How to Find a Reliable Garage Door Company It’s a fairly simple idea. The more you do something, the better you are at doing it. When you bought your first home, you might not have been the greatest at fixing leaky faucets, or pointing up mortar or even keeping the grass green. But as time went on, the more often you did something, the more tips and tricks you picked up to make the process easier and/or better. After a while, you could get to the point where there are not many things around the house that you wouldn’t at […]

3 Common Garage Door Questions The long-lasting durability of most of today’s garage doors can actually create a bit of a problem. Most homeowners rarely have to fix, maintain (although they should do regular maintenance if they want their door to last as long as possible) or repair their doors and they’ll probably only get a new door once or twice in their lifetimes. That means, despite it being the largest movable object in the home, one that gets used at least a couple times of day, and one that helps protect their car and other valuables, most homeowners don’t really know […]

Why Your Garage Door Isn’t Closing All the Way It one of those things you just don’t think about, until there’s a problem. It’s one of those things that works perfectly until it breaks. Your garage door and opener rarely have a breakdown, but when they do, troubleshooting it feels like you’re hunting in the dark. If you’re lucky, you might spot the problem fairly quickly. If the opener is working, but the door won’t close, you might find something blocking the tracks the door rolls along. But, if after you check the tracks, it still doesn’t close all the […]

How Much Does it Cost to NOT Get a New Garage Door? Sure, you’ve got it on the back burner of things to look at when you have time, or maybe not. Replacing the garage door is something that most of us will only ever do once or twice. So, unlike something like replacing the furnace filter, you have no real schedule for replacing the door. In fact, aside from the obvious signs, like it just fell off its rollers, no one really knows when it’s time to replace their garage doors. But fear not. We have come up with […]

Is Your Garage Ready for Winter? Forget whether your garage is ready, are you ready for winter?! While it comes every year, it always seems to take us by surprise. What is this strange white stuff that I need to push to the side of the driveway? Of course, it doesn’t take long for winter to not only become familiar again but to become a long, cold chore of keeping ice and snow from your driveway and walkways. You might not think of it this way, but your garage is often the centre of your ‘winter operations’. It’s where you […]

A Homeowners Journey of Garage Door Discovery If you have a garage in your home, this scenario might sound familiar. You’re in the garage, maybe working on something or putting something away.

Do you risk facing the neighbour by opening the door to find out what the noise is about? Now imagine if you had windows in your garage […]

Why You Should Keep Your Garage Door Closed – Especially in Winter To get a good idea of why you should always keep your garage door closed, it helps to realize there are only two times when your garage door should be open. You should always keep your door open if you’re using something that emits noxious or toxic odours, fumes or gases, like your car engine or strong paint thinning solutions. The only other time to leave your door open is when you’re doing something that means you’ll be in and out of the garage so often that opening […]

Why Your Garage Door is One of the Best Ways to Increase Your Home’s Curb Appeal Curb appeal means exactly what it says: it’s the ‘appeal’, or how attractive your home is, from the ‘curb’, or street. In other words, curb appeal means how good your home looks from the outside. While most homeowners have pride of ownership and want their homes to look their best, curb appeal really has no dollar value unless you’re selling your house. Then it has lots of dollar value. Still, people will go out of their way, and over budget, to keep their homes’ […]

How to Make Your Garage More Eco-Friendly From adding more efficient attic insulation to using triple-glazed windows, homeowners are constantly taking more and more steps to make their homes more energy-efficient. While that means the home is more eco-friendly, burning less electricity and/or gas and oil to keep the interior comfortable, most of us are insulating our homes for more selfish reasons. We often make energy-saving upgrades to save money on energy costs and/or take advantage of government rebates to defray the costs of the renovations. Regardless of the reason, there’s one part of the home that few homeowners think […]
