5 Common Complaints About Garage Doors

As humans, we’re prideful creatures.  We always want to be the best of the best.  This includes our physical appearance, the university that we graduated from, and even our house.  Our house is included in this list because our home represents our style.  One of the things that can affect the overall look of your house, unfortunately, is the first thing that you see when you pull into the driveway: your Germantown garage door.  

If your LaGrange garage door has any quirks, you can understand what we’re talking about.  The good thing is that there are usually easy solutions to small garage door problems.  Nonetheless, we’re going to identify some of the common problems that garage doors may have.

#1: Noise

This is a super common issue.  You know when you open your Germantown garage door and you feel like you’re waking up your neighbors?  Yeah, most of us have been there.  The good thing is that this usually indicates that you need to lubricate your moving parts, which is an easy fix.

#2: Chipped Paint

Paint is bound to deteriorate with age.  Sometimes people put off repainting their garage door because they tell themselves they’ll just buy a new one, which doesn’t always happen.  What many people overlook, however, is that a new layer of paint can transform your LaGrange garage door, without costing you lots of money.

#3: Dented Panel

This could have happened for many reasons, such as kids playing, animals running around, or even tapping the garage door with your car.  If you have one dented panel, it may be worthwhile to replace that panel, rather than buying a completely new door.

#4: Slanted Garage Door

This is bad for many reasons.  Not only is not physically appealing, but it could let in bad weather conditions, animals, and even burglars.  Since there could be different causes of this, you should get an inspection to identify the cause.

#5: Old Door

Sometimes even after you clean up your old garage door, you still feel like you need a change.  After so many years, you owe it to yourself to invest in a new Germantown garage door.  This will be the biggest way to surprise your neighbors.
