Even older, existing garages have many items in the garage that cause the footing to be hazardous.
The doors and door components are many times very oily and greasy and also have many sharp edges that present a very real hazard to minor cuts. Sometimes it may be required that the installer go up into the attic of a home to look for some low-voltage wires or check on the framing, so they may come in contact with different types of insulation material.
