Customers say: True professional

"I used Scott's Home Renewal for a first floor renovation about three years ago, was pleased and hired them again for this. Not the cheapest contractor, but definitely the best I have used here. First class professionals; first rate subs, especially the tile and glass people The custom glass door arrived with the wrong specs, and the glass contractor got the factory to make a new one with only one day of waiting.. If you want it done right, contact Scott's."

"Easily the best experience I have ever had with a building contractor. Not only was the shed built on time and on budget, the quality was outstanding. Joe came highly recommended by a co-worker who also had a very positive experience with Cover's Construction in having a shed built. I would recommend that due to the quality of workmanship, Joe and his crew are in high demand, so you want to get on his calendar as soon as you can.

"I first contacted DeWit Roofing back in the fall of 2014.  I had some water damage on my ceilings and  had other issues with the roof in the past.  Tim came and inspected the roof, measured and provided an estimate.  He suggested that I wait until spring to replace the roof due to the pitch of my roof and the fact he did not feel he could guarantee the roof because the shingles would not have the opportunity to seal due to cooler weather.  He did offer to seal any areas that looked to be troublesome before winter.
Early this spring Tim was in touch and we scheduled a time for my roof to be replaced.  The crew arrived on time, worked quickly, cleaned up after themselves and I was quite pleased with my new roof.
Unfortunately in the process of removing the old shingles my picture window was scratched in several places.  Tim responded quickly to my concerns and after  I researched options for repairing the damage, Tim graciously authorized the full replacement of my picture window.  I was reimbursed promptly for the cost of the window.
I would not hesitate to recommend DeWit for roofing needs.

Garages questions, answered by experts

The level of insulation is determined by both the material and the thickness of the door. Some garage door materials (such as wood) have natural insulating capabilities, while other materials (such as metal) do not. No matter the material, two-layer and three-layer garage doors have a higher R-value than single-layer garage doors, as insulation is fitted between the panels. 

Having a garage installed certainly adds to the value of your home. The consideration is not whether it adds value, but for many, they want to know if adding a garage yields a return on their investment or ROI. While garages can add anywhere from 5% to 20% of the total value of your property, that doesn’t mean that they return 5% to 20% of the money invested in building them. Most homeowners build garages for a purpose but know that you can recover your investment when you sell or refinance.   

It is possible to manually open a garage door. However, whether you should manually open a garage door depends on the source of the problem. If the door doesn't open because of a broken spring or cable, for safety's sake, you'll want to leave the door closed until you can have a professional inspect it and repair it. If the problem lies with the opener itself, you should usually have no problem opening the door manually.

We recommend hiring a garage door professional to install a garage door opener for you. Garage door openers aren’t terribly complex, but setting them up properly, setting the lift and drop speed, and installing sensors that work correctly can take a few hours for a DIYer. The cost to install a garage door opener is around $400, and it will save you a lot of time and frustration. Garage professionals have the skills and equipment necessary to work with potentially dangerous garage door components, like springs.

This is a matter of personal preference. However, building a detached structure is generally considered better if you intend to rent out the new space. The advantage to going with an attached garage addition is that you may pay less for plumbing, HVAC, and other features because you can use the existing systems from your home to carry over piping and wires.
