Can you manually open the garage door?

• <div><p>If push comes to shove, and you need to manually open your garage door, then you should be able to do so. To manually open your garage door, first, make sure that the door is in the down position. You’ll need to unlock your garage door opener’s emergency release mechanism, which is typically a red robe that you can find on the carriage. Once you’ve pulled the cord, you can manually lower the door.</p><p>If your garage door is stuck in an open position, consider contacting a professional to safely release the opener.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a garage door opener?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t need a garage door opener unless you need or desire the convenience they offer. While you may be able to open some garage doors manually, having a garage door opener makes life a lot easier. There is an exception, though&mdash;a motorized opener is an absolute must if you have a two-car garage (or larger), as the door will be too heavy for the average person to lift on their own.</p></div>

Q: Should there be a gap under the garage door?

• <div><p>No, there should not be a gap between the garage door and the floor. This gap can allow rodents and insects to infest your home. It also creates an entryway for rain and melted snow that can damage your home's foundation or cause mold issues. Finally, leaving a gap will increase your energy bills by allowing heat to escape more easily. If you're looking for something more airy, consider one of the many <a href="https://angi.com/articles/garage-door-alternatives.htm">garage door alternatives</a>.</p></div>

Q: How long do garage door seals last?

• <div><p>You can expect your seal to last anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Several factors affect this&mdash;material, frequency of use, and the weather. For example, seals made from high-quality rubber are built to withstand the elements and can go the distance with a little TLC. If your door sees a lot of action or faces extreme heat or cold, the seal could wear out more quickly. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/diy-garage-door-maintenance.htm">Regular maintenance</a>&mdash;like cleaning and lubrication&mdash;can make your seal last longer. And while it&rsquo;s rare, a professionally installed seal on a smooth floor can potentially last up to 10 years.</p></div>

Q: Can you put regular cabinets in the garage?

• <div><p>Most cabinetry made for a garage will have special coatings and finishes built to withstand extreme heat and cold, moisture, pest damage, rusting, and dry rot. However, many homeowners have put their old kitchen cabinets in the garage, added a couple of fresh coats of paint, and use them for a while without too much wear and tear. </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.

"Thres and his crew are amazing! He contacted me soon after submitting a request for quote. I wanted covered parking and added on updates to my gated entrance. It took a little while to get our calendars aligned (he's super busy) but once we did everything moved along quickly. They were in and out in just a few days. I'm extremely pleased with the work done and would hire them again in an instant!"
