We don’t have the money to go through and cut out the entire garage floor and replace it. The garage floor has cracked and heaved in some places, and some places the concrete was never there.

My idea was to cut or bash out the areas that have heaved higher, and then overlay with a new concrete.

Would this work? Is there a better solution? The house and garage are both very old. Looking for something that would not be expensive and make the garage more usable.

Emily Siliwon-Curb Appeal CSI Garage Doors asked:


There are an abundance of options as far as building materials and designs available in new garage doors, wood and steel being the most commonly installed. Each type of garage door will have options available for the exterior style/color, decorative windows, hardware, insulation, etc. Every garage door manufacturer will tell you theirs is best, and give you tons of reasons why you should agree. Just like any other product or service. That being said, you should keep in mind that the new garage door you are thinking of purchasing is going to be around for a long time. Garage doors usually last anywhere from 10-20 years, depending on usage and maintenance, and can possibly last longer.

Steel garage doors are the most commonly installed types. Their lower costs, maintenance, and a variety of available designs make them the obvious choice for most homeowners. No painting is required, although the doors can be painted, and most manufacturers offer different finish warranties on their garage doors. Styles include, but are not limited to, raised panel designs, flush panels, and various carriage house designs. Most have insulation options, as well. Considering the fact that most garages share an interior wall with the home, insulation inside your garage door can help conserve on heating and cooling costs.

While their not as common as they once were, wooden garage doors are still readily available in most places. They are available in the same standard styles as steel doors, and can be built to suit. Their costs are generally slightly higher than steel doors, and they will need to be painted or stained to prevent water damage. There are still benefits to having a wooden garage door. A standard model wood door can provide a better R-value than a basic non-insulated steel door. Wooden garage doors can also take a little bit more punishment than the steel types-something to consider if you have kids that play near the doors, or work in or around the garage yourself. Wood doors also have insulation options available. The versatility of wooden garage doors is probably their best point. Homeowners wanting custom garage doors for their home typically go with wooden garage doors.

Vinyl garage doors are beginning to make a larger impression on the market. These doors won’t rust, and are more resistant to dings and scratches than the steel doors. Prepare to pay substantially more for these types of garage doors. Many dealers don’t carry any in stock, so a lead time of 2-4 weeks can be expected. They usually look like a steel door as far as exterior styles are concerned. Vinyl garage doors also have similar insulation options as steel garage doors.

Composite garage doors are becoming more mainstream as consumer demand for environmentally-friendly products grows. These garage doors are typically made from recycled wood. They are insulated in most cases. Again, opting for insulation on a garage door can provide a higher R-value. Composite doors can be painted, or even stained.

Our website has links to many of the large garage door manufacturer sites. Some of these sites will have a “door designer” available where you can view different color and style options for their doors. You can usually find other information on warranties or other garage door specs. When you have your new garage door installed be sure to remember to keep the invoice/receipt in a safe place, and make sure you complete any required registrations in order to have a valid warranty.

A garage is important to shelter your car from both inclement weather and vandalism. It can improve the longevity of your car’s paint job and protect it from falling objects. However, not all of us have the luxury of a ready build garage to store our vehicle and therefore, we must improvise and use a portable garage to serve the purpose.

How Safe Are Portable Garages

Portable garages are basically custom made to fit your requirements. Depending on the space available for the same, they can be anywhere from one car to multiples cars with sliding, zipper or roll up door. Portable garages are easy to build as well as dissemble and offer the same protection for your car as a regular garage.

You don’t need a permit to build a portable garage therefore; you can place it anytime anywhere as long as it on your own property. You can build the garage yourself in couple of days by using the easy to follow instructions, which come with the garage or you can hire a handy man to help you install it quicker in case you don’t have to required tools.

Portable garages are extremely safe; they can locked as well as have a security alarm installed in case you feel higher security levels are required.

The Cost And Durability

Portable garages cost considerably less compared to the regular brick and mortar ones and unlike the traditional garages they can be actually moved wherever you go. The garages carry a lifetime warranty with free service and sometimes even replacement of parts.

Most portable garages are made of stainless steel frames with weatherproof materials to obstruct formation of moisture and avoid damage to your car or other items stored in the garage. You can also custom make your own garage with the material of choice.

Other Helpful Tips

Portable garages come in many different shapes and colors, depending on the space you have available you can pick and choose the garage of your choice. You can also create the garage of your dreams with a workshop in build or storage space; whatever you have in mind it can be custom designed for you should you not find it ready made and available on the market.

Portable garages can be expanded as well should you have the need to do so in time; all you need to do is get the additional material and create the extra space to shelter another car or simply create extra room for other activities.
