Winter in the Brazos Valley never lasts long, but the cold fronts that roll through in December and January hit hard enough to make an uninsulated garage feel like a walk in freezer. That space pulls heat away from the rooms next to it, drives up the power bill, and makes any project at the…
A gap at the bottom of your garage door lets in far more than a little daylight, and in the Brazos Valley that opening becomes a highway for rain, dust, wasps, field mice, and the kind of humidity that ruins stored tools and cardboard boxes within a single season.
