"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."
Drywalling a garage is a smart decision if you want to protect your garage from fires, moisture damage, and exterior noise. Most garages have flammable supplies that could result in serious damage in the off chance of an accident. Drywall is fire resistant, helping to prevent fires from spreading. Not to mention, drywall can improve the appearance of a dingy, old garage.
Since garage door torsion springs have tightly wound coils under massive tension, they can cause serious injury while attempting to service them. A broken spring can also cause the garage to close rapidly, causing injuries. That’s why any adjustments or replacements of a torsion spring should only be conducted by a trained professional.
Extension springs are just as dangerous as torsion springs—especially when they break. These springs can become projectiles and may cause serious injury or property damage.
Start by assessing your needs, setting a realistic budget, creating design plans, and selecting materials. Consulting professionals for advice can streamline the process.
In some cases, a detached garage can be considered extra living space, but you will need to gain permission and comply with your local building code. Depending on where you live, you may need permits for a variety of installations, including electrical work, plumbing, and structural work. Many homeowners make the mistake of converting a garage into a living space without acquiring permits, which can result in hefty fines and even the removal of your hard work. Furthermore, a detached garage doesn’t add to the livable square footage of your home when it’s time to sell.
The decision on whether a garage or an extra room adds more value depends on several factors, including local market demand, location, and buyer preferences. Generally, added living space is more desirable to most buyers, and the utility of the new space determines its return on investment (ROI). Converting a garage into a livable area like a home office, guest room, or entertainment space can add significant value. An additional bedroom, especially one with a bathroom, will likely add the most value. However, adding a garage may be more valuable in areas with limited parking or harsh climates.
