Is Your Garage A Mess?

Blog

Have you been parking one of the family vehicles outside of the garage because there's not enough space for the car? Perhaps you can't even easily access the garage because your garage door opener isn't working. From arranging for garage door opener repair to getting your garage organized, here are some ideas that might help:

Garage Door Opener Repair

When you were a kid, did your mother or father have to manually open the garage door? If you are doing that yourself now because your garage door opener isn't working, you probably feel like you are living in the dark agesEven before you start your organization project in the garage, consider calling professionals to make whatever repairs need to be made so that you and your family members can access the garage easily once more.

The repair service will send somebody who has the training and the experience to detect what the problem is with your garage door opener. For example, the repair person might find that the photo eye is blocked, or that the torsion springs are broken. It might be as simple as the fact that the sensitivity needs adjustment. The repair person will have the right skills and the right tools to make the repairs that are needed so that your garage door will easily open from now on. That's a big deal when your area is experiencing really cold weather this winter.

Organize Your Garage

While you are waiting for the garage door opener repair people to do their job, you can plan what you need to do in the garage to get it totally organized. For example, you might need to purchase a storage shed to hold things like your lawn mower and garden tools. You might need to buy a bike rack so your kids can put their bikes up properly instead of just leaving them on the garage floor. Does your garage already have shelves in it? If not, think of purchasing both open shelves and shelves with doors on them. Store things like holiday decorations in the open shelves and store light-sensitive items, like spray paint, in the cabinets that have doors on them. Plan a day on which your entire family can work together to get rid of things that are no longer wanted or needed. For example, your spouse might not be interested in doing woodwork projects anymore. If that's the case, free up some space by eliminating items that he or she used for those projects.
