Can you use propane heaters in a garage?

• <div><p>Indoor propane heaters are safe to use in a garage. You may be able to use an outdoor propane heater inside a garage in some instances,<b> as long as the garage door remains open</b> and there’s constant airflow to allow the carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to escape. Other garage heaters include electric heaters and gas heaters.</p></div>

Q: Is a garage considered living space?

• <div><p>In some cases, a detached garage can be considered extra living space, but you will need to gain permission and comply with your local building code. Depending on where you live, you may need permits for a variety of installations, including electrical work, plumbing, and structural work. Many homeowners make the mistake of converting a garage into a living space without acquiring permits, which can result in hefty fines and even the removal of your hard work. Furthermore, a detached garage doesn&rsquo;t add to the livable square footage of your home when it&rsquo;s time to sell.</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>

Q: Where should garage door sensors be located?

• <div><p>Garage door sensors should be installed on each side of the door, typically six inches off of the ground. The sensors communicate through an infrared beam, so they need to face each other directly for the system to work properly. Make sure they&rsquo;re level and aligned, and keep the area around them clear. If they&rsquo;re too high or out of alignment, your garage door won&rsquo;t function properly. </p></div>

Q: How often should I lubricate my garage door?

• <div><p>You should lube your garage door components every three to six months depending on how frequently you open and close the door. Lubricant helps keep garage door components operating smoothly for longer; you can expect a much longer lifespan out of a garage door when you properly care for it, including frequent lubrication. Regular maintenance is much more affordable than the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garage-door-replacement-cost.htm">cost of replacing a garage door</a> prematurely. </p></div>

Excellent service. My garage door spring broke trapping my car inside. I called them late in the afternoon and they were here and had my door fixed before noon the next day. Very professional and did a great job. Would I hire them again- in a heartbeat, they were awesome!! I can’t thank them...

I used the Angie's list deal that contractor posted. $149 for general roofing services. The amount of work he did wasn't worth $149 but that was not necessarily his fault. I bought the deal since I thought there was going to be more work needed to be done. The contractor fixed the leaky...
