A garage door can last a long time (25 to 70 years) if you take care of it. But if you live by the ocean salt air is not easy on any surface of a garage door. Wood or steel garage doors take more abuse from the salt air. Steel garage doors can rust and wood garage doors need to be well painted to help keep the moisture out. Even if you live inland depending on how much sun your garage door gets.

You will need to paint your garage door at the first sign that your paint is checking or cracking. Do not paint the inside of your garage door, it only adds weight to the garage door there not any other value in painting the backside of a garage door. When painting your garage door try to paint the garage doors in early summer or late fall before the rains come. Garage door through the course of a winter can absorb one to four gallons of water and that water dose not evaporate fast with the first sign of sun.

Keep in mind as well that wood garage doors get heavier as they get older. A gallon of water weights eight pounds a gallon of paint weights about twelve pounds. Each time you paint your garage door your adding weight to that garage door and that’s why after twenty or thirty years you need to replace your garage door springs with larger garage door springs to help counter balance the weight of the garage door.

Most quality steel doors come with a baked on polyester enamel coating. To finish the door, the following procedures are recommended. To improve the adhesion of the paint, lightly sand the door’s surface with a fine steel wool to reduce gloss (STEEL WOOL ONLY). Do not expose bare metal. Any exposed bare metal be coated with a primer specifically intended for galvanized metal. Clean your door with a phosphate free laundry detergent. Rinse the door thoroughly with clean water and let dry completely before painting. Solvents are not recommended for cleaning. DO NOT PAINT IN DIRECT SUNLIGHT ~or~ IF THE DOOR SURFACE IS WARM TO THE TOUCH. Dark colors are not recommended where the door is exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods, such as a southern to western exposure. Dark colors absorb and retain the heat. A top coating of a high quality Rust-Oleum brand paint is recommended for the door. At this point, care must be exercised not to paint joint and edge seals, in that, surfaces painted and pressed against the seal will adhere and cause seal damage. Also, to ensure the finish paint is compatible, always paint sample area to test adhesion. Finally, check your paint manufacturer’s instructions carefully for any additional recommendations and future maintenance requirements.

Some people keep their refrigerator or washer and dryer in the garage and the windows make it feel safer or more comfortable to walk into a garage.
