Do I need to seal a garage floor before painting?

• <div><p>You’ll usually need to prime a garage floor before painting—especially if the floor is unpainted. Garage floors are made from concrete, which is porous and produces dust. The dust can contaminate the paint and cause issues with adherence. </p><p>Primer creates a barrier and gives you a clean surface to work on. It also minimizes absorption to help give you an even, pro-looking paint job. Make sure you choose a primer that’s specifically designed to cover concrete flooring.</p></div>

What is the alternative to glass garage doors?

• <div><p>Plexiglass garage doors are a durable and less expensive alternative to garage doors, and they maintain a similar aesthetic. Other elegant <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garage-door-types.htm">types of garage doors</a> include carriage house garage doors and stylish wooden garage doors, but these don’t offer the same look as glass, of course. </p></div>

Q: Do I need to seal a garage floor before painting?

• <div><p>You&rsquo;ll usually need to prime a garage floor before painting&mdash;especially if the floor is unpainted. Garage floors are made from concrete, which is porous and produces dust. The dust can contaminate the paint and cause issues with adherence. </p><p>Primer creates a barrier and gives you a clean surface to work on. It also minimizes absorption to help give you an even, pro-looking paint job. Make sure you choose a primer that&rsquo;s specifically designed to cover concrete flooring.</p></div>

Q: Is one or two garage doors better?

• <div><p>Single and double garage doors have pros and cons, but it's all based on personal preference regarding which one is better for you. Two single garage doors give you more control over airflow entering your garage but double the system, which means double the upkeep cost. </p><p>On the other hand, two-car double garage doors are more convenient but can stop you from leaving if a piece of hardware malfunctions.</p></div>

Q: What are standard garage door sizes?

• <div><p>Standard garage door sizes for single doors range from 8 feet wide by 7 feet tall to 9 feet wide by 7 feet tall. An oversized single garage door would be 10 feet wide by 7 feet wide. The standard size for double garage doors is 16 feet wide by 7 feet high. However, some custom double garage doors can be as wide as 20 feet.</p></div>

Q: Are glass garage doors safe?

• <div><p>Although the cost of glass garage doors is a concern, a bigger concern is safety against high-wind storms and burglars breaking the glass. If you use tempered or impact glass on your garage door, it&rsquo;s more shatter-resistant than standard glass. This is safer in a storm where you don&rsquo;t want shards of glass flying around. However, if a burglar wants to access your garage, the glass door is easier to break into than a solid wood or metal garage door. </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!

Ray and his team did a great job. During the bid process, I got bids from several other contractors. Ray was able to get to my price, with the full set of features I requested, plus a few additional ones that other contractors would not do for the price. For example, Ray's price was for a...

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....
