"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."
"Tamara with Regal is the most friendly, understanding, professional and responsive contracting project manager/designer I've ever worked with. Trust me I've worked with a few different companies in the valley on numerous projects. Tamara was able to understand what was needed and was quick to come up with innovative design decisions to ensure the project was the most current without breaking budgetary constraints. Justin at regal, the contractor who demoed quickly and reconstructed the shower meticulously was the best contractor I've had in my house, hands down! He ensured that every detail was thought through and perfectly crafted together. The final product has zero flaws due to the thoughtfulness and preparedness Regal, Tamara, and Justin had throughout the planning and construction. Couldn't have asked for a better team to work on my house!"

Right from the beginning, Eric was responsive and attentive to our requirements, while also offering valuable guidance on materials and colors. The execution of the project was superb, with remarkable speed, adherence to the schedule, and impeccable quality. Working with Eric and his team was an absolute delight, as they exhibited high levels of professionalism, precision, and kindness. Following the completion of the job, Eric took the initiative to personally follow up with us and even provided recommendations on how to maintain the floor in the best possible way. Our garage now boasts an astonishing appearance."
There are many signs that your garage door needs to be replaced, including: Visual signs of wear and tear Garage is slow to open and close or won’t open or close at all Jerky motions while operating Loose tracks or broken or worn rollers Uneven garage door when open or closed Sagging garage door Noisy operation even after lubricating the moving parts Broken or loose cords Higher energy bills, which could mean poor sealing or insulation
It is typically cheaper to build a garage than to buy a prefab one if you can provide most of the labor yourself. If you plan to hire a contractor for the entire build, a prefab garage or kit will likely be less expensive. However, even with a garage kit, you may still need to hire professionals to install the foundation, concrete floor, and handle electrical and plumbing work. If you are not an experienced builder, it can be a worthwhile investment to hire a local garage builder who can manage all aspects of the project, including coordinating other necessary professionals.
Carriage, sliding, folding, and trackless pivot doors all replace a standard roll-up door. Glass doors and roll-up screens work well when you convert the garage into living space. Match the style to your driveway clearance and climate.
Incorporating garage disinfection into your annual household cleaning routine is essential. Your garage constitutes a significant segment of your home and necessitates comparable attention to cleanliness, much like other living spaces. This becomes particularly vital since garages frequently remain overlooked and accumulate dirt and dust over time due to the tendency to fill up with old furniture, sporting equipment, boxes, and more.
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.
