Garage doors

How long have you had your old garage door? Perhaps you’ve had it for many years now – maybe for as long as you have owned home. It has done a stellar job, but now that it is getting older, it may not have the same capabilities that it once did. It might be time to update the door. Perhaps you are building a new garage and need to choose a door.

So, Little Ozzy and the rest of New Black Sabbath want to invade your garage, because they need to practice. Wouldn’t it be great if you could say, “I knew them when…”?

A garage door is an important purchase. It’s going to be visible to everyone who passes your home and will be the largest piece of moving equipment in your house. That said, you want to look for something that ties the look of your home together, works well, requires minimum maintenance, and lasts for years to come.

Perhaps you had a bad morning. You woke up late, couldn’t brush your hair right, and your kids spilled food on the table. You may not have even had time for coffee. You’re in a hurry, rushing to get the kids to school and yourself to work. You finally gather your things, get in your car, and start heading out…

Looking for ways to reduce your impact on the environment? Hoping to reduce your energy costs at the same time? One way to accomplish both goals is to increase your home’s energy efficiency. Lack of insulation means your home is losing energy and money, which harms the environment…

The metal components on the operating system tend to contract, leaving the motor working much harder than usual.

Once you’ve invested in a new garage door and have gone through the whole purchasing and installation process, you most think of what you will do with your old garage door panels. Almost all of us would get rid of them, throw them away in the dumpster or give it to their garage door dealer.

Purchasing a garage door is something you do once every 20 years, if not more. It’s a very important decision, and here at Doors & Things, we understand. With the overwhelming options of different models, styles, colours, and designs, it’s useful to have someone who knows which door may go best with your home.
