"Clinton Ashe of TimberWolf Contracting was immediately responsive to my initial email and provided a prompt and detailed estimate for repairs. We live in Italy currently and have renters in our home in CT and he worked with them to accommodate their schedule. His expertise and skills are appreciated by our family as well as the renters in the home. He provided regular updates and suggested items that needed repair which was very welcome as our distance from the project limits our ability to know the state of the home. I have recommended him and will continue to recommend and utilize his services for any future projects with the home. It is a special kind of relief to have found a skilled craftsman who so painstakingly coordinates with his clients and I feel so grateful to have found him."

"We hired Gove Restoration (Adam Gove) to split a larger room into a library and a mudroom. As part of the renovation, we had to move heat and electrical, close off two existing doors (one to the garage), open up walls, create a new opening, take out an old intercom, create a new entry from the garage, install built-in cubbies, and install both a hardwood and a tile floor. The area wasn't huge - but it was a total transformation. Every person that worked under Adam was professional, hard-working, and went above and beyond. Our built-ins (Tom at Village Cabinets) are beautiful. Warren, who did the trim and floors, was amazing. Their plumber came back twice in one day because we noticed when purging the system to move the heat our daughters room was too hot (totally unrelated to the project and an issue with the house). He found the valve and re-calibrated. It's obvious that Gove Restoration takes pride in their work and oversees *every* aspect of the project. I can't remember a day that Adam wasn't at our house (or a day that he didn't come at the end of the day to clean). He went over every detail of the project with us, and gave us suggestions for picking out the things that we needed to (e.g. recommendations tile sizes, patterns, etc). It should be noted that we were 2/3rds of the way through this project when the COVID-19 pandemic hit high gear. We made the decision to finish the project (same skeleton crew that had been in our house), and Adam made it so that it was completed literally a few days later (at least a week and a half ahead of schedule). They were *beyond* accommodating to our requests - I still have the image of Adam, and the sheet rocker entering with a disinfectant wipe in one hand and a vacuum or pail in another. They put up plastic sheeting and were in constant communication. I can without a doubt say that we would have NEVER had the project finished if it weren't with Gove. And I can 110% say that I will choose them for our next renovation project. As they say, you get what you pay for, and we really feel like we got the best."

Customers say: Quick response

"Guy was very professional, trustworthy and easy to work with. Best contractor we ever hired. He was flexible and offered suggestions. He was creative, adaptive and willing to complete additional work we requested once the project began. We converted an open foyer into a room, had a dormer built, house siding changed, maintenance free porch installed and custom woodworking built. Everything turned out absolutely beautiful. He has pride in his work and outstanding attention to detail. We would highly recommend Guy if you are planning on doing an addition or house renovation. We definitely plan on using him again for future projects."

Garages questions, answered by experts

It is possible to manually open a garage door. However, whether you should manually open a garage door depends on the source of the problem. If the door doesn't open because of a broken spring or cable, for safety's sake, you'll want to leave the door closed until you can have a professional inspect it and repair it. If the problem lies with the opener itself, you should usually have no problem opening the door manually.

For a garage to be included in a home's official square footage, it must qualify as livable space. This generally means it needs to be attached to the home and have permanent finishings like proper insulation, finished walls and ceilings, and adequate ventilation. To be considered livable year-round, it should also have heating and cooling. The specific legal requirements can vary by location, but if a garage is converted into a finished room meeting these criteria, it may be counted toward the total square footage.

The best method for painting a garage door depends on the door's design and the finish you want to achieve. For the most professional-looking finish, especially on doors with panels or intricate details, a paint sprayer is an excellent choice. It can easily get into hard-to-reach places and provide a smooth, even coat.

If you don't have a sprayer, or if your door is flat, a combination of a roller and a brush is the most effective approach. Use a roller for the large, flat sections to cover the area quickly and efficiently. For the best results, experts recommend a roller with a nap between ⅜ and ¾ inches thick; natural fibers can also help ensure an even coat.

A brush is essential for handling the finer details. Use it to paint grooves, angles, small panels, and the edges of the door where you need more control.

Regardless of the tools you use, it's a good idea to step back after the main application to review your work and use a detail brush to touch up any missed spots.

Electric garage doors are secure when adequately installed and maintained. They often come equipped with safety features like rolling code technology that generates a new code each time you use the remote, making it harder for burglars to intercept and duplicate. However, their security depends on factors like the quality of the door and your diligence in safeguarding remote controls and access codes. Regular maintenance, strong passwords, and adding security enhancements can boost the security of electric garage doors, making them a reliable choice for many homeowners.

You can put sliding doors on your garage, but it’ll save you money if you install them when you’re building the garage, so you avoid removal costs for the old door. Garage doors are sectional, using vertical tracks and large springs to lift the door. These require professional removal, and the cost can quickly add up to thousands of dollars.
