As the temperature rises and summer kicks into full swing, it’s important not to neglect one often-overlooked area of your home: the garage. Believe it or not, your garage door plays a crucial role in maintaining a comfortable environment during the hottest months of the year. To help keep your garage working properly this summer, we’re proud to offer some essential tips to keep it functional and your home cooler.
The first is to insulate your garage door if needed. Proper insulation helps to keep the hot air out and maintain a nice temperature inside. Consider adding insulation panels or weatherstripping to your garage door to prevent heat from seeping in. This will not only make your garage more comfortable but also help reduce energy costs – which is a big one!
Another tip we recommend is to ventilate the space because adequate airflow is essential to prevent the buildup of heat and humidity. Install vents or fans in your garage to promote air circulation. This will help dissipate the hot air and keep the space cool. Additionally, consider leaving windows or doors partially open to encourage cross ventilation.
An overlooked tip is keeping the garage clutter-free. A cluttered garage restricts airflow and can trap heat in the worst way possible. So, take the opportunity to declutter and organize your garage, creating a more open and breathable space. Remove any unnecessary items and consider adding storage solutions to keep your belongings neat and tidy.
These are just some recommended tips that we believe most people can adhere to. By following them, you can ensure that your garage remains cool, functional, and comfortable throughout the intense summer months in Florida. Take the time to implement these tips and enjoy a well-maintained garage space that enhances your home’s overall functionality. Stay cool and make the most of your summer with a garage that’s ready for the heat! However, if there are other issues that aren’t as simple a fix, don’t hesitate to contact us today with any requests or questions. Bluewater Garage Services is here to lift you up (and down)!
If your garage door squeaks and squeals, it may be trying to tell you something. It needs some TLC because it’s been up and down thousands of time since it was installed. A garage door opener is something you don’t think about. It opens when you want it to, and it closes. All with the press of a button. But when it acts up, it’s not funny. Maybe you can’t get in or out. What to do? The first thing you should do, before the problem gets worse, is call Bluewater Garage Door Services. Let a trained repair person check your garage door and opener out. He can make necessary repairs or give it a tune-up and have your garage door opening and closing like it did when it was brand new. Even if you simply want to keep it working like new, a repair person can check it out and help prevent any unnecessary issues from popping up. While your garage door and its opener seem simple enough, it has many parts and pieces, and those parts and pieces have to work together to open a very heavy door. Just give us a call and we’ll interpret what the door and opener are trying to say. It’s that easy. Don’t delay.
As the temperature begins to warm up throughout the Emerald Coast, many homeowners are looking forward to enjoying the spring season. However, before you can fully embrace the outdoors, it’s important to take care of some seasonal maintenance tasks, including your garage door system. Spring maintenance for your garage door is essential to ensure that it functions properly throughout the year.
The winter months can cause several issues for your garage door, including contracting metal components and worn-down weather stripping. These issues can lead to difficulty with door movement and increased energy consumption, which is why it’s important to address them before they become bigger problems. At Bluewater Garage Door Services, we recommend that homeowners lubricate their metal components and inspect their weather stripping for damage. If you notice higher than usual energy bills, it may be time to replace your weather stripping.

The holiday season is underway and the weather in the panhandle is getting chillier by the day. There are several reasons why the holidays can bring about unwanted grief. They are stressful! A majority of the country is traveling, rounding up the money that they have to buy gifts, and hosting family. We all have enough to worry about and unforeseen costs can really dampen the spirits. Here at Bluewater Garage Door Services we aim to provide our customers with the information necessary to cut down on unwanted expenses regarding their garage door systems.
The winter months can sometimes be detrimental to the well-being of a garage. This is why it is important to have your garage door system adequately prepared for when the temperatures begin to drop. There are various pre-winter garage door issues, and tips, that we advise our customers to use or look out for.
The first, and most common, is if your garage door isn’t opening or closing completely. This is obviously an issue you’d like to nip in the bud before the temperatures drop too low. Not only does this have the possibility to cause unwanted damage to numerous components, but it can also have an adverse effect on your heating bill.
Another precaution homeowners can take is to properly prepare their pipes and water heater. Frozen pipes can potentially be disastrous and cause damage to your garage or living area. Insulating your pipes appropriately can save you hassle and money on energy costs.
There are several other tips we can offer to prepare your garage for the winter. Please contact us for more information or tips. Our goal is to help make your holiday season smooth!
The winter is rapidly approaching and maintaining a serviceable garage door is starting to become more necessary. A garage door has several benefits other than protecting your vehicles, and other possessions, from the elements. A working garage door can assist in keeping a homeowner’s electric bill down during the chilly winter months. Proper insulation can save homeowners money, and a garage door will help with the insulating of the rooms alongside the garage. This makes for a much more comfortable living situation, and a cheaper bill.

If your garage door is acting cranky lately, maybe it needs a little TLC. After all, it raises and lowers quite often – maybe several times a day. All this up and down can be hard on the opener, and it’s letting you know it needs care.
The opener is probably a piece of equipment you don’t give the first thought to. The door opens when you press the button and closes when you press it again.
While the opener seems simple enough, it actually has many parts and pieces that can wear out due to age and use. All those parts work together to lift a heavy garage door. If you start noticing problems, make note of what isn’t working correctly and call Bluewater Garage Door Services.
We’ll send a trained repair person to check the door and opener out. He will make the necessary repairs to your satisfaction and have your garage door opening and closing like brand new.
Don’t delay. Give us a call or contact us when your garage door opener needs TLC.

While the opener seems like a simple piece of equipment, it has many parts and pieces that can wear out due to age.

A trained repair person can stop by, check the opener and door and make the necessary repairs to your satisfaction.

Up and down. Up and down. How many times a day does your garage door open and close? Many families use the garage door for entry into their home instead of the front door. The door has always worked perfectly, but now it has some issues.
Does your garage door shake, rattle and roll as it’s opening or closing? Maybe it squeals, reverses direction or makes other strange noises. Maybe it won’t open or close at all.
Just like any other piece of equipment, your garage door and opener experience a lot of wear and tear and many components could fail. While it may seem like a simple fix, garage doors are more complex than you would think. Where would you begin?
The best thing to do is call Blue Water Garage Door Services and let a trained repair person check it out. Once the problem has been identified, repairs can begin, and you’ll be back in business.
If your garage door makes screeching noises that send chills down your spine when it opens, you may need a tune-up or minor repairs.
Things can go wrong with a door that goes up and down several times a day. Shaking, squealing or hanging at an odd angle means something is wrong with one or more of the parts that make it go up and down.
If any of these things are happening with your garage door, don’t try to repair it yourself because you could be seriously injured. Instead, call Bluewater Garage Door Services today and get it checked.
All the problems are most likely repairable but leave that decision to a trained repair person. While the opener may seem like a simple device, there are many moving parts that are best left to someone who knows the equipment.
Give us a call today, and your garage door opener will soon be opening and closing like new.
