Is Your Home Ready for Hurricane Season?

Is your home ready for hurricane season? Make sure your garage door is up to par as well. All new and recently-installed garage doors are required to be hurricane-ready but if you have an older door, make sure it is up to code. Either reinforce it or upgrade it. Upgrading your garage door is a wise investment for multiple reasons: It provides safety, first and foremost; enhances your home’s curb appeal and an insulated door provides substantial energy savings and comfort, at a very moderate expense. -RGDS

Make Sure This is Included in your Home Inspection...

Are you in the market to buy a home? Make sure the garage door is included in your home inspection. The fact that it opens, doesn't necessarily mean that it's in good condition. A repair or even having to replace an opener later on won't be too expensive, but if the door itself is in poor condition and/or needs to be replaced, that's definitely something you want to factor into your offer.
