"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."
"Francisco Garcia did an excellent job finishing our basement. The work quality is excellent. The communication and flexibility throughout the project was excellent. The project finished on time within budget with zero surprises. Any concerns that arose were addressed expeditiously and professionally. I highly recommend Colorado Paradise Builders for your next project. The building inspections were coordinated by Colorado Paradise Builders and passed easily. We learned while talking to the inspectors that we had a gift by using Francisco as a general contractor. They mentioned other people in the business may not provide the level of customer service and professionalism which Colorado Paradise Builders demonstrated on our basement finishing project. I could not be more enthusiastic with a recommendation."
"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."
"Mackenzie was an amazing contractor to attach a handicap handrail adjacent to my garage. He’s thorough and complete. He didn’t leave the job until it was absolutely perfect and I had approved. He checked in with me throughout and took into account my subtle changes. He cleaned up the job site completely overnight."
"My experience working with Greg and all of his crews for my garage addition went very well. I am very pleased with the overall process and working with Preferred Garages (demo, foundation/concrete, framing, siding, roofing, etc). I added another 17x30 ft onto an already existing 3-car garage on a new-ish home build in Castle Rock, plus increased the door heights from 7 -> 10ft. Preferred Garages was not the only contractor I shopped but they did come back the most knowledgable, by far way more experience than the others, and they were the best priced for the scope of work. The project began in late October after the usual 2 or so months to get plans drawn up, approved by the town and my HOA, and then permits issued. The new garage was completed ahead of schedule (late December). At each step of the way, Greg was available for any questions I had. Thank you Preferred Garages, really appreciate the high-quality work and attention to detail and making sure that I got the best garage a"
"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."
Carriage, sliding, folding, and trackless pivot doors all replace a standard roll-up door. Glass doors and roll-up screens work well when you convert the garage into living space. Match the style to your driveway clearance and climate.
There should not be any visible gaps between the garage door and frame. If the gap is big enough that you can either see daylight or feel a draft, this indicates a problem. Bring in a garage door professional to help you discover why the gap exists. A pro may also be able to offer suggestions for how to insulate a garage.
Garage door freezing is prompted by snowfall and freeze/thaw cycles instead of the temperature. If you get a lot of moisture around the garage door, whether from rain or melting snow, and temperatures quickly drop below freezing (32 degrees Fahrenheit) at night, that’s a recipe for a frozen garage door. Winters with steep temperature drops overnight are more likely to create this problem, especially low temperatures to sustain a freeze, so weather in the lower 20s is a common culprit.
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.
In some cases, a detached garage can be considered extra living space, but you will need to gain permission and comply with your local building code. Depending on where you live, you may need permits for a variety of installations, including electrical work, plumbing, and structural work. Many homeowners make the mistake of converting a garage into a living space without acquiring permits, which can result in hefty fines and even the removal of your hard work. Furthermore, a detached garage doesn’t add to the livable square footage of your home when it’s time to sell.
