"Had a GREAT experience with Coastal Home Renovations. Joe (owner) communicated with me every step of the way - they completely renovated a Jack and Jill bathroom - stayed on time and on budget (very near to original budget anyway). Very quality workmanship and everyone on the job was courteous and cleaned up at the end of each day. Highly recommend!"

Customers say: Quality work

"I had them build my beach house during Covid and I could not be more pleased with how things went. Materials and labor cost was an issue but I was kept informed the entire way on timing of the items as well as increased cost for the project. They are very quick to respond and also very polite and courteous to me and my wife. I could’ve went with a big builder in the area but would have never gotten the treatment that I did with such a caring local builder. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for any type of work and the Delaware market."

"I totally would recommend this company. Terry and his crew were punctual, neat and professional. They showed up when they were supposed too. The job took a few days to complete and the finished garage looks wonderful. New roof, windows, new doors, power washed cinderblock, painted it and built a stoop to keep the rain water from washing in. Did more than I can remember. Also helped with some things needing attention on the house. They were very polite, and cleaned up afterwards. I definitely would and will call on Diamond State again. Thank you Terry and crew. Great on cost also. Fair and honest."

Garages questions, answered by experts

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.

On average, a garage door can last between 15 and 30 years. However, this lifespan is influenced by several factors, including the quality and material of the door, local climate conditions, and how frequently it is used and maintained.

Key factors affecting longevity include:

  • Material: Wooden doors can last 20 to 30 years or more, while steel doors typically last 15 to 20 years. More robust options, like triple-layer steel, can last 25 to 30 years with proper care. The number of layers in a door also contributes to its durability, with each additional layer potentially adding five years to its life.

  • Maintenance: Regular inspections, cleaning, and immediate repairs can significantly extend the life of your garage door.

  • Usage and Climate: Doors in harsh climates or those used very frequently may wear out faster.

  • Components: Individual parts have different lifespans. For example, automatic openers may fail sooner than the door itself without regular maintenance, and garage door springs typically need replacement every 7 to 12 years.

While the door panels are designed to last as long as the door, they should be replaced sooner if they become visibly damaged, impact the door's smooth operation, or create a security risk.

Christmas lights and decorations are prone to heat and humidity damage, so keep this in mind if you store them in the garage. Put the lights in plastic bins with tight-fitting lids to keep moisture out to keep them safe until next year. 

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.

There are three ways to open the garage door when the power is out. One is to invest in a solar panel and battery system or generator backup power. Another method is to use the quick-release key to disconnect the garage door from the garage door opener. You can also use the key to your house to wait out the power outage and reset the garage door opener once the power returns.

If your garage door key is inside your home and you don’t have a spare key on hand to access your entry points, then call a locksmith.
