As many of us know, many women dream of an elaborate walk-in closet. Is there an equivalent for men? We notice that man’s corresponding walk-in closet is a well-crafted garage. Whether he’s a gearhead, green thumb dad, or do-it-yourself-er, there’s no better gift than an awesome space that dad can call his: the garage. Father’s Day is almost here so now is your chance to get the garage into shape for the special dad(s) in your life.

The perfect gift for Dad doesn’t have to be a huge, complicated show. It should be something that shows you care and are grateful for him! If your dad spends lots of time working in the garage, here are a few great gift ideas!

1. Give it a good cleaning

Dad is constantly working, he’s got quite the honey-do list of things to get done around the house. What he sometimes may not have time for is the cleaning and pick-up that goes along with always having a project. A great way to show Dad you’re thankful for all his hard work is to give the garage a good cleaning. This could mean sorting his tools, washing the floor, organizing different parts, etc. A clean garage makes for a very happy dad — if he knows where everything is at. It may be best to do this with Dad’s help, you don’t want to throw away anything that may be important!

2. Add some decorations

Your dad may treat the garage as a man cave. A place of relaxation, chainsaws, cars, and man stuff. If this sounds familiar, your dad may need some man cave regalia. A sign, poster, table, koozies, blanket, etc. Everyone should be able to look and immediately know the garage is your dad’s man cave, without any doubts.

3. Add to the collection of tools

Simply put, a man never has too many tools in his garage, no matter what. He may not use all the tools regularly, but they have their time and place! That way, no project will be put on hold due to lack of needed tools. Dad can even help the neighbors with their projects! Check into the project(s) Dad is working on and see if he has all the needed tools or if any are outdated.

4. Car detailing

If your dad is a car guru, chances are he’s got a vehicle or two parked in the garage ready for work! The perfect gift will be automotive themed, especially a part for one of his cars. Summer has arrived and a deep clean and detailing for your dad’s car will be the perfect start to a summer filled with pools, lakes, and road trips!

5. New garage door or opener

If your dad is always using the garage, it’s very important that the door and opener are safe, insulated, and functional for all the projects happening inside and outside. A new garage door and/or opener are gifts that will keep on giving for years and years! Whether your dad uses the garage for all his DIY projects, a man cave, tool collection, car workshop, etc. a brand new garage door and/or opener is a great upgrade.

If you’re planning on surprising Dad with one of these great ideas and need a new garage door, call Overhead Door Company of Garden City for your garage door needs! 620-275-4602 or contact us for a service appointment!

Happy Father’s Day from everyone here at Overhead Door Company of Garden City!

For the past five years, Overhead Door has been the winner of not one, but two great honors. We are so happy and grateful to be recognized for our hard work! And we are so proud to be a leader in our industry and we hope to continue the tradition.

In 2016, Overhead Door is the recipient of Builder Magazine’s Brand Use Study and the Women’s Choice Awards.

Builder Magazine’s Builder Brand Use study is a survey of the nation’s largest homebuilders. It asks those surveyed to rank garage door brands in four categories: brand familiarity, brand use during the last two years, brand used most, and quality. The results came back and Overhead Door was No. 1 in three categories: Brand Familiarity, Brand Used Most, and Quality Rating. Overhead Door has been recognized over the last five years as a top brand in the garage door industry in at least one category! “We know consumers today have more options than ever…[the study] serves as a professional resource to help make the decision on which garage door manufacturer to consider,” says Ali Isham, marketing director for Overhead Door.

Women’s Choice Award: America’s Most Recommended Garage Doors. This award is based on a survey of thousands of women across the nation who were asked to choose the brands they would most likely recommend to others. Overhead Door has been the choice among women for over five years! Overhead Door Corporation president and CEO, Dennis Stone, “Year after year, our Overhead Door ribbon distributor family has provided the expert service and solutions to their customers that has helped us earn the Women’s Choice Award….”

A company like Overhead Door that has been around for 95 years, constantly demonstrates the importance of doing true, honest business. For all of our 95 years, we have worked to be the best and provide the most superior products and services for our customers!

Overhead Door of Garden City is proud to display the Overhead Door name and Red Ribbon of Overhead Door Corporation. For your garage door needs, call us 620-275-4602 or contact us for reliable service you can trust!

If you’re upgrading your garage door, it may be a good idea to get a new garage door opener as well. Many of the updated garage door models are heavier than in previous years and therefore will need a more powerful garage door opener. You want an opener that gets the job done, but not one that’s going to break the bank! It’s all about finding that happy medium of quality and cost.

Most people don’t think about the garage door opener — until it needs fixing or replaced. Below is a breakdown of different factors involved in the purchase of a new garage door opener.

Style & Function

At Overhead Door of Garden City, we offer three types of openers: Screw Drive, Belt Drive, and Chain Drive. All are good options, but each has benefits depending on the type of garage door it will be lifting. Important details of your garage door you’ll need to know are the height and width, insulation material, and construction material.

Horse Power

The correct amount of horse power needed for each door depends on your garage door and how you’d like your garage door opener to perform. The horse power you need will depend on the size of your garage door, the weight, and the opener speed — how quickly you’d like the garage door to open.

Drive type and horse power are two of the main factors included in choosing a garage door opener. Other optional features cover the light-type in the opener, motion-sensing options, and keyless entry pad. Of course, not to forget items like price, warranty, dimensions, etc.

Overhead Door of Garden City has a wonderful selection of garage door openers, perfect for all garage doors! If you know you’re in need of a new opener but still have some questions, give us a call 620-275-4602 or contact us and we will help you find the perfect garage door opener!

What’s New at Overhead Door of Garden City? Introducing the brand new Garage Door Opener App: OHD Anywhere™. This brand new app will leave you with contentment and an increased sense of security. With the OHD Anywhere™ app, you can supervise and control your garage door from anywhere in the world using your smart device.

If you’ve ever left the house only to get to your destination and wonder if you left the garage garage door open, this is the perfect app for you!

You can double check if your garage door is open, closed, or if there are any changes to the door position. The app allows you to always know if your garage door is moving. You have the ability to check the status of your door as well as open or close the door for whatever you may need: a delivery, repair services, or friends and family that cannot access to your garage.

The OHD Anywhere™ uses door-mounted sensors that constantly monitor the garage door’s position. Most monitoring systems use sensors attached to the opener which signals the homeowner if the garage is electronically used, but they do not account for manual use. OHD Anywhere™ monitors the position, both electronically and manually altered, for more information and more safety.

OHD Anywhere™ can control up to three garage doors from all locations using your home’s Wi-Fi connection. The app can be downloaded for free and is compatible with most Apple and Android devices.

Here at Overhead Door of Garden City, we care about your home and the safety of your home. The OHD Anywhere™ App can ease any concerns you may have. Plus, the ability to control your garage door is in the palm of your hand!

Overhead Door of Garden City would like to help make your garage more secure with OHD Anywhere™. This technology can be used with many garage door openers produced after 1993. If you would like an increased sense of security and to know for sure your home is not unintentionally open to unwelcome guests, call us 620-275-4602 or contact us for any of your service needs!
