When you approach a house in a car, the first thing you see is the garage door. It’s big, it’s front facing, and it’s going to make or break your kerb appeal. Colour is evolving subtly, and this year is all about turning a corner: soft warmth, bold accents, natural colour influence, all mixed in.  Are Neutrals Being Remodelled?  Neutral colours have long been “safe bets,” but in 2025 they’re being tweaked.

Your garage door labours hard. Up and down, day after day, year after year. Most people never give it any thought until something goes wrong.

 People tend to overlook their garage doors until these mechanisms experience operational problems. Homeowners usually ignore their substantial moving garage door components because they operate automatically throughout each day.

 Your garage door will communicate its significant problems through minor sounds. 
 A grinding sound emerges when you open your door. The annoying noise which emanates from your door actually signals an urgent need for assistance. Unusual noises from garage doors signal problems with worn rollers and stressed springs as well as motor performance issues. Problems with garage doors cannot fix themselves automatically.
