"I went with Sky Tech Builders on ADU Garage Conversion. It wasn't easy job, I had some special requests and I also contacted some other contractors, but Sky Tech Builders gave me best offer, competitive price and they knew exactly what I wanted to do. The project started on time, soon after we signed a contract. Sky Tech Builders team were extremely professional, quick, efficient and respectful to my home. They also cleaned after themselves at the end of every working day. The project was finished ahead of schedule, there were no issues, everything went perfect and final results are excellent. I am super satisfied with the final product and will definitely work with Sky Tech Builders again!"

"Having faced a leaky roof crisis during heavy rains last year, our decision to reach out to this builder turned out to be one of the best choices we made. I wholeheartedly recommend them for their exceptional service. Faced with the challenge of addressing a complex roofing issue involving both flat and slanted structures, they demonstrated unparalleled expertise. Throughout the process, their meticulous attention to detail stood out. From coordinating with skilled roofers to connecting us with a superb cabinet maker, every step was executed with precision. What truly set them apart was their commitment to effective communication, ensuring minimal disruption to our family's routine during the project. Their dedication to not just resolving the issues but doing so with a focus on quality and customer satisfaction was evident. Even during the insurance proceedings, they navigated the complexities effortlessly, making the entire experience stress-free. This builder is more than a construction service; they are a reliable partner who delivers results with an unwavering commitment to excellence."

"Gili and the team are great and really care about delivering quality results. Three weeks from start to finish my master bathroom is gorgeous! Gili is very involved with each phase and very supportive of any design requests. My bathroom was demolished to the studs. It was a big job and describe how happy I am with how everything turned out. I replaced the tile backsplash with a beautiful tile and provided us with excellent options within our budget to update our countertop. Gili also suggested upgrading the incandescent ceiling lights with new bright LED bulbs, replacing horrible fluorescent lighting and I am absolutely blown away by the difference. Our experience with Clever Design and Remodeling was outstanding from start to finish."

"Joel did a great job. Really easy to work with, price was fair and they did a professional paint job in very little time. I also appreciate that they went above and beyond by advising on paint colors and working with some last minute changes we had. I'd hire them again in a flash."

Garages questions, answered by experts

It’s possible to use a torch to melt ice on your garage door, but we don’t recommend it. It’s very easy to bring the flame too close to the door, which can melt the weather stripping or even the garage door itself. You’ll melt ice quickly with a torch, but the damage you’re likely to cause can end up costing you a few hundred dollars to fix, which isn’t worth it. Instead, we recommend pouring hot water over the frozen area or using a less intense heat source, like a hair dryer or space heater.

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.

While you can technically use WD-40 to lube a garage door, it is not the best option since the oil it leaves behind can attract dirt. Instead, go to the hardware store and locate a lithium- or silicone- based garage grease. You can also search for garage door lubricant online; just make sure you get one that is made with lithium or silicone.

The best paint for a garage door depends on the door's material, the desired finish, and durability requirements.

Paint Type

The type of paint you need often depends on the material of your garage door:

  • Aluminum Doors: Typically require exterior acrylic paint.

  • Vinyl and Wood Doors: Exterior latex paint is usually recommended.

  • Steel Doors: Professionals often use latex or oil-based paint.

You can choose between acrylic, oil-based, and latex paints. Acrylic paint offers excellent UV and weather resistance and dries quickly, but may require multiple coats. Oil-based paints are very durable and may only need one coat, but they dry slowly and emit more VOCs. Latex paint is available in a wide range of colors and is forgiving to apply, but it can crack over time and may require a primer for even coverage. For an eco-friendly option, consider acrylic latex paint.

Paint Finish

You have a wide variety of finishes to choose from, including semi-gloss, gloss, satin, eggshell, and matte. The choice is largely based on personal preference, but many people opt for a semi-gloss or gloss finish. These finishes dry to a hard, durable surface that stands up well to humidity and regular wear and tear.

Regardless of the type or finish, it's crucial to use a quality exterior paint that can withstand the elements. Using a primer before painting will ensure better adhesion and a more even, long-lasting result.

The level of insulation is determined by both the material and the thickness of the door. Some garage door materials (such as wood) have natural insulating capabilities, while other materials (such as metal) do not. No matter the material, two-layer and three-layer garage doors have a higher R-value than single-layer garage doors, as insulation is fitted between the panels.
