"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!"
"Eric and his team exceeded our expectations with their exceptional work on our three-car garage. We wholeheartedly endorse him and his team. 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."
It can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or two to clean out a garage. Times vary depending on the garage size, accessibility, and the amount and type of items that need sorting and lifting. A triple-car garage full of decades of clutter will take much longer to clear than a single garage with just a few unwanted bulky items.
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.
While it depends on door condition, the painter’s level of expertise, and weather conditions, it’s safe to set aside two to three days to complete this project, especially if you anticipate adding multiple coats of paint, which can take eight to 12 hours to dry. Your professional should be able to provide an estimate for the project timeline.
If you open your garage manually, you don’t need sensors. If you have an automatic garage door opener, sensors are required by law. The federal law UL 325 mandates that all residential garage door openers in the U.S. must include sensors. Designed to prevent accidents and reduce the risk of entrapment, the sensors should be able to reverse the motion of the garage door within two seconds of detecting an obstruction. The sensors are there to keep you, your family, and your belongings safe from a door that might otherwise come down too hard or too fast.
A prefab, or prefabricated garage, requires far less construction work than one with a foundation and frame, but it’s not nearly as desirable and may not be a worthwhile option. A prefabricated garage won’t be as durable or long-lasting, and it doesn’t provide the same protection for your belongings and vehicles. Plus, you can use a standard garage for more uses—like living space—whereas a prefab garage only serves as a space for storage. Lastly, building a traditional garage will add to your home value, while a prefab garage usually won’t.
