Why aren’t sliding garage doors more popular?

• <div><p>Sliding garage doors aren’t popular because when they can be inconvenient—they require you to leave your car—if they’re manual. But, if they’re automatic, they’re much more expensive than a conventional tilting door. Some find the sliding door less aesthetically pleasing than a tilting or barn door. </p></div>

Q: Is it safe to install a pet door on my garage door?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/are-pet-doors-your-garage-door-safe.htm">not safe to install a pet door on your garage door</a>. Garage doors that tilt upward can roll up with your dog inside the door without you realizing it, making them dangerous and potentially deadly. Most dog doors also won&rsquo;t fit on traditional garage doors, as they would need to span the panels, compromising the door&rsquo;s stability.</p></div>

Q: What’s an ideal temperature for my garage during the winter?

• <div><p>While the ideal temperature for your garage is partially based on your preferences for a comfortable garage space, you'll still want to maintain a temperature between 40 degrees and 68 degrees Fahrenheit to protect your belongings and vehicles. If you are unable to maintain temperatures that fall within this range, then you may want to consider installing a heater in your garage to prevent temperatures from dropping below 40 degrees.</p></div>

Q: Why hire a professional to build a garage?

• <div><p>Ensures adherence to local building codes and customized designs to fit personal needs.</p></div>

Q: How long does a garage door last?

• <div><p>It's not uncommon for a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/why-you-should-replace-your-garage-door.htm">garage door to last</a> 15 to 30 years. Of course, you shouldn't rule out replacing a visibly damaged or compromised door just because it's on the newer side. If a garage door was recently damaged by a car, replacement may be the best option for getting ahead of the issue before rot and rust kick in. Other telltale signs that it's time to look into replacing your garage door include visible sagging, cracking, rot, and damaged wood.</p></div>

They came in examined my garage door and told me the best way they could fix it and quoted me a price. The repairmen were very curious and knowledgeable. I had them repair the door but I think they were too expensive. They said when I called them if they did the job they would take the 30...

I called in to ask for service. They had a technician out early the next morning. He didn’t have the part at the time but returned when he did. The office staff and technician were very helpful and professional. I’ll certainly be using them for all future garage door needs.

Excellent! Our house was built 50 years ago and this company built the new garage with a style and materials that made the new construction look as if it had been built when the house was. They took time to build a quality structure with no short cuts. We are VERY pleased!

They were quick to respond. Ruined 2 hedges by dropping old material over side of garage. When I inspected the job there was black roof tar all along my WHITE siding. They removed the tar with some chemical and it also damaged the siding.

Colborns was great. They understood my cocern about not having a car for work, and they took care of it. Not too many garages would have been concerned and they probably would have charged more. Colborns was fair and courteous.

They did a very good job. They were on time, and finished the job in one day. I think their price was fair, because we got a really nice door, and it works really well. They were able to give us a discount, which was nice. They made us aware of the sale that was going on for the better door....
