Summer is quick approaching, and soon homeowners will be back in their yards and garages, exploring their hobbies or playing with their kids. But summer brings more than just free time – it also bring sweltering heat. If you have any hobbies that you practice inside your garage, you already know how important the temperature of the garage is to your happiness. Some garages aren’t built to the same standards as normal rooms, so the walls may not be insulated, and this can easily lead to garage being freezing in the winter and burning up in the summer. No matter how much insulation the walls have, the garage door itself is a common problem point for insulation systems – the temperature outside can seep through an uninsulated door, making it impossible to spend time in the garage comfortably. An insulated residential garage door is a simple upgrade that can not only improve your quality of life, but also save you money year round!

Although there may be no easy solution to this problem in the Charlotte area, Dr. Mary Traverse from Austin, Texas, has found a way to let pet owners take their dogs with them on errands, without placing them at risk.
