Your garage door might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of curb appeal, but replacing an old garage door can boost your curb appeal. Learn why. 

Garage door springs provide essential support to your garage door opener. It's the spring --or springs, depending on the type of garage door -- that enables you to lift and close your garage door without requiring super-human strength. These springs are thick, strong, and tightly wound.

A broken spring can suddenly send pieces flying across the room, and may cause damage or injuries. Knowing the signs that your garage door spring is breaking can help you avoid a potentially devastating problem. Here's what you need to know.

A garage can be a great place to host Thanksgiving because there's enough room for everyone once you remove the cars. Since your garage isn't exactly a festive space, we recommend decorating for the season. Remove everything large from the garage at least a week in advance so you have time to clean and decorate, both inside and out. 

Do yourself a favor this fall and schedule a day to work on your garage. Seriously, a bit of effort now will make winter easier to endure, and will also assure that you'll be able to enjoy the first warm days of spring when it finally rolls around. 

This is the time to perform a bit of "spring cleaning" in reverse. If your garage has become a catchall for unused, outgrown and no-longer-wanted items over the summer, now is the perfect time to either donate them or give them to a resale store.
