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>

Q: Where is most heat lost in a garage?

• <div><p>Most heat in a garage is lost through air leaks in windows, doors, and walls. This is especially true if the walls are uninsulated, which is common in garages. Consider insulating your garage before installing a garage heater to ensure the heat it generates isn&rsquo;t wasted, making it less efficient.</p></div>

Q: Are prefab garages worth it?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s better to build a garage than buy and install a prefabricated one. You can save money by purchasing a prefabricated metal garage kit for between <b>$4,000 and $11,000</b>. However, this does not include the price of labor and permits, which can account for more than half of the project cost. Building a new garage over buying a prefab garage will add more value to your home and will last longer, so it&rsquo;s more cost-effective over time to build a new garage.</p></div>

Q: Are garage door springs dangerous?

• <div><p>Since garage door torsion springs have tightly wound coils under massive tension, they can cause serious injury while attempting to service them. A broken spring can also cause the garage to close rapidly, causing injuries. That&rsquo;s why any adjustments or replacements of a torsion spring should only be conducted by a trained professional.</p><p>Extension springs are just as dangerous as torsion springs&mdash;especially when they break. These springs can become projectiles and may cause serious injury or property damage.</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>
