"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."
With the exception of small, lightweight torsion-spring garage doors, which can operate with one spring, most garage doors require two springs to work properly. Garage doors with extension springs always require two springs—if one extension spring is broken or otherwise failing, the garage door may open unevenly and could pose a hazard if the remaining spring fails.
The lifespan of garage door springs depends on the type and quality of the springs, the physical environment, and the level of use. In general, properly installed and maintained springs open and close a garage door around 10,000 times . That equates to around seven years if you open and close the door about four times a day. If you use your garage door more frequently, live in a very cold or humid environment that promotes corrosion or rust, or have a very heavy door, your springs may wear out faster and require replacing sooner.
The most affordable way to insulate a garage involves choosing cost-effective materials like fiberglass, which comes in batts or rolls and is relatively easy to install. You can often install this type of insulation without needing to add drywall, which helps reduce costs. While a DIY approach might seem cheapest, hiring a professional installer can be highly cost-effective. Experts can accurately determine your garage's specific insulation needs and ensure the best results for your investment, often using batt insulation for the bulk of the project.
The most common garage door material is aluminum, but the best material for you depends on your budget and location. Wood is the most expensive to repair but tends to add the most curb appeal, while fiberglass or composite doors cost less to fix.
Aluminum won’t rust, so it’s a great option if you live somewhere humid or rainy. Steel doors are durable but are prone to rust. If you live somewhere with extreme temperatures, hot or cold, you might opt for fiberglass, which won’t split if the temperatures skyrocket or drop below freezing.
Insulating an unheated garage can still be worth it. For instance, insulating an attached garage can help with heat loss from your house in general, and it can also make it easier to store electronics in your garage without worrying about them being exposed to extreme temperatures.
If you use your detached garage as a workspace, insulation can still make a difference. Plus, you can use space heaters and a window unit AC to help condition the space while you work without installing heating.
