"After a disappointing job by Molly Maids, I hired C&H to do the job right. Rosa worked her magic and the place sparkles! Al was very responsive when we were setting up the appt and he arrived with Rosa to go over what needed to be done. He also came back at completion and rolled up his sleeves and helped sweep out the garage. Many thanks for your hard work!"

"Dave worked diligently all day long and was undaunted by the sheer tedium of a large job assembling 2 sets of patio furniture. Pleasant and polite, clearly competent and focused on getting the work done and done well. I would hire him again!"

"I had an amazing experience with Be home Remodeling, I want to thank Josh Zack's and his team of dedicated professionals for the amazing job they did on my master bathroom. Josh?s dedication and communication was crucial in ensuring the job was done quickly and professionally. He was is always available and provided quick response! We decided to do a bathroom remodel a couple of weeks ago. The entire process was done properly and as described to me at the start. Project was on schedule and went extremely smooth. The workers and staff were really professional, polite and easy to work with. I highly recommended BE Home Remodeling and specifically Josh Zack."

"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."

"First project: I am very pleased with Repairs & Remodels On Demand (RROD). I was in the process of selling a property that was about 75 years old. The buyer's mortgage company had sent an inspector who noted several issues. Obviously I was under time pressure. RROD responded very quickly. I needed a hearth built in front of an existing fireplace. RROD advised me on what the current code requirements were. I selected material and the hearth was installed the next day. The inspector also reported six electrical issues, four plumbing issues in the kitchen and four in the bathroom. RROD repaired them all in two days. RROD sent a three man team. The timeline for the project was: Day 1, evaluate job and create estimate; Day 2, install hearth, correct electrical issues and begin plumbing work; Day 3, complete plumbing. On the fourth day I notified the buyer's agent to schedule the re-inspection; the inspection passed with no problems. Sale completed. Second project: In a rental property I own, a tenant wanted a laundry area. I had had the area plumbed but the walls had been opened to accomplish the plumbing. I needed the walls closed up, a short wall built, and the appliances installed. First day, evaluate job and create estimate. Two days later start and complete the job in two additional days. On the day after the completion, the tenant reported a problem with a door that had been installed. I went over and checked and she was correct. It was in mid-afternoon and I called RROD and reported the problem. They immediately scheduled an appointment for 8:00 AM the next morning (and repaired it on that visit). It was a small job with a small problem. The work looked very professional and the paint for the new areas matched the existing room colors. The point is, they do high quality work and they really do stand behind their work. I shall certainly use them again. I am very satisfied with their responsiveness and the high quality of work. They are easy people to work with. They came through for me. Dan"

"We CLOULD NOT BE HAPPIER with having chosen Sonny Builders for our fireplace update! Hilario, our project manager, was a trusted partner throughout the process, from the initial estimate to selecting design elements. He ensured every step of the job went according to plan from start-to-finish. Hilario's communication was impeccable, following up at each step via phone and text - he was as invested in the successful reno as we were and we're so grateful for his help! Additionally, it should be noted that EVERY SINGLE pro who was involved in this job was an ABSOLUTE JOY to work with - not only were they top-notch practitioners in their trade and craft, they are also great people. Everyone was friendly, respectful of our property, and patient with our curious puppies :-) It says a lot when the job is done and YOU MISS THE CREW - we found ourselves in that situation after work was finished. Great job Sonny Builders and thank you for the beautifully reimagined fireplace - we love it!"

"Excellent experience. Ryan was a pleasure to work with. The team added a large window to my garage, then converted a quarter of the garage into a finished room. Ryan helped design the space and completed the project in a week and on budget. Would definitely work with them again on larger projects."

Garages questions, answered by experts

If push comes to shove, and you need to manually open your garage door, then you should be able to do so. To manually open your garage door, first, make sure that the door is in the down position. You’ll need to unlock your garage door opener’s emergency release mechanism, which is typically a red robe that you can find on the carriage. Once you’ve pulled the cord, you can manually lower the door.

If your garage door is stuck in an open position, consider contacting a professional to safely release the opener.

If you plan on heating your garage, you must install a vapor barrier when drywalling the garage. A vapor barrier protects your garage from frost and mold that can occur through condensation. If your garage is unheated, you don't need to install a vapor barrier. The only exception is if you regularly crank the heat in your car before getting in it. In this case, you may still want to install a vapor barrier, as your car can heat your garage.

The best method for painting a garage door depends on the door's design and the finish you want to achieve. For the most professional-looking finish, especially on doors with panels or intricate details, a paint sprayer is an excellent choice. It can easily get into hard-to-reach places and provide a smooth, even coat.

If you don't have a sprayer, or if your door is flat, a combination of a roller and a brush is the most effective approach. Use a roller for the large, flat sections to cover the area quickly and efficiently. For the best results, experts recommend a roller with a nap between ⅜ and ¾ inches thick; natural fibers can also help ensure an even coat.

A brush is essential for handling the finer details. Use it to paint grooves, angles, small panels, and the edges of the door where you need more control.

Regardless of the tools you use, it's a good idea to step back after the main application to review your work and use a detail brush to touch up any missed spots.

Garage door sensors work by using infrared beams to detect objects in the door’s path. One sensor sends a beam while the other receives it. When the beam is broken—say, by your car or anything else—the sensors signal the door to stop or reverse. It’s all about safety and making sure nothing gets trapped under the door. If they’re misaligned, the beam doesn’t connect, and the garage door might stay open or close regardless of obstructions.

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.
