"We hired Full Spectrum for bathroom and garage additions on our home. Working with Floyd and Suzanne was a good experience from beginning to end. Floyd was on site on most days throughout the project which was great. Communication was excellent and the sub-contractors were all great at their specialties. We would definitely hire them again in the future and recommend their services to anyone who needs this type of work."
"Highly Recommend!! Raul and his team were a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Communication was easy, and responses came quickly. Raul listened to what I was looking for mapped out the best plan to achieve my goals, brought in and managed all needed subs, and executed a high quality result in reasonable time and at fair price. Raul takes pride in his work and is respectful of my home, my time and my money. In the Phoenix/Tempe area, these guys are a diamond among the rough!"
"I purchased a mechanical awning from Awnings by Design 15 years ago. Unfortunately they have since gone out of business. One of our 2 awnings extended too far, the arms fully extended and could not retract. I did not know who I could call for assistance. We went on Angis list and Fernando from A to Z Shades contacted me about the work. I qualified him over the phone and he cited 12 years experience working on mechanical awnings. He said almost 100% it was a broken limit switch on the motor and it needed to be replaced. He provided an estimate over the phone. Fernando and associate came to our house on time and prepared with ladders and tools. He is very polite and trustworthy. They installed the new motor and tested the system. It worked just as promised. They cleaned up after doing their work. As a bonus they noticed a non automated shade was crooked. He recommended we let it sit in the sun to increase the kink. I would recommend Fernando for awnings and shade projects or repairs. Dan A."

"Mike from Smart Home was very professional . He set up my home camera network cleanly. He showed me how to use the camera app on my phone. He advised how to best set the locations. So glad I went with them. I recommend them for camera security system installs."
"Do I have to choose one word to describe? If so then I can't. There are too many positive adjectives to describe this company: Honest, detail oriented, perfectionism, respectful, superb, wonderful, amazing - Overall 10 STARS. Our journey began when we went to bid for the kitchen remodel - new cabinets, counter tops, kitchen sink, faucet, back splash and island on wheels. We had received several quotes, all outside of our budget. After emailing everyone that message, Jim was the only one who replied back and said let's see what we can do to get you within budget. What???? WOW!!!!!! What company does that? THIS ONE DOES!!! After MULTIPLE back and forths with quotes questions and renderings we were able to proceed WITHIN BUDGET. Of course we were told the cabinets would be ordered and ready by the time the project started. I will be honest and say I've heard that in the past from friends who have had their kitchens remodeled and it didn't happen. But MY OH MY OUR CABINETS WERE IN THE GARAGE DAY 3 OF THE PROJECT!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! WOW WEE!!!!!!!!! James was our guy - he demo'd and installed the kitchen by himself. He is a WORK HORSE. He never stopped except for lunch. He was respectful - told us when he was going to lunch, had ear phones on so we didn't hear music (we were both working from home at this point). Came when he said he would and cleaned up before he left. Countertops were installed EARLIER than expected. Eric who did our backsplash was just as amazing as James. I was planning on using a product that would separate the tiles but when installed on the first wall it just didn't work. Instead of just installing because the customer said so, he stopped to explain the problem and the solution. He also suggested tiny details that I myself never thought of and his suggestions and install were SPOT on. LOVE OUR BACKSPLASH!! OH Did I mention from start to FINISH - 3 and a half weeks!!!!!!!!!! WHAT!!! Now mind you ours was a small remodel but golly gee I was expecting 6 plus weeks. I honestly cannot say enough about this company and the employees. I read ALL the reviews and checked their license (IMPERATIVE when hiring a contractor). EVERY review of Jim and Regal is SPOT on. Can't wait to have them come back and remodel our master bath. There is NOONE else I would trust but them. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!"
Garage door sensors should be installed on each side of the door, typically six inches off of the ground. The sensors communicate through an infrared beam, so they need to face each other directly for the system to work properly. Make sure they’re level and aligned, and keep the area around them clear. If they’re too high or out of alignment, your garage door won’t function properly.
Garage doors are heavy and close under power, so ensuring they're safe should be one of the priorities of a homeowner. Installing at least one sensor is a good start, but it doesn't hurt to have two, especially considering you can install a secondary system for less than $100. Remember that sensors require calibration and simple but regular maintenance checks— installing them is only the first step.
When choosing a garage door, start by considering your budget, the weather in your area, and how the door will complement your home’s look. If you’re not sure where to begin, call a local garage door company. They’ll help you figure out what matters, guide you through options, and take care of the installation.
In addition to being less expensive, nylon garage door rollers are actually much quieter than steel rollers. However, many homeowners find that they wear out prematurely compared to steel. In general, more expensive steel rollers are more durable. However, their nosiness can make them less than ideal for garages that are located beneath a home's bedrooms.
For a garage to be included in a home's official square footage, it must qualify as livable space. This generally means it needs to be attached to the home and have permanent finishings like proper insulation, finished walls and ceilings, and adequate ventilation. To be considered livable year-round, it should also have heating and cooling. The specific legal requirements can vary by location, but if a garage is converted into a finished room meeting these criteria, it may be counted toward the total square footage.
