What Is Garage Door Insulation?

If you’re like many people who have relocated to Florida from a colder climate, you may have installed insulation in your previous homes to prevent heated air from escaping. You might not know that insulation can be a cooling solution for your home. Southeast Florida is renowned for hot weather and humidity that lasts most of the year. This heat can infiltrate many areas of your house, including the garage. The result can be an uncomfortable living space and higher energy costs. An insulated garage door provides an excellent defense by acting as a buffer against hot air. Your house […]

Types of Garage Door Insulation

If you’re a homeowner in southeast Florida, you probably know the garage can be a hot and uncomfortable place.

Insulation acts as a barrier between the hot outside air and cooler inside air, regulating your garage’s temperature throughout the year. What Are the Different Types of Insulation? While some garage doors contain versions of fiberglass […]

What Is Insulation R-Value?

An insulated garage door can add value to your home in several ways. This space can get hot, especially in the summer. Insulation helps keep the oppressive air outside. Your home will also be more energy-efficient with insulation, resulting in lower utility bills.  Insulation works by slowing down heat transfer — the process in which molecules move from areas of higher temperatures to lower ones. An insulation’s R-value measures the material’s ability to slow the transfer of heat. What Do R-Value Ratings Mean? If you’re shopping for an insulated garage door, you’ll likely encounter products with an R-value ranging from […]

    The absolute best. They came out on a Saturday and were able to fix my garage door in less time than it took for me to... tell my neighbor what was wrong with it when she saw them working on it. Fixed the problem, programmed a new remote, and fixed the outside keypad all for less than the other companies wanted just to show up to and give an estimate. I can't say enough good things about these guys. They are reliable, more than fair priced, and warranty their work for a year. 100000% would refer them to all of my clients, neighbors, and friends. Thank you to Julio and Eric!!read more

    My garage door spring snapped this morning and I called the Doorman and spoke with Jim the owner who was very nice and... able to send someone out within 30 minutes of me calling. Eric came out gave me a quick estimate, had what he needed on the truck and had my springs replaced and door back up and running within about 30 minutes. He also made a few minor tweaks to my door to ensure it’s running great. Amazing company with fair and honest pricing. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again. Thanks Eric!read more

    I did my homework and found The Doorman to replace my old garage door with a hurricane proof new one. They promptly... replied to my emails and explained the details, which were many, and came out for an estimate which was reasonable as compared to other bigger vendors. Jim and Keith did not try to oversell me and helped me choose the best door in my budget. They custom built my door to specs and took care of all the permits which was great. Keep in mind it did take a few weeks to make the door, so order in enough time for delivery you want. Best part was Cory who installed my new door very professionally and very friendly too and did an amazing job! I was not very excited about buying this; however, now I am very pleased and love how quiet and smooth it runs and also looks clean. Worth every penny and will call them if service is needed as they were very prompt and courteous. Happy customer!read more
