Q: Should I pay a contractor 50% up front?

• <div><p>Contractors may require a down payment before they begin a project&mdash;especially for those that require a lot of materials. Check with your contractor to see how much they require up front before signing a contract, but they should not ask for more than 50%. Never pay in full before work begins.</p></div>

Q: What is the typical duration for completing a commercial installation project?

• <div><p>Most commercial projects take 3-7 days, including curing time, depending on size and weather conditions.</p></div>

Q: Will a 20x20 garage fit 2 cars?

• <div><p>The smallest size a standard 2-car garage can be is 20 feet by 20 feet, so at these dimensions, you could reasonably expect to fit two cars inside. However, it&rsquo;s going to be a tight fit, especially if you have larger SUVs or pickup trucks. For smaller cars, 20 x 20 should be plenty for parking and some space to maneuver around the cars. A larger garage size would be better to ensure you have room to open the doors and transport groceries or other items around the cars.</p></div>

Q: How long does garage epoxy last?

• <div><p>Your epoxy garage floors will last <b>two to 10 years</b>,<b> </b>depending on foot traffic and maintenance. Clean your floor regularly with a mop or a power washer using a diluted ammonia or degreaser solution. Use five ounces of ammonia per gallon of water or a half-cup of degreaser per gallon of water.</p><p>Also, sweep regularly, clean up any spills right away, and install mats in places where you expect the most foot traffic.</p></div>

Very professional, guarantees his work, clean up his mess and cuts the fence too size and carries it to the road so it can be picked up. I would recommend Rob The Builder LLC for anyone needing any kind of fence, deck, & anything made with wood he can build it.

We asked for the fence to be close to our chain-link fence. It had a 2-foot and larger space between the fence and the chain link. It was not quite straight either. We had to tear down quite a bit of it and redo it ourselves. They may be great at power washing but not at fence building.
