anthony discussed all plans in advance, didn’t change plans or move ahead w/ a couple of things that came to light once the actual work started without talking to us first. He is very pleasant and easy to work with. I have a couple of other jobs that will head his way once we get them going. I will hire them again. No question."
