About Giving Maintenance to Your Garage Door

If you’re wondering how to add insulation to your garage door, you must take a couple of things into account: if the terrain is flat and regular, and how smooth your door’s inside face is.  (Related topics: Spencertown garage doorsKinderhook garage doors, Austerlitz garage doors)

If your door is smooth and relatively free of hardware on the inside face, you can apply a rigid insulation on the inside to avoid the issue of sun and rain causing problems with your wood and foam. Further, the extra thickness of the door wouldn’t interfere with the opening and closing as it probably would on the outside.

For those trying to spray paint their garage door but have no electric device to do so, a weed sprayer can work if applying a very thin, watery liquid to your door wood, but if the paint is too thick it won’t have the same result. Your best bet is trying even the smallest portable electric generator which will suffice in terms of power to run a real paint sprayer.

There are many options out there. If you have some extra money to splurge, you might get better results with what’s called an airless sprayer. Needless to say, you can also cover a lot of ground with a roller and paint brush.

Struggling with weeds under your garage door? You should consider flaming the weeds. You can get long-handled propane torches for this job and a touch of the flame is enough to kill weeds.

Finding yourself in the need of cleaning your garage door is not uncommon and, in fact, the cleaner and nicer your garage door looks, the higher your chances of strengthening your curb appeal. This is extremely important, especially, if you’re thinking about selling your home any time soon.

Washing your door with a pressure washer is ideal but not everyone owns one of those, and if you don’t have the chance to rent one, the traditional sponge and bucket of soapy water can do the trick. Just make sure to vigorously rub any dirt off and add a protective layer of wax (if need be) after the door is completely dry.
