Customers say: True professional

"We hired McCormick Home Builders to remodel our living room, and we are beyond pleased with the result. The team was professional, worked efficiently, and Aris design ideas made a huge difference. The room feels so much brighter and more spacious. This was the best decision we made for our home, and we were already planning our next remodel with them."

"Mike is a joy to work with. He is professional, knowledgeable, and has a deep subcontractor network to draw from. His bids are transparent and you know upfront the cost of each trade, the specific scope of the project, and what his overhead+profit is going to be. I interviewed several contractors before going with Mike on two big projects, a garage-ADU conversion and a major remodel+structural modification. Some contractors would want you to pay them for an estimate/work-breakdown - look, I'm an engineer, I've worked in consulting, I would never ask a potential client to pay for my time to work up a proposal. It's part of doing business. Other contractors would just give you a $/sq ft price, not taking into account specific finishes or materials of construction. Not only is Mike honest about cost, but his experience is invaluable and he is always open to new ideas and eager to learn. Such a pleasure."

"I hired Basnett Construction to remodel my kitchen, and living room areas. They reviewed my draft plans and prepared a more formal set of plans that was submitted to the city for a permit. The project from start to finish took about six months to complete. I was quite pleased with Basnett Construction's professionalism, meticulousness, attention to detail especially in kitchen cabinet, island and new interior door installations, their efficiency, and their ability to be flexible with me in my decision making during the build process. In sum, I'd highly recommend Basnett Construction for remodeling kitchens and other similar projects. They will get the job done "right to your preferences.""

Garages questions, answered by experts

We recommend plywood and solid wood. Particleboard and MDF (medium-density fiberboard) are often too weak to hold significant loads, and could sag or deform under pressure. Plywood or solid wood are meant to last, and can handle the weight of several large items. If you want to spend a little more for a moisture-resistant material, you can consider using steel.

Wood, steel, fiberglass, and aluminum are among the top building materials for a garage. Wood is highly customizable, naturally insulative, and durable in mild climates but can be expensive. Steel is lightweight, low-maintenance, and cost-effective, but it’s susceptible to rust. Fiberglass is low-maintenance and doesn’t shrink or expand in changing temperatures, but it can become brittle and crack from prolonged high winds and sun exposure.

Unlike steel, aluminum isn’t susceptible to rust and is low-maintenance, but its ultra-light weight makes it less durable than some materials, and it’s susceptible to saltwater damage, making it a poor choice for coastal homes.

Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn’t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance.   

It’s better to build a garage than buy and install a prefabricated one. You can save money by purchasing a prefabricated metal garage kit for between $4,000 and $11,000. However, this does not include the price of labor and permits, which can account for more than half of the project cost. Building a new garage over buying a prefab garage will add more value to your home and will last longer, so it’s more cost-effective over time to build a new garage.

Your epoxy garage floors will last two to 10 years, depending on foot traffic and maintenance. Clean your floor regularly with a mop or a power washer using a diluted ammonia or degreaser solution. Use five ounces of ammonia per gallon of water or a half-cup of degreaser per gallon of water.

Also, sweep regularly, clean up any spills right away, and install mats in places where you expect the most foot traffic.
