"Mike and his team are best in the valley. They know what they are doing, are focused on customer success and go beyond the basics to make sure the details are right."
"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!"

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."
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.
You should lube your garage door components every three to six months depending on how frequently you open and close the door. Lubricant helps keep garage door components operating smoothly for longer; you can expect a much longer lifespan out of a garage door when you properly care for it, including frequent lubrication. Regular maintenance is much more affordable than the cost of replacing a garage door prematurely.
During a garage door tune-up, a pro will check and adjust your door’s components, looking for any damage and loose cables, springs, or rollers. The pro will also lubricate moving parts, like the hinges and rollers, and likely tighten some screws and bolts. They’ll also adjust the door opener’s tension and alignment to make sure it’s level. Finally, they’ll wash the door to ensure it’s clean, and test the auto-reverse mechanism to make sure it’s working as it should.
There are many benefits to painting a garage floor, especially if you use an epoxy floor coating. In general, paint makes your garage easier to clean. Since concrete is porous, it tends to absorb things like dirt, grime, mildew, oil, and grease. Paint—specifically epoxy-based paint—creates a barrier that helps you easily mop up the mess before it stains or is difficult to remove.
The most affordable way to insulate a garage involves choosing cost-effective materials like fiberglass, which comes in batts or rolls and is relatively easy to install. You can often install this type of insulation without needing to add drywall, which helps reduce costs. While a DIY approach might seem cheapest, hiring a professional installer can be highly cost-effective. Experts can accurately determine your garage's specific insulation needs and ensure the best results for your investment, often using batt insulation for the bulk of the project.
