Is it a good idea to insulate the garage door?

• <div><p>Without a doubt, insulating a garage door is a surefire way to make your home more energy efficient.

So, homeowners who reside in extremely cold climates can especially benefit from insulating their garages.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a garage door opener?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t need a garage door opener unless you need or desire the convenience they offer. While you may be able to open some garage doors manually, having a garage door opener makes life a lot easier. There is an exception, though&mdash;a motorized opener is an absolute must if you have a two-car garage (or larger), as the door will be too heavy for the average person to lift on their own.</p></div>

Q: Do I need to prime a metal garage door before painting?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually a good idea to use a metal primer before painting a metal garage door, and, even if you do, you&rsquo;ll need a paint that&rsquo;s specifically designed to coat metal for the best results. Metal primer helps create a good surface for the paint to stick to your metal garage door, and it will help prevent bubbling, chipping, and peeling after it dries. It&rsquo;s a bit more expensive to prime your door before painting, but it&rsquo;s usually worthwhile, as the paint will last longer.</p></div>

Q: What is the best type of flooring for a garage?

• <div><p>With so many vastly different options to choose from, how can you find an inexpensive garage floor that you can also confidently say is the best? The right solution will be different for everyone and truly depends on your individual needs and stylistic tastes.</p><p>If you&rsquo;re working with a smaller budget, a low-cost coating such as paint, sealer, or stain might be the best way to express your style in the garage. If you need a high-performance surface that can handle the tough projects and maintenance you do in the garage, or if you want a wide range of colorful customization options, flexible tiles might be for you.</p></div>

Q: Will a 20x20 garage fit 2 cars?

• <div><p>The smallest size a standard 2-car garage can be is 20 feet by 20 feet, so at these dimensions, you could reasonably expect to fit two cars inside. However, it&rsquo;s going to be a tight fit, especially if you have larger SUVs or pickup trucks. For smaller cars, 20 x 20 should be plenty for parking and some space to maneuver around the cars. A larger garage size would be better to ensure you have room to open the doors and transport groceries or other items around the cars.</p></div>

He offered to repair the garage door by installing a brace. It works well now, although I may have to get a new door.

the garage door (not the powered opener) was binding and generally not working as it should. They corrected all the problems with that door and then went on to the other door to make sure it, too, was working properly. Nice fellow, very helpful. Would definitely use again.
