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: 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>

Q: What is the difference between a carriage house and a garage?

• <div><p>A carriage house combines garage or storage space with living space, usually in two stories, while a garage generally does not offer any living space. Carriage houses are built with plumbing, insulation, and heating and cooling systems, which are usually features not found in traditional garages. Building codes and insurance requirements greatly differ between the two types of structures, and may make it difficult to convert a garage to a carriage house.</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 often should garage doors be serviced professionally?

• <div><p>Annually, to check for wear, lubricate parts, and ensure safe operation.</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!

It went very well. They masked off the garage walls and concrete sidewalks to prevent over-spray. They put up a barrier to keep vehicles off the driveway. This is a family operated business and I have dealt with them in the past. They are very professional and extremely honest to deal with. ...
