Welcome back! In a few previous posts, we’ve offered tips for getting your garage winterized. It’s important to give your Durham garage a little extra love during the fall to ensure that it can endure the cold weather and protect your home. Today we will cover a few final tips for winterizing your garage and garage doors for the upcoming weather. To be sure that your garage is ready:
Examine your garage door track for debris:Remove fall leaves that might have blown into the track. Also, check decorative hardware. The hinges, handles, and latches could have loose screws and rust build-up.
Organize summer tools: Lawn and garden tools accumulate in the garage long after they’re actually needed. During the fall, make sure you organize and put away any tools that you might not need in the winter time. As the temperatures drop, you can box up any gardening tools, seeds and equipment since you won’t need them again until the ground thaws in the spring.
Clean: Sweep the garage floors, dust surfaces, and make sure all trash is thrown away.
Replace outdoor lighting: The days are getting shorter, and as winter approaches nightfall comes before most of us get home from work. According to overhead.com, “During winter months, lighting becomes increasingly important for evening activities. Check the inside and outside of your garage for light bulbs that need to be replaced. To cut costs, consider replacing them with energy-efficient or solar lighting.”
