"I actually re-hired Bret Franks Construction. Bret and team initially built my house with a completion date of 2018 and he exceeded expectations. That led me to re-hire Bret to do an addition in 2019. Like with the house, Bret has exceeded my expectations with the addition. Bret was on time, on budget, and available as a resource throughout the entire project. You cannot ask for more from your home builder. If I were to build another addition or a new house, I would only make one call - it would be to Bret Franks Construction."
Jim and his team of helpers--Allen in particular--recreated my kitchen, living, dining, and laundry areas. Their first project was installing two high line toilets in the bath areas. With Jim's guidance, the decision was made to take down the two kitchen cabinets and wall that blocked the view to the living, dining and deck areas. Jim suggested the door from the dining area to the guest room be closed in so we could move the refrigerator to that area and build storage cabinets in the previous refrigerator space. It was decided that an appliance garage would be built about the counter to hide the coffee pot, toaster, can opener and two large drawers would be built below the counter to hold dinner plates, cups, saucers, bowls and other kitchen items. Instead of losing cabinet space, we added several square feet of beautiful new cabinets as well as a total of four drawers! Pull out drawers were installed in each of the cabinet areas as well as under the sink making it very easy to access the trash can and cleaning products under the sink.
Jim and Allen worked diligently to frame out the kitchen bar so that the area would be level for the granite installation. Electrical work was relocated so lights, electrical outlets and garbage disposal elements were included in the granite design. With the addition of the white Taj Mahal granite, this area is now a key focal point of the room and a beautiful design element.
Since wall space was limited in the living area, the coat closet opening was covered and the opening moved to the laundry room, thus providing much needed space for decorative accessories. Jim's experience in remodeling townhomes lead him to suggest that a vent be installed over the stove and place the microwave in the newly built cabinet.
Ceiling fans were wired in to the living room and master bedroom. Fluorescent ceiling lighting was re-routed. A rolling storage cart was created with the two cabinets that were removed from the kitchen and the property is ready for renters to enjoy the beauty both indoors and outdoors at this Segovia Lake property. Jim will be returning to do a covering for the deck once this homeowner has saved up some more money. Jim is a true professional who is honest, works hard, and gets the job done in a timely fashion with reasonable pricing. My mother and I contracted with him in 2012 in her $25,000 remodeling job. He has exceeded our expectations in both projects. He has a keen grasp of costs of materials and labor and he willingly shares his knowledge with his customers.

While it’s possible to replace your own garage door, it’s a dangerous DIY job, and the work is best left to professionals. Garage doors can weigh hundreds of pounds and are quite bulky, so maneuvering them into place for installation is a tough job. Additionally, working with high-tension garage door springs is dangerous, especially if you install them incorrectly. The labor for garage door replacement costs around $400 on average, which is a small price to pay to guarantee your safety and the security of your home.
Costs depend on the size of the garage, material quality, and additional features like lighting or workbenches.
When searching for the best pro to complete this project for you, here are a few steps you can take:
Get multiple quotes
Ask about their qualifications
Ask to see and verify their license and insurance
Get recommendations from your family and friends
Read reviews
Besides vetting your future pro, you also want to watch out for these red flags:
Rushing you to sign the contract
The installer does not listen to your wants and needs
Excessively high or low quotes
No written, detailed estimate
While you can technically use WD-40 to lube a garage door, it is not the best option since the oil it leaves behind can attract dirt. Instead, go to the hardware store and locate a lithium- or silicone- based garage grease. You can also search for garage door lubricant online; just make sure you get one that is made with lithium or silicone.
You should spray garage door lubricant on its important mechanical parts, including the hinges, rollers, springs, bearing plates, lock, armbar, and, potentially, rail. Do not lube the tracks, though you should clean these regularly for optimal performance.
