Customers say: True professional

"Keegan (the owner of Park Ridge Construction)was great to work with. He provided us with a fair quote for building our new 18x18 deck. He was very professional and kept in contact with us on when the permit would be ready, when the materials would be delivered, and he would be over to work on the deck. He was able to finish our deck in two weekends. He did a great job and our deck is beautiful. We will be having him work on future projects for us."

"Hixson Contracting was great to work with. They had great communication, we're willing to listen to our needs and concerns and addresses them each step of the way. They also were complete within the timeline they started with. We are very happy with our shop/garage that included cement work, pole barn to metal exterior and electrical. Absolutely recommend them and would use them again!"

"We had no idea that new sunroom could be so beautiful. My husband and I just love it. The contractor presented ideas we had never thought of, as well as the installation of remotes for lighting, heating/cooling, etc. The basic colors are grey and white, teal accents, his design idea. Installation of 8 full size double hung windows with handmade trim which tilt for cleaning."

Garages questions, answered by experts

You should tune up your garage door at least once per year to keep it running smoothly. However, if you notice signs of wear and tear, it’s wise to get a tune-up every six months. Performing regular tune-ups can help you catch small issues before they turn into serious problems. 

Although the cost of glass garage doors is a concern, a bigger concern is safety against high-wind storms and burglars breaking the glass. If you use tempered or impact glass on your garage door, it’s more shatter-resistant than standard glass. This is safer in a storm where you don’t want shards of glass flying around. However, if a burglar wants to access your garage, the glass door is easier to break into than a solid wood or metal garage door. 

It’s best to prevent cold air from entering your garage through the space underneath the garage door. Stop cold air in its tracks by adding or replacing the weatherstripping underneath the door seal. You can also add weatherstripping along the sides and top of the garage door to prevent air leakage, and it’s a relatively easy DIY fix.

The ideal temperature for your garage in the winter is between 40 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Maintaining a minimum temperature of at least 40 to 50 degrees is crucial to prevent pipes, liquids, and other items from freezing. Low temperatures can also drain your car battery, so keeping the garage stable is vital for your vehicle. While the lower end of the range protects your belongings, the higher end is based on your personal preference for a comfortable space. If you struggle to keep the temperature from dropping below 40 degrees, consider installing a garage heater.

One of the biggest disadvantages of glass garage doors is that they are not the best at insulating your garage. In the summer, heat can enter through the glass, while in the winter, heat can escape through the glass, increasing your electricity and gas bills as you crank up your HVAC unit. You can help mitigate the poorer insulation by investing in insulated glass and insulating your garage.
