"The work that was done on the house was completed in a timely manner with above average quality work. Now that the work is completed I have water pipes that are up to code, an electrical box installed that's up to code along with new gfci breakers, and a backup generator system that will run the whole house if the power goes out. I have complete trust that any job I hire Blue Bay Construction Group for will be completed at a fair price and above quality workmanship. Raul is always available to answer any questions that I had throughout the project. After project completion the whole site was picked up and all the refuse hauled away. You never would have known there were Construction crews on the premises when they were done."

"He created and built our custom kitchen. In this kitchen, he also included a 11 foot island with a bar that I love. He's done much work around the rest of the house too. Any time I need something done, I call Troy. I would recommend them to anybody needing similar work. He works with integrity - which means to me that he does what he says and he says what he does. That is helpful in today's market, because timing and scheduling can be a pain-point with contractors sometimes. I can't think of one thing that he hasn't done to my complete satisfaction."

"I used RL Spencer for two different projects at our complex. The first one was a shingle roof project that was damaged by hurricane Milton. They crew worked tirelessly to replace the roof and were very professional and went over and above to make sure we were satisfied with the job. As a result of our first experience with RL Spencer we then hired them for a much larger project. The next project was on a three story building that needed a few trusses repaired and a few replaced. The crew was able to make the necessary repairs and replace the metal roofing as needed. From start to finish Sean, Rob and the crew at RL Spencer were professional and very easy to work with. I would definitely recommend giving RL Spencer a chance to earn your business."

"Contractor provided excellent consultation on the type of upgrades and improvements we wanted to make during our project. Jeff was excellent at suggesting improvements to our bathroom shower, entrance and new vanity and cabinets. He offered excellent contractors that we used for new granite countertops for kitchen and bath areas. He also met us at Floor and Decor store and assisted our selection of new bathroom tile and flooring that was used to replace our ugly old carpet in our living room, dining room and hallway areas. Contractor coordinated scheduling of tile, cabinet, plumbing and countertop installations with all sub contractors selected for our project. We are extremely happy with the results of their work!"

Garages questions, answered by experts

Always lock the door that separates your garage and your home. However, garage doors are seldom entrance points for thieves. It takes quite a bit of work and noise to pry open a garage door, so thieves often opt for windows or unlocked doors. Unless they have access to the motor which controls the door, as long as it's functioning properly you shouldn't worry too much about it.

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. 

You’ll find many of the options we listed at big-box home improvement retailers and department stores, as well as smaller independent floor specialists in your area. Many of these stores offer full-service installation of the products they sell, and others may offer to refer you to a trusted partner for installation.

You can also shop for these products online. We recommend shopping around to compare prices, service offerings, and reviews from previous customers to help make a more informed final decision.

If you open your garage manually, you don’t need sensors. If you have an automatic garage door opener, sensors are required by law. The federal law UL 325 mandates that all residential garage door openers in the U.S. must include sensors. Designed to prevent accidents and reduce the risk of entrapment, the sensors should be able to reverse the motion of the garage door within two seconds of detecting an obstruction. The sensors are there to keep you, your family, and your belongings safe from a door that might otherwise come down too hard or too fast.

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.
