"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."
"Qualden Construction completely remodeled two buildings on my property. They had excellent ideas for design and making the most use of the space.

"Iâ m very happy with the garage addition completed by Wes-Tec Builders. The work started and was completed in a timely fashion.. I was very impressed with the skill and experience demonstrated by all the sub-contractors. I will use them again and definitely recommend them."
"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."
In most cases, you do not need planning permission to change a garage door to a normal door, unless a specific restriction is present on your home’s deed. If you’re changing the door because you are trying to convert the garage into a living space, you will need to work with building control for proper signoffs to ensure your conversion meets all of the necessary construction standards.
Garage door insulation can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years depending on the type of insulation. Cellulose has the shortest lifespan coming in at between 20 and 30 years, while spray foam, mineral wool, and fiberglass can last between 80 and 100 years with proper maintenance.
Humidity plays a role in how long more susceptible insulation materials—like fiberglass—last. Once fiberglass batts reach the 15-year mark, you'll need to routinely inspect your insulation to ensure that it is in mint order.
During a garage door tune-up, a pro will check and adjust your door’s components, looking for any damage and loose cables, springs, or rollers. The pro will also lubricate moving parts, like the hinges and rollers, and likely tighten some screws and bolts. They’ll also adjust the door opener’s tension and alignment to make sure it’s level. Finally, they’ll wash the door to ensure it’s clean, and test the auto-reverse mechanism to make sure it’s working as it should.
Keep the space clean, maintain storage systems, and promptly address any water leaks or insulation issues.
The best way to prevent your garage door from freezing is to install a permanent source of heat in the garage. You can have a professional tie in your main heating system or install a ductless mini split as a standalone heating solution. You can also insulate the garage to prevent temperatures from dropping to the point that the door freezes shut.
