What can I do about a gap under my garage door?

• <div><p>If you have a gap under your garage door, it may be caused by an uneven garage floor. Repairing the concrete under the floor may level out the surface enough to fix gaps. You can also <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/replace-garage-door-weather-stripping.htm">replace the garage door weather stripping</a> or adjust the closing position of the door to see if that remedies your issue. Otherwise, call a garage door repair specialist to inspect the door.</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 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>

Q: What adds more value, a garage or extra room?

• <div><p>It depends on a lot of factors, but generally speaking, added living space is more desirable to most buyers, which means an extra room will be more valuable than a traditional garage. The utility of the new space will determine how much ROI you&rsquo;ll see. An additional bedroom will generally be more valuable than a living room or family room, and converting your garage to a bedroom with a bathroom will likely add the most value.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint does a garage door need?

• <div><p>The paint type your garage door needs depends on the door's material. Aluminum garage doors generally require exterior acrylic paint, while vinyl and wood doors usually call for exterior latex paint. Pros typically recommend latex and oil-based paint for steel doors. Acrylic latex paint is a great option if you need something that&rsquo;s kid and pet-friendly as well as eco-friendly.</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.

Had them do two jobs in the past 2 months. Excellent on both. Installed a smart door lock and fixed a nuisance screen door in one trip, later came back and installed new drainage pipe. Always available, very flexible, and patient. And of course the work is top-notch.

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....
