Celebrity Garages John Travolta

February 19th, 2009

There are many luxurius garages out there but not many can top the ridiculus one John Travolta has… God unfortunatly bestowed upon Travolta a massive double chin as depicted in the picture below.

But I guess having a double chin wouldn’t matter that much if you got to have a sick ass garage like the one you see here. This guy can just step out side, hop into one of his planes and fly any where, my guess is he didn’t pay for this with proceeds from his 2004 film The Punisher. One plane is a Boeing  707 and the other a gulf stream..

Garage Door Torsion Springs

Garage Door Torsion Springs

Torsion springs, that deadly looking set up above your garage… Indicated by the bright red tag that says warning… Garage Door Torsion Spring Replacement is not somthing intuitive, however if you have instructions, detailed instalation instructions for your garage door springs than you can change the broken spring on your door. Check out these garage door spring instructions… After you read them you should have the confidence to measure, purchase and replace your springs.

The springs for your garage door are comprised of three variable dimensions… wire size, inside diameter, and coil length.. you will find that these dimensions can easily be measured with a standard tape measure. Once you do this I would suggest ordering both springs as it will be better in the long run. You dont want to install one garage door spring today and then next week take the whole system apart.

Garage Floor Epoxy

February 16th, 2009

Ok, Today I viewed a house with some garage floor epoxy and I realized that although this stuff looked great and solid…It was chipped in a few places big time… so it didn’t even appear to be one of those cheap home depot epoxies, so now I am baffled… what is the right epoxy to use. I will do a review of garage floor epoxy and determine which is actually the strongest one out there. And which epoxy looks great when you install it but two years later starts to chip…

Garage door review - Genie Stealth

genie stealth - garage door opener- reviews

Rating = 8

The genie stealth is the quietest garage door opener opener on earth…. If your bedroom is over the garage, this is a great opener for you…This thing is so quiet it is hard to hear even when you are standing right next to it… It is also a very reliable machine… In the past two years I have serviced mabey one of them. So… I know your gonna ask well why didn’t you give the genie stealth an 8 and not a 10… Well, the problem with the stealth is it is pricey… And that out weighs it’s stealthiness. Secondly genie openers are not the easiest to install… I mean it is not rocket science or anything but it definitely is more difficult than lift master… The programming sequence for genie seems a bit over engineered for my taste. But 8 out of 10 is pretty good anyway.

Garage Door Opener Review-Liftmaster

February 13th, 2009

The Liftmaster 1/2 hp screwdrive, is a remarkable product it seems to cycle doors for long periods of time with out any serious issues, this opener is reliable, inexpensive and is an easy install.

I have very seldom even had to service these openers in the past, the one downfall is that the screw mechinism, makes a lot of noise… They have recently (early 2008) changed the screw mechanism and had some problems with it but since then liftmaster has seemed to get all the bugs out of it… I give this one a Rating =7

Liftmaster 1/2 Chain Drive Operator

The Liftmaster 1/2 Horsepower chain drive operator is not the best choice for value but it is somewhat reliable,personally I would not choose this one for my house because a) It is loud and the chain will rattle. b)The gear and sprocket tends to wear out easily.  Rating=6

Garage Door Review- Genie screw Drive

February 11th, 2009

The standard genie screw drive is a motor that is decent its tends to be somewhat reliable but does have a few quirks about it… For one the trolley sheers out with the slightest amount of extra force applied… an unbalanced door,broken spring ect.,. Genies are also not the easiest units to program…but over all it is a run of the mill screw drive that is in expensive and doesn’t give the home owner too many headaches.

Garage Door Opener Review

February 10th, 2009

Liftmaster 1/3 Horspower chain drive… This is what we at garagedoortoday.com call the hurry up and sell your house opener.. Because If your installing this cheapo you better be selling soon. Although it will make your garage door go up and down for months mabey years if your lucky, it has a tendancy to break down, the gear and sprocket inside is usually the first one to go.

Just becaus most liftmaster products are great does not mean that this one is, If you plan on living in the house for a while don’t bother with this motor at all, the fourty bucks that you save now will be nothing in comparison to what you will spend reparing this little gem…lol

Garage Door Opener Review

Next on our list the Genie Excelorator, primarily this opener can be found at your local home center and installed by the home owner. The funny thing about this opener is that the Genie company is trying to implant in the homeowners mind that some how It is good to have a garage door that opens rapidly… What with fast food, and fast everything else why not have a fast moving garage door..

Well, first of all your garage door is a huge moving object it weighs 200 plus pounds, there is a lot of momentum developed in your garage door as it is and increasing its velocity only increases that momentum. In my experience this a door moving faster comes of the track easier, breaks more and Is dangerous all around. This garage door opener is also one that has parts that are not standard to the industry, so no one wants to work on it, not to mention, It is not reliable. So what ever you do do not get one of these unless you want problems. There are many other garage door openers that you can buy at your local home center that actually will work properly.
