"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!"

"The Pro Juan was knowledgeable and was able to perfectly replace both door frames. The communication was great and my tenants are finally happy with the door."
"Leroy and Wayne were both very professional and went above and beyond for my gutter replacement I needed my soffits painted on the whole house and they helped me hire a painter they have used in past to spray the paint on the soffits because they tried to brush the paint on and realized the holes to let the house breathe we’re getting clogged. That was just good honest business to do the right thing for me and lose a little income for them but give me a better result in the end. I would highly recommend these guys also because they are a family business teaching their sons the trade on the job."

"We found Ken very easy to work with and his crew and subs were professional. As my garage was built to be a woodshop we had to alter some details as we went along, but everything worked out fine. Thanks, Ken."
The style of the garage door that's best for you depends more on your needs. Are you driving in and out of the garage daily, or are you just storing tools and holiday decor there? For regular use, you'll want a door that is easy to operate and durable. If you only wish to use the garage for storage, go for a less expensive style or one that maximizes curb appeal over functionality.
Keep the space clean, maintain storage systems, and promptly address any water leaks or insulation issues.
Wood, steel, fiberglass, and aluminum are among the top building materials for a garage. Wood is highly customizable, naturally insulative, and durable in mild climates but can be expensive. Steel is lightweight, low-maintenance, and cost-effective, but it’s susceptible to rust. Fiberglass is low-maintenance and doesn’t shrink or expand in changing temperatures, but it can become brittle and crack from prolonged high winds and sun exposure.
Unlike steel, aluminum isn’t susceptible to rust and is low-maintenance, but its ultra-light weight makes it less durable than some materials, and it’s susceptible to saltwater damage, making it a poor choice for coastal homes.
Costs depend on the size of the garage, material quality, and additional features like lighting or workbenches.
On average, RV garage doors are 12 to 14 feet tall to accommodate the large vehicles. Most RVs are approximately 9.5 feet tall but can be taller due to features such as air conditioners, satellite dishes, and luggage racks
