It’s time to get the summer gear out. You’ll probably have a great deal of fun summer activities planned and it’s always nice having things on hand when you need them. Go ahead and break out the following items and clean them up:
- Bicycles
- Golf clubs

- Lawn mowers
- Clippers
- Trimmers
- Other landscaping tools and materials
Find a good place to store these items away from your Raleigh garage doors and garage door opener. It’s important to keep the garage doors, opener, and other components free and clear of anything that could block the opener or garage door components, or get in the way of opening and closing the garage doors.
Now might be a great time to consider investing in a storage system. Many of your garage door servicers handle such things.
According to precisiongarage.com, “If your garage is climate controlled, you need to reset the thermostat for cooling and the temperatures to what you prefer during the summer. Clean the air vents and change filters. Also, check weather stripping around the garage door so you are not cooling any more of the outdoors than necessary. It could save you a significant amount of money on your electric bill.”
It’s likely there are several other things you may want to do to get your garage in tip-top shape for summer. Keep in mind though, the most important part of cleaning and organizing your garage is to help benefit your garage doors and to be sure that you don’t need any garage door repair.
