    Garage door springs

    Thanks everyone for your input. My door is very heavy and has four springs and I had one changed about four months ago so I'm having the remaining two done today. First spring was quality work but they ripped my face off so the other three I've been slower to act. I don't give the installers...

    Garage door springs

    I had a sort of professional come out and replace a busted spring. I have four springs since I have an 8' custom wood and insulated door. An hour after he left another spring snapped the first time I opened the door. The springs are 10 years old. Could he have not put enough tension on the new...

    ArmorClad Armorpoxy stain help

    My floor is over 6 years old and in fantastic condition. However, I parked a car in the third bay for about two months (rarely ever park there) and a brown/orange stain has appeared. It will not come off with simple green and scrub brush. Also tried WD-40. Also tried a magic eraser, with...

    Question about mini splits?

    You can't run two "separate" rooms off one unit because there are no ducts. I bought a Della brand on Amazon, pre-charged for $800 and I'm in Houston and it keeps my 575 sq ft garage with 11' ceilings nice and cool in summer and ran the heat when it was 22 degrees and it warmed it up nicely...

    Refinishing shop floor

    There are many good products listed/advertised here but... You must diamond grind. Not diamond grinding is like painting dirty, chipped wood siding.

    ArmorClad & uCoat it compare , use & install

    Just want to share my experience with both: In Feb. 2014 I applied U Coat It after diamond cutting and prep. It's a two coating process and at the time a clear topcoat was not offered. In 2017 I heavily scuffed the U Coat It and laid down the ArmorClad kit with topcoat. The U Coat It (not...

    Got my Armorpoxy/ArmorClad floor down this weekend!

    Can I ask how slick the epoxy coat was before you put on the topcoat? I am putting down epoxy only and am curious about a potential slip and fall. Thanks,

    Need ArmorClad install advice

    Little backstory: I laid down a competitors epoxy and it's done it's job as my prep work was uber meticulous and I've had virtually no lifting. Floor's been properly scuffed and I'm going to apply the two part Armor Clad in about a week when the weather's optimal. I need hands on Armorclad...
