4 Weakest Parts of Your Garage

We may strive for perfection just like what we believe to be as seen on TV and magazines, but in truth there is no such thing. Even if a building looks high-end, you will still be able to notice some parts which should still be improved. If you are planning a garage makeover, you may as well examine the weakest parts of your garage to focus your improvement.

Do not worry; once you have strengthened these weak parts, you do not have to do it yearly. It may even take 5 years or more before you can see the need to strengthen them again.

Below are 4 of the weakest parts of your garage:

    1.   The garage door

You use your garage door every day and definitely can’t live without it. Whether it is automatic or manual, there will come a time when it would be hard to open and close it. Can you imagine how much headache will you have especially when you are in the rush? Certainly, that is not a good idea in times of emergency.

The earliest signs of a broken garage door would be the squeaking sound once it opens and closes. Another would when it would become a little hard to navigate it. The problem lies in the hinges most of the time, so focus on them.

     2.   The flooring

The garage flooring is also constantly used. It is where all the oils, greases, harsh chemicals, and strong impacts from heavy objects go. These are the reasons why the flooring would look bad in few months’ time.

For your makeover, invest on materials that are oil and abrasion resistant just like resin. You will then have lesser problems when dealing with it. Also choose materials that will incur you lesser maintenance to save time and cost.

     3.   The ceiling

Because maximising space is now being prioritised in most makeovers, racks of different kinds are now also designed for ceilings. These should be sturdy to make sure that accidents are avoided. However, ceilings themselves can be the reason of accidents when they are weak.

To make sure they are equipped enough for your hanging racks, check the framing. If there are signs of it becoming weak like cracks, and chipping if made of wood, have it fixed right away. They may look okay from the outside, but when ceiling attachments are made, they break off easily.
