"Alfred was wonderful! He repaired the sliding doors in my bedroom closet that 2 other handymen were not able to do. He also hauled a heavy piece of furniture downstairs for me and removed and replaced rubber step mats on my 5 garage stairs. Noted that I had bought the wrong materials for adhesive:) He knew what was best. Don't waste your time or money, hire Cranston to do the job efficiently, I'm so thankful I did! Thank you Cranston and Alfred!"
"Rhino Construction did an amazing job changing the texture throughout our entire house. Rene was a great project manager—professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with from start to finish. He kept the project organized and made sure everything was done properly. We are very happy with the final result and would definitely recommend Rene and Rhino Construction Group for drywall, texture, and remodeling work."
"I signed the contract for the garage in April 2014. It took until September to complete the relatively simple construction. The contractors that were hired for the work (the owners only installed the garage doors) did a good job on each element when they were there. The price was reasonable and didn't change. We got a 24x24 two car garage. The problem was with the placement of the garage initially. The owner who provided the estimate did not understand the issues associated with where we wanted the garage and we had to move locations twice. Then it seemed as if work only got performed when I called and pushed for it. Even then, work was often not performed when requested. Bottom line is the work itself was done well, within cost, and the finished product is good. The management of the job was erratic at best and took months longer than necessary. I would recommend any of the performers, but would not buy from Affordable Garages again."
"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."
"Working with Will was great. He was the best as far as working within our specific budget, and always brought great ideas to the table. It was common for him to go above and beyond, and when scheduling conflicts came up, he was quick to communicate the plan forward. Anytime I have another project, he s my first call"
"Great guy and crew. He helped us design the bathrooms which we love. He added to the garage to make it a 3 car garage. Also added a covered patio. Our house is now a home. I have future project that we are going to start soon. Started working with him in 2020"
"This was the best contractor experience that I have had. Erik @ B&S steel, acted quickly looked at project, gave me a price and got the work done quickly. Very Satisfied and would recommend."
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.
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.

A garage counts toward the official square footage of a house if it is considered livable space. For a garage to qualify, it typically needs to be attached to the home and have permanent finishings like proper insulation, finished walls, and ceilings. It must also be livable year-round, which requires adequate heating, cooling, and ventilation. The exact legal requirements for what constitutes living space can vary by location.
An insulated garage door is a great long-term investment if it’s within your budget. They save energy and give the door year-round usability. In other words, the door pays for itself after a few nasty winters. Most modern garage doors already have a fair amount of insulation, so look into those options if you don’t feel comfortable splurging.
