If you’re like most people, you probably don’t think too much about your garage door throughout the day. Even though you use it to come and go from your home, it doesn’t take up much headspace. That is until it becomes noisy. The irritating sounds of a loud garage door
Keeping The Garage Warm This Winter
If you use your garage exclusively for storage, you may think you don’t need to keep it warm during the winter. However, many of us have turned our garages into multipurpose spaces; not holding just our cars and gardening tools anymore. We also store home improvement supplies and other items we do not have room in our homes for that should not freeze. No matter how you use your garage, you should do what you can to keep it warm in the colder months.

Garage Door Weather Seal Installation Minnesota
Living in the Minnesota homeowners know the importance of energy efficiency. Many customers however are unaware of the amount of heat loss their home may have from the garage. The number one cause of this is either having worn out weather seals or not having any at all. By not having the proper seal you are allowing cold air flow directly into your home via the garage door. We have run into countless homes where they are heating the garage but don’t have any form of weather seal to stop air flow. This is very counterproductive and takes a huge hit on your wallet. At Rise & Shine Garage Doors, we carry all the weather seal you need to keep out the elements and lower your heat bill.
Broken Garage Door Spring Twin Cities MN
Has your garage door ever had trouble opening? Perhaps it only goes up a few inches or feet and stops, or maybe it doesn’t open at all. This is most often due to a Broken Garage Door Spring. Garage Door Springs are the lifeblood of the over Garage Door Torsion System; without the springs the garage door would be far too heavy for your opener to lift it. It is not uncommon for garage doors to weigh in excess of 300 lbs. A broken spring was most recently the culprit for one of our Twin City, MN customers. The customer called after trying to leave for work noticing the garage door only opened a couple of inches and stopped.
Torsion Conversion in Woodbury, MN
When you buy a brand new home that was just built within the last few years you are thinking that everything should be working properly for years to come because you bought brand new. However, many of our customers are finding that in these new neighborhoods the builders may have tried to cut costs on the little things such as the Spring System for your Garage Door. In Woodbury, MN we found an entire neighborhood that was built by the same building company and they cut corners on every Garage with a sub-par spring system that has a lot of cheap and plastic parts. While this system will work for a few years, when it does break down the cost of repair can be outrageous because it requires replacing the entire system or performing a Torsion Conversion.

However there are a few things that many of our customers may not be thinking about but are just as important to the health of your Garage Door. One of those things is making sure your bottom seal is intact all the way across the bottom of your entire door. In Falcon Heights we had a customer that recently purchased a new home and the Garage Door did not even have the retainer that the bottom seal slides in to so we had to do a full bottom seal replacement.

In Woodbury, MN we had this very instance occur where the customer had ice on their driveway and slid right in to the door.
