Father's Day is here, and there's no mistaking the timing. Summertime, garage time, and dad time all seem blend effortlessly with each other, which is why we think a new garage door is the perfect gift for dads (and the whole house).

We know the garage is typically Dad's domain (although we certainly recognize that plenty of Siouxland moms stake their claim to that space, too). We thought we'd dedicate a post to some pretty amazing man caves and garages. It's amazing what's behind the garage doors of some of these homes.

When you want your garage door to blend in with the rest of the house, what's the best way to do it? Look to these homeowners for inspiration.

If you've followed our blog for a while, you know that we occasionally reference how much a garage door has an impact on the overall exterior aesthetic of a home. We know this to be particularly true in our areas of Sioux City and Yankton, where newer homes (those built in 1970 and later) line the street with dominating, garage-forward designs. In those cases, a garage can take up as much as 30% of a home's curb appeal, making its maintenance and design that much more important. But what if you have an older, smaller home? Does changing the garage style and color still give it the same upgrade and pop? Well, thanks to our wonderful Garage Door Design Center, you can find out almost instantly, and in many, many ways.

It's been a few months since we posted our Garage Organization: New Year’s Edition blog post. While that post may have been timed for all kinds of 2015 motivation, it's time to revisit the idea of an organized garage now that the weather is cooperating and you actually need the stuff that is stored (somewhere) in there.

Garages in Sioux City and Yankton do so much more than protect vehicles from our volatile Midwest climate, and when a workshop is one of those things, you want to make sure you do it right. Awhile back we wrote How to Make the Perfect Workshop in Your Garage, and we thought it was time to add a little more inspiration. Of course, workshops can take on several different functions depending if you are working with wood, car engines, model airplanes, small engine repair, or home decor projects. Whatever you use your Siouxland garage workshop for, it's good to keep the following things in mind.
