There’s a stain on my wooden garage door, how do I clean it?

Wooden garage door maintenance is a little different from servicing other kinds of garage doors. A stain is too difficult to clean without accidentally scarping. A new coat of paint will not only hide the stain, but further protect the wooden garage door from the elements.

What makes garage doors stronger?

Garage doors are strong when they're maintained properly, supported by strong garage door tracks and brackets, and problems with the panel or parts are fixed fast. According to Garage Door Repair Woburn, the door is stronger when the right one is chosen from the beginning. If you choose aluminum overhead doors and have kids playing around or live in hurricane-prone regions, chances are they'll be ruined faster.

What are the pros and cons of screw drive openers?

These units have fewer components compared to their chain and belt drive counterparts. This naturally lowers the risk of malfunction and failure. The other major advantage of these openers is that they usually have a greater opening speed compared to their rivals. Traditionally, they have experienced performance issues in very low temperatures, but newer models don’t usually have this kind of problem. Screw drive openers are noisier compared to the belt drive ones, but quieter than the chain drive units.
