"I hired 614 Drywall to repair cracks in the drywall of my home. They completed the job quickly and efficiently and their communication and overall customer service were excellent."
"Colorado Paradise Builders were responsive when we asked for a proposal to finish our basement. They created a thorough proposal with a price, timeline and specific details on the project. They followed through on everything in a timely manner. Everything cost what it was supposed to cost; their tradesmen were courteous and clean, and they completed the project on time. I would not hesitate to recommend them to a friend or use them again for another home project."
"We hired Galto Residential Contracting to remove the popcorn ceiling from the entire first floor of our house, plus the second floor stairway and hallway areas. I was given a competitive bid (one of four bids received) and we scheduled to work. Andy Galto and his crew arrived as scheduled, and completed to project in a workman like fashion on a timely basis. Popcorn ceiling removal is inherently messy. The real issue is in prepping the ceiling drywall for a smooth finish. The contractor worked with us to get the smooth white finish we wanted, done to our satisfaction. The premises were cleaned up at the conclusion of the project, though we still had to deal with some of the drywall dust generated though the smooth sanding of the new ceiling. Overall, we are very pleased with the work done, and at a fair price."
"My basement finishing project was seamless. After getting several bids and designs, I went with Will, who meticulously went over everything, through permits, materials, and the overall concept including pointing out things that I hadn t considered that I am so glad I did. The project turned out fabulous with no issues during the project outside of normal expected issues when working with construction. I would hire Will again for any future needs as I always knew what to expect, there were no hidden costs, and changes were flawless."
"I met Nick Noblitt for an initial quote. He quoted me for a custom garage with insulated siding and a size that was better suited for the space available. He was extremely professional, no-nonsense, pragmatic, and reasonable. His price was in the perfect place and in keeping with the market. No surprises. Iâ d like them to build a garage and sort out some other renovations on my 504 sf 1904 cottage. Iâ m looking forward to the work and partnership on my property."
"Preferred Garages recently built our garage and we couldn’t be more pleased with the entire experience. They handled everything, from the permit paperwork to the garage drawings so we didn’t even have to hire an architect. That saved a lot of money. Greg was great with his communication throughout the process. Well worth the investment and we love our new garage."
"A nine foot wall was expertly removed, and all that involved such a complex project was handled with care and skill. The work was done with excellent detail, and completed before expected time. We would gladly hire them again."
".My home needed remodeling and an upgraded electrical system. Jesse Cosme provided excellent consultation and work at a fair price. He was a true professional, treating my home like he would his own. I highly recommend Jess Cosme."
"I have a 3 horse, bumper pull trailer that was over 20 years old. The tongue metal was compromised, the spare tire mount had fallen off due to rust and compromised metal, and a metal panel on the interior gate had fallen off. I asked them to fix those problems and then inspect the trailer for any other problems. They fixed the issues, and created solutions that were cost effective and much more robust than the original design. They took care of some additional issues that I did not see, and I am confident that the trailer is much more safe for both my family towing it and the livestock inside it."
When choosing a garage door, start by considering your budget, the weather in your area, and how the door will complement your home’s look. If you’re not sure where to begin, call a local garage door company. They’ll help you figure out what matters, guide you through options, and take care of the installation.
You have plenty of options if a standard sectional door does not fit your home. Consider glass, fiberglass, sheet metal, or faux wood doors, or a folding, tilt-up, sliding, carriage, or trackless pivot style. A local garage door installer can match a style to your garage shape and size.
It’s important to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of epoxy garage floor coatings. Consider the following pros and cons of this garage addition, including the following:

On average, a garage door can last between 15 and 30 years. However, this lifespan is influenced by several factors, including the quality and material of the door, local climate conditions, and how frequently it is used and maintained.
Key factors affecting longevity include:
Material: Wooden doors can last 20 to 30 years or more, while steel doors typically last 15 to 20 years. More robust options, like triple-layer steel, can last 25 to 30 years with proper care. The number of layers in a door also contributes to its durability, with each additional layer potentially adding five years to its life.
Maintenance: Regular inspections, cleaning, and immediate repairs can significantly extend the life of your garage door.
Usage and Climate: Doors in harsh climates or those used very frequently may wear out faster.
Components: Individual parts have different lifespans. For example, automatic openers may fail sooner than the door itself without regular maintenance, and garage door springs typically need replacement every 7 to 12 years.
While the door panels are designed to last as long as the door, they should be replaced sooner if they become visibly damaged, impact the door's smooth operation, or create a security risk.
If your garage door seems to freeze every winter, you can try rubbing silicone spray or petroleum jelly around the edges and rollers of the garage door. However, it’s a good idea to avoid direct application of silicone sprays like WD40 to rubber edges, which could damage them over time. A garage door that frequently freezes shut could need a full replacement, especially if it’s showing signs of rust or other wear and tear.
