Do you need drywall over insulation in a garage?

• <div><p>You do not need to drywall over most types of garage insulation. However, doing so can increase noise reduction, make the space more attractive, and keep children and pets from touching harmful fiberglass insulation. If you’re using cellulose or some other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/blown-in-insulation.htm">type of blown-in insulation</a> (fiberglass and mineral wool are common), you will need drywall to contain the insulation material.</p></div>

Should I install my own garage door opener?

• <div><p>We recommend hiring a garage door professional to install a garage door opener for you. Garage door openers aren’t terribly complex, but setting them up properly, setting the lift and drop speed, and installing sensors that work correctly can take a few hours for a DIYer. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-garage-door-opener-cost.htm">cost to install a garage door opener</a> is around <b>$400</b>, and it will save you a lot of time and frustration. Garage professionals have the skills and equipment necessary to work with potentially dangerous garage door components, like springs.</p></div>

Q: Should a garage door be lighter or darker than the house?

• <div><p>The color you choose for your garage door is up to personal preference, but you can opt for several design options when choosing the color. Look for a complementary color to that of your home or choose a monochromatic look by selecting the same color as the rest of the exterior in a different shade.</p></div>

Q: How much do new garage door installations cost?

• <div><p>Most homeowners pay an average of $1,200 for everything involved in garage door installation. While garage door repairs average about $250, installing a new door altogether can be a much pricier project. Prices range anywhere from $200 to $2,600 depending on the style, material, and labor required for installation. </p></div>

Q: Does the type of garage door affect the insulation?

• <div><p>The level of insulation is determined by both the material and the thickness of the door. Some garage door materials (such as wood) have natural insulating capabilities, while other materials (such as metal) do not. No matter the material, two-layer and three-layer garage doors have a higher R-value than single-layer garage doors, as insulation is fitted between the panels. </p></div>

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.

He is good on his word and you can trust his judgement. The window still does not go up and down but he repaired the mechanics to do so. I will secure the needed switch. It the weather is bad he will replace at no charge since I had no garage.
