Garage Door Disasters
Don’t let your garage door reach disaster.
Always keep your garage door and garage door openers up to date. With the help of technology, you can now control your garage door from your smartphone. We are all familiar with or know someone who has come home to an open garage door. It’s frightening and makes you feel unsafe, which I am sure is a feeling no one wants to have. With the newest technology, you can check to ensure your garage door is shut and lights are off, so when you get back to your home, you know just how you left it.
Also, it is important that you treat and care for your garage door, especially if you have a wooden garage door. The last thing you want is to see your garage door in crumbles, so be sure to keep an eye out for cracks or wears in your garage door. It is also crucial to get yearly tune-ups to ensure your garage door, operates at its best, to keep you coming and going.
Just a few friendly reminders letting you know that your garage door needs love too.

Cold Weather is Near!
As we put away our tank tops and shorts and bring out the coats and scarves, we often forget about “winterizing” other aspects of our lives. Winterizing your home is a simple, but crucial task we must not forget. Most of us can agree that during the cold months, some things we all want are warmth, comfort, shelter, and a peace of mind. Keeping your humble abode warm and cozy, doesn’t just mean turning up the furnace and getting the extra blankets out of the closet. Don’t leave your home out in the cold this winter. Winterize your home inside and out. This may involve adding a few tasks onto your honey-do-list or making a few calls, but it will save you time and money in the future. A few suggestions for your “winterizing” checklist:
· Gutters- Clogged gutters can lead snow and ice run off straight to your basement and cause flooding. Be sure the water has a place to “run-off” to.
· Roof- Have your roof inspected by a professional.
· Doors and Windows-Inspect your doors and windows. Forecasters are predicting record lows this winter. It may be time to upgrade your windows and doors.
· Fireplace- Be sure to have your flue and chimney checked. Many fires originate in the chimney because creosote, which is flammable, and soot build-up on the chimney walls.
· Furnace-have it inspected and be sure to change the filter. It is recommended to change the filter once a month.
· Stock up! Be sure to have rock salt, snow shovels, and other necessary snow/ice removal equipment in your home so you don’t get “snowed-in.”
· Batteries for smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Heaters, fires, and furnaces can increase the amount of harmful toxic carbons emitted. Keep yourself and your family safe and prepared in case of any incident.
· Plumbing- To avoid freezing pipes, turn off all outdoor water faucets and drain hoses and AC pipes. If there are any exposed pipes, insulate them. Also, know where to locate your water main in the event of an emergency.
· Garage Doors-winter tune ups can help prevent damage that the cold weather can have on your garage door.
