It’s pretty hard to walk down a street and not see garage door. They’re everywhere. In fact, on average a garage door often accounts for up to 40% of your home’s façade. But sometimes it’s easy to forget them. They don’t always stand out, but those that do, really stand out. Of course, there’s the one neighbor who has painted a mural on hers, but you don’t really have the time, and you probably still have the accent wall in your living room that needs finishing.

Can your dog or cat be kept in the garage while you’re not home?

There are two main benefits to having a garage door that is weather-tight and properly insulated. First, it keeps out the winter cold. Second, it serves to keep out noise. If you want to get more use out of your garage than just using it to park your car, a properly insulated door will help you to do just that. All you need to do is turn up the heat a bit, and you can get a great deal of use out of your garage.

It’s crucial to lubricate your garage door over time in order to extend its lifespan and keep it in good working condition. Have you noticed that your garage door has started making strange noises? Can you hear it opening or closing from other areas of the home? You can eliminate a lot of those noises just by lubricating the door’s major components.

You know how it happens – you’re tired, lying in bed, and just about ready to go off to sleep, when your garage door opens and then closes. Someone else in your family has come home, and created noise. You probably wonder how in the world your garage door, which always worked perfectly before, could wake you up like that.
