Grateful for Garages
We know you have a lot to be thankful for. You probably don’t need another thing to add to the list. Yet, As Halloween takes its jagged jack o’ lantern scowl to storage and Thanksgiving peeks its fleshy red Gobbler’s neck around the corner, we pause to suggest that you take a moment to appreciate that space attached to your home on which you heavily rely.
The Garage is One of the Most Important Features of your House
Yet it seems to be one of the humblest. Like a Dickens character, it just sits outside, ready to be of service when in need. It rarely gets a cleaning, never expects its interior to be decorated for the holidays, and is quick to open and close its doors to you at a mere push-of-a button.
We, for one, are very thankful for garages. Those underrated spaces are the reason we get to provide the best service in the world. We take great delight in garage door installation and repair—knowing we can turn a bad day good or a good day better as fast as you can say torsion spring.
Let’s raise a sparkling autumnal cider to the TOP 5 REASONS we are oh-so-thankful for garages:
1. They Keep Us Dry
Wisconsin weather is as predictable as a newborn baby’s sleep pattern. One minute it’s 80 degrees and the next its sleeting. Let’s take a moment to be thankful for that convenient garage that allows us to pull right into a sheltered parking spot and walk from our driver’s seat into our house without a drop of precipitation on our heads. We can easily unload the week’s groceries, transition the toddler, remove the golf clubs and help our aging parents get from the car to the house without the added stress of wind or rain on our faces. Let’s admit it, anyone who has had an attached garage for any length of time begins to take this fact for granted. When considering the alternative, it reminds us just how thankful we are for the protection.
2. They Keep Us Organized
Bicycles, scooters, lawn mowers and sports equipment all have the garage to thank for their home sweet home. Without the garage, we would have to store these things in the basement, a shed or on the sidewalk. With the help of garage shelving, we even have additional space for the things that we keep in containers. Organization of our things gives us peace and peace is good for the whole family.
3. They Give Us Extra Room
Many a garage has been turned into a home gym, an extra party space, a garage bar or a man cave. In some cases, we may even be able to store our cars in the garage and use the space for these things. This allows us the ability to be healthier, happier, connect with others or find some much-needed alone time.
4. They Keep Our Vehicles Safe and Clean
Let’s not forget the main point of the garage—to keep our car protected from the weather and stored in a place that is safe and secure. The garage is a welcome reprieve from the outside world, especially in the dead doldrums of winter. It also saves us the precious minutes it would take to scrape snow and ice from our car windows. That reason alone, makes the garage a wonderful friend.
5. They Are Reliable
It may seem like there’s not much on which you can truly depend. You can’t depend on the news, the weather, the economy, or your mood. You can, however, depend on the comfort and stability of your garage and your garage door.
