| Damage | ZAPF solution |

|
|
| Wall damage and spalling on the exterior walls | Renovation of the garage façade: The renovation professionals repair the old plaster and then give the garage a fresh coat of paint to give it a beautiful appearance. |
|
|
|
| Defective door springs, rust on the garage door, cracks or breaks in the door mechanism | Door replacement: Almost all garage doors can be replaced relatively easily by our professional craftsmen. This means that the garage can quickly be put back to optimum use. If desired, the garage door can also be upgraded with an electric door operator or a premium sectional door. |

|
| Leaks on the roof | Garage roof renovation: To renovate the garage roof optimally, all old coating residue is first removed from the roof. Next, a new layer of insulation is applied, which is then sealed with a completely new sealant. If desired, this layer can then be supplemented with a temperature-insulating layer of gravel. An alternative to roof waterproofing: the mono-pitch roof. This is placed on top of the old garage roof, giving it a new visual accent. It is also extremely weather-resistant and easy to maintain. |

|
| Damaged floor slab and driveway threshold | Garage floor renovation: Due to constant wear and tear, the garage floor and driveway threshold are usually very worn after a few years and the structure of the surface can be damaged. This is why the renovation professionals level out any unevenness and structural damage and then seal the floor comprehensively. |
|
|
|
| Stains or flaking on the interior walls | Interior renovation: The wall and ceiling renovation is carried out by the garage experts using high-quality materials to achieve long-lasting results. The defects are removed and the interior walls are freshly painted. Note: Correct ventilation is very important to prevent mildew stains and mold. The installation of a premium sectional door and/or an eco-garage ventilator can help here. |
However, there are two exceptions where the ZAPF experts advise against garage renovation:
- Garage has structural problems
If the base of a garage gives way or has settled, the walls of brick-built garages may shift. Such structural defects can usually only be rectified at great expense.
In the case of prefabricated concrete garages, it can happen in exceptional cases with very old garages that water reaches the steel mats and steels due to massive spalling on the outer walls. If these are already corroded through, the substance of the garage is usually so damaged that it is better to replace it.
-> An analysis appointment with our experts provides clarity!
- Garage is too small
Unfortunately, some very old (small!) garages are no longer suitable for new and therefore often larger vehicles. Theoretically, it is possible to enlarge the garage by adding an extension, but the end wall limits the option of enlargement.
