5 Maintenance Tips You Can Do Now to Prepare Your
Garage for Winter
2
As we are ready to say hello to fall and winter,
its time to organize your garage space and
prepare it for the winter months ahead. Garages
are more than a place to park your car and may
wind up being full of miscellaneous items prone
to weather damage. Here are five maintenance
tips you can do now that will ensure your
garage is in tip-top shape when winter comes
around 1 Check the Garage Weather
Stripping If your garage is in an area
where it rains or snows, be sure to
inspect the weatherstripping that seals along
the bottom of your garage door for any tears or
deteriorated sections or gaps. If your
weatherstripping has any of these problems, its
time to replace it. Weatherstripping can become
damaged any time of the year, and replacing it
will prevent water, debris, and living creatures
such as mice or rats from entering your garage.

• Garage Door, Opener, and Remote
• Check the garage door and opener for any issues
  they might have. A shaky or slow moving garage
  door might be an indication that the spring is in
  need of repair. It may also be time to repair or
  replace your garage door opener if it doesnt
  operate correctly.
• It is also important to replace the batteries in
  your remote on a regular basis! Being proactive
  can save a lot of time and headache later!
• If you have any concerns (safety or operational)
  about your garage door operating correctly,
  please contact one of our dealers.
• Insulation
• If you live in an extreme climate and
  have an attached garage and/or use your
  garage all year as a workspace, insulating the
  garage doors and adding insulation in the garage
  walls may be a wise investment. Many people keep
  more than just their vehicles in the garage, and
  extreme temperatures may harm valuables in
  storage.
• Insulation can also save you money on heating.
• Organizing and Cleaning
• Clean out any clutter from your garage as much
  as possible! This includes things like old
  furniture, boxes of stuff, unused tools,
  etc. Anything you dont use regularly should
  be stored elsewhere so that your space stays
  clean and organized during the colder months
  ahead.
• Having a well-organized and clean garage
  may make your life a lot easier. Put away
  summer things and organize the winter/fall tools
  and holiday décor for quick accessibility.
  Changing seasons is just one of several
  straightforward tasks you can accomplish to make
  your garage more organized and user-friendly.
