Garage doors

Spring break is still months away, but that is the sort of break you want. The kind you want to skip is the one that has to do with your garage. It starts like this: A tremendous, gunshot-like bang will emanate from the garage. Likely, you and everyone inside the home will jump and flinch, but once you recover you will head to the garage. There, you will fail to easily see the source of the blast. Yet, the next time you try to leave home via the garage door, you’ll realize just what made that horrific ruckus. You will see that it was the lifting spring required to open the door that made that noise when it snapped in two!

You may be surprised to realize that a residential burglary occurs every minute and a half in Canada and every 18 seconds in the United States. In addition, 80% and 60% of those break-ins occur during the daylight hours.

Is the color of your garage door, whether chosen many years ago or recently acquired, completely out of style or just dull and uninteresting? Now is the time to change its appearance and give your home a new look. However, where should you start?

Wondering whether you’ve been swindled? Whether that supposedly reputable garage door company has in fact pulled the wool over your eyes? Or simply curious to know if your garage door is as insulated as you would like it to be or whether you should invest in a new garage door?
