"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."
"Qualden Construction completely remodeled two buildings on my property. They had excellent ideas for design and making the most use of the space. Their team provided quality work on time, even when the city had permitting delays. Will was a pleasure to work with and very knowledgeable. Qualden was a great company to work with."
"Steve and his team at westec helped us add an addition to our garage and the results and experience were outstanding. The actual construction took only 3 months which was way faster than I was expecting and everything was done with a very high attention to detail and integrity. We had an unrelated fire happen during the job (a dryer fire unrelated to the work) but luckily the team was there and was able to put it out and save the house from a lot of fire damage. They really went above and beyond. Would highly recommend working with westec. The process was easeful and Iâ m so happy with the results!"
"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."
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.
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.
Indoor propane heaters are safe to use in a garage. You may be able to use an outdoor propane heater inside a garage in some instances, as long as the garage door remains open and there’s constant airflow to allow the carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to escape. Other garage heaters include electric heaters and gas heaters.
Garages are often equipped with lighting, electrical boxes, and sometimes even heating and cooling, while carports rarely have utilities. A garage is an enclosed structure that can lock and usually has an automatic door. A carport is often wood or plastic and is designed only to protect a car from elements like rain, snow, and hail. Carports are commonly seen on property where an attached garage is unfeasible but can be a cost-effective solution for car protection for anyone without a completed garage.
It’s not safe to install a pet door on your garage door. Garage doors that tilt upward can roll up with your dog inside the door without you realizing it, making them dangerous and potentially deadly. Most dog doors also won’t fit on traditional garage doors, as they would need to span the panels, compromising the door’s stability.
