based0:50um the Springs don't like the extremes0:53and also in the winter time we can get0:55cool too or cold and that's not good so0:59tell us what happens when we hit these1:01extremes1:02right so Springs metal uh hot oil1:05tempered there's galvanized but at the1:07end of the day the base is metal and1:10you'll have a spring and maybe it's a1:12little bit out of its cycle life it's a1:13little bit older and just that that last1:16straw that broke the camel's back is1:18that fluctuation in weather whether it1:20goes from hot to cold or cold to hot1:22that's just the last piece that it takes1:24and then bang hear that loud noise in1:27the garage you don't know what it was1:29until you can't open the door you know1:32that's just it that's a Telltale sign if1:34you hear a bang in your garage and your1:37kids aren't playing with firecrackers1:38and your husband's not in there with the1:39gun it's likely right it's likely the1:44spring because it makes a big bang and1:46when that happens please do not try to1:48move your door you really can't it's1:50very heavy isn't it yeah it's super1:52heavy especially if you're on like a1:54single spring system then we don't have1:57anything to lift up that door so1:59whenever you get the opportunity always2:01put two Springs on a door when you can2:04so let's talk about ways of keeping the2:08cool air out in the winter time and the2:10hot air out in the summertime with2:13weather seal and also kind of keeps the2:15critters out too right so whenever2:17starting with the spring snapping you're2:20going to get a garage door Tech out2:21there and it's going to come to a point2:24where you're putting money into the door2:25now of course at A1 Garage Door we have2:28the best Springs that last over 80 0002:31cycles and you'll never have to worry2:32about it again but at the same time do2:36you want to put that work into a door do2:38you even like that door2:40so yes we can repair the door but we got2:43to talk about the investment value and2:45is the garage cold so you want to put2:48money into the door but you never go out2:50in the garage because whichever heat or2:52cold is going on outside makes it2:54unbearable in your garage so what can we2:58do to make your garage comfortable and3:00work for you and going from the trim to3:03the bottom rubber to the actual door3:05installation itself and what it's made3:06out of how about we get you into3:08something that you actually like and3:10gives you a good Roi or return on3:13investment for you3:14and John you know what's nice about3:16getting an entire new door is you have3:19the opportunity to get a new track3:21system new rollers new hinges new3:23everything the new seals and it is brand3:27new right so every it's like getting a3:29new car you're not just getting a new3:31transmission you're not just getting new3:33Wheels you're getting a whole new car3:36and it's not that expensive for a huge3:39makeover not only are you getting a3:41great mechanical device which is your3:42garage door but it you know3:43aesthetically3:45it's huge uh in general doesn't the3:49garage door make up to 40 of the facade3:52of people's homes yes it does it's the3:55number one curb appeal I mean I've had3:58I've installed new garage doors before4:01and then the Neighbors come home and4:03then they come up to me they see my van4:05it says garage door guy on it and they4:08come up to me and the house looks so4:10different they'll come up and be like4:11hey can I get your business card do you4:13paint paint houses did you just paint4:14their entire home it looks so different4:16I'm like no we just replaced the garage4:19door it's a huge huge deal4:21and John you know that can be done in a4:24matter of hours versus actually painting4:28a home which doesn't give you that brand4:30new garage door it doesn't give you that4:32feature so let's say that you just have4:33a builder grade garage door but now you4:36want some Dimension to it maybe you want4:38those external looking hinges like a4:40carriage house look maybe you want some4:42windows in it maybe you want an4:43insulated door let's talk a little bit4:45about that yeah so if we're going to4:48talk about reinvesting in your home and4:50giving your home like a facelift and it4:53comes upon insulation so some people you4:55have a Pandora which is just sheet metal4:58essentially that's stamped uh you have5:00vinyl backed uh which is just styrofoam5:03so it has this thing called polystyrene5:05it looks like this it's like the packing5:08foam for all your old Christmas stuff5:10that you keep in the garage that makes a5:12little snow globe every year when you5:13break it out to decorate these holidays5:15and then it's just got this nice little5:18glue that's it so this is just sitting5:20inside of a Pandora and the insulation5:23is is minimal it's not really do5:25anything because the typical exterior5:27wall if you got 2x4 exterior walls it's5:30going to range in between 13 to 15 R5:33value5:34but then you got two by six walls and5:36then that ranges from 19 to 21. so5:39just average home we're going to say is5:41around 13 on an exterior wall so that's5:44where we should start so that's going to5:46happen and polyurethane doors and you5:49can see in a polyurethane door it's an5:51injected foam and it fills all the5:53cracks and crevices in there and it5:55expands the structural rigidity the5:57insulation value the quietness because6:00it's heavy so if you get some nice nylon6:02rollers you get some good hinges we get6:04it up on a maintenance plan you're never6:06even going to hear that thing so6:08whenever you're picking do you want to6:10spend a little bit of money on something6:12that you're going to have to spend more6:15money down the line because you're just6:18getting a product that warps and shapes6:20and doesn't do anything and your water6:23heater you got a washer to dryer out in6:25the garage or do you want to invest a6:27little bit more and have like a6:28bulletproof door and essentially if your6:31garage is sealed and you have a good6:33insulated door we have a good trim and6:36weather seal and bottom rubber because6:37it doesn't matter how thick the door is6:39if I got all four corners of it exposed6:42to the outside it's not doing anything6:44but if I have good seal good6:45polyurethane6:47you should be able to open your man6:49dwarf to your kitchen or whatever you6:51have it and have it the same temperature6:52as your house6:54yeah it's uh really makes a big6:57difference I have a three-car garage and6:59both of my garage doors I've got a7:01double garage and a single and7:04years ago I replaced my 18 year old7:08garage doors that were barely working7:11with insulated doors that have the glass7:15in it the windows and those are double7:18pane so we're talking about a highly7:21insulated door with high r value yes yes7:25usually they can fill those with a argon7:27gas which is in between which is a good7:30filter and bracer between the R value so7:33insulated Windows depending on the style7:35the thickness of the door just if you're7:38gonna spend a little bit of money at7:42least let's fit in something that's7:43going to benefit you and you can get7:45your money back because garage doors7:47have the number one Roi of any
