If you are finding things to be a touch too chilly in your garage, you may want to start considering the different heating options that are available, whether your garage is attached or stand-alone. There are a few factors to consider when opting for a new system such as: “Should I go with electric, gas, or wood?” In this article, we will attempt to answer this question and several more.

When the guys come over on a weekend to watch sports, talk about cars, drink beer, or play pool, they head down to the "man cave." Typically located in the basement or attic of a house, a man cave lets him do all the things he wants to do in a space that’s all his own. But, just like a man cave, women are finding that they too want spaces of their own, outside the house—a she shed.

If you look at residential home construction trends over the last 7 years or so, you’ll notice that there is one thing that stands out. Garage ceilings are getting higher and higher. Today, 9-foot ceilings are pretty common. Some homes have 12 or even 14-foot tall ceilings.

When something breaks down, or you’re considering an upgrade, you might need to know a little about the door and its parts, including the spring system. This is what provides the counterbalance to the garage door’s weight, making it effortless to open the door manually or via the electric opener.

You can find out anything about anything on the Internet, but unfortunately, a good portion of what you read isn’t exactly truthful. Myths, lies, and deceptions can be found everywhere, and garage door topics are no exception.
