"Noah and his team were great. They built a master bedroom addition over our garage. Noahâ s communication was excellent, his team was always on time and cleaned up after themselves every day, and they did quality work. I would use Noah again and recommend him to anyone looking to do a home renovation project."

"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."

"I dealt with the owner Paul who really understands all homes are not alike. He gave me options and didn't try and push some deal of the month on me. He was able to custom order what I needed and install it professionally. He even painted the trim and cleaned up the mess!"

"We moved into a new home and hired Andy to remodel our master bathroom and he ended up doing this, our 1/2 bath, full bath, and created a home theater room from an unfinished space above our garage. He even added some molding in an office, since we thought he would do a much better job than what we could do. He was very accommodating, had ways to fix unexpected issues, pricing was reasonable, showed up every day (unheard of these days), and provided a very nice final product. When there was a delay in one area, he and his team would work in a different room. They were very efficient and a pleasure to work with. I would recommend for any home improvement project and will use them in the future."

"PSK Builders, Paul and Paula, are amazing! They built a 240 sq foot 3 season room addition, removed and reinforced inside walls, and refinished the walls and ceiling in our living room. We had 3 quotes and theirs was the most competitive and the most thorough. The work was done on time and within budget. No surprises. I highly recommend them. They will be back soon to continue on phase 2 of our home improvements,"

"Abdul Perry and crew did a fantastic job. Diligent workers, meticulous work. Cleaned up at the end of every day. The price was fair. They even took care of the rot around some windows and walls. No hidden fees, no unnecessary work done. We will definitely be hiring them for future projects."

Garages questions, answered by experts

Getting a garage door tune-up is worth it. Tune-ups are a form of preventative maintenance that help extend a garage door's lifespan and prevent dangerous issues, like worn springs or misaligned sensors. The cost to get a garage tune-up is far less than letting problems get out of hand and causing costly repairs—or worse—injuries.

While the benefits of garage door screens usually outweigh the downsides, there are some cons to installing one. First off, they can be quite expensive, especially if you’re having a professional install a retracting screen or a custom size screen. Second, they let fresh air and natural light in, but they also don’t provide the same privacy from people in the neighborhood that a solid door does. As you might guess, screens also won’t insulate your garage, so they’re often not usable in colder weather.

The best paint for a garage door depends on the door's material, the desired finish, and durability requirements.

Paint Type

The type of paint you need often depends on the material of your garage door:

  • Aluminum Doors: Typically require exterior acrylic paint.

  • Vinyl and Wood Doors: Exterior latex paint is usually recommended.

  • Steel Doors: Professionals often use latex or oil-based paint.

You can choose between acrylic, oil-based, and latex paints. Acrylic paint offers excellent UV and weather resistance and dries quickly, but may require multiple coats. Oil-based paints are very durable and may only need one coat, but they dry slowly and emit more VOCs. Latex paint is available in a wide range of colors and is forgiving to apply, but it can crack over time and may require a primer for even coverage. For an eco-friendly option, consider acrylic latex paint.

Paint Finish

You have a wide variety of finishes to choose from, including semi-gloss, gloss, satin, eggshell, and matte. The choice is largely based on personal preference, but many people opt for a semi-gloss or gloss finish. These finishes dry to a hard, durable surface that stands up well to humidity and regular wear and tear.

Regardless of the type or finish, it's crucial to use a quality exterior paint that can withstand the elements. Using a primer before painting will ensure better adhesion and a more even, long-lasting result.

You can expect your seal to last anywhere from 1 to 5 years. Several factors affect this—material, frequency of use, and the weather. For example, seals made from high-quality rubber are built to withstand the elements and can go the distance with a little TLC. If your door sees a lot of action or faces extreme heat or cold, the seal could wear out more quickly. Regular maintenance—like cleaning and lubrication—can make your seal last longer. And while it’s rare, a professionally installed seal on a smooth floor can potentially last up to 10 years.

There is a reason many commercial garages and storage facilities have roller garage doors. They stand out as one of the most secure options due to their unique design. The compact installation and absence of visible leverage points on the sturdy aluminum curtain make them a formidable obstacle for potential intruders.
