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>

What can I do about a gap under my garage door?

• <div><p>If you have a gap under your garage door, it may be caused by an uneven garage floor. Repairing the concrete under the floor may level out the surface enough to fix gaps. You can also <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/replace-garage-door-weather-stripping.htm">replace the garage door weather stripping</a> or adjust the closing position of the door to see if that remedies your issue. Otherwise, call a garage door repair specialist to inspect the door.</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: What is the average cost to install a new garage door?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/garage-door-replacement-cost.htm">cost to install a garage door</a> is usually around <b>$1,224</b>, with most homeowners seeing a price between <b>$755 and $1,696</b>. Several factors come into play, like the type of door, material (wood is pricier than vinyl), insulation, and size. Labor costs also play a role because DIY garage door installs are a bad&mdash;and dangerous&mdash;idea. Most professionals bundle labor into the total price, but if it&rsquo;s separate, expect to pay anywhere from <b>$200 to $500</b>.</p></div>

Q: Can a car interfere with a garage door opener?

• <div><p>It is possible for a car to interfere with a garage door opener, but the interference will most likely be caused by any onboard electronics in this scenario. If you encounter this problem, try parking a safe distance away from the garage door and turn off the car&rsquo;s electronic equipment. </p></div>

They helped me turn a metal garage into a beautiful workspace, with a loft and enclose space for my car. They listened to my ideas and helped bring my vision to life. They get to work quickly and have a very fair price.

I was not happy at all, should not be in the moving business. Crushed boxes, and didn't move everything I asked them to move. It was a costly move, broke the garage door opener. I can't get into my garage at all. I don't know where all of my possessions are.
