"Bob Bequette of Bob's Remodeling and Repair gave me a bid that was substantially lower than any other bids I received. He began the project on the expected date and did a great job. In fact, I will be using him to complete several additional jobs in my home."

"From the first day when Mr. Owens came to estimate my move I felt comfortable and that I would be taken care of very well. Due to our situation of selling our house in Butler before finding a house in Fredericksburg we were in the position that we were unsure if storage for a length of time would be needed or not. We were fortunate enough to find housing a week before our move and they were able to move us directly. The first driver, Joe, was on time and very professional throughout the process. Our household goods unfortunately did not all fit on the first truck (on Tuesday), therefore causing an overflow issue. This meant that Joe had to come back the following day (Wednesday) to finish packing up our house and then these items went into storage and would be transported at a later date on another truck, which was the only negative in my entire move. Joe then drove the first truck down and that truck was unloaded on Friday with the beds being put back together and mirrors put back on the dressers. Even through the whole overflow issues everyone was upfront and honest about all the issues that arose which I truly appreciated because I did not get any false information/reassurances about when the second shipment would arrive. I realize now after talking to my second team of movers (Alvin and Lenny - who were fantastic as well) that this networking and undertaking to ship households is very complicated and especially with overflow issues. Because of this I truly appreciate Tammy (at the home office) and Mr. Owens (my estimator) work in keeping me informed and having my second truck come within two weeks of the first delivery (this actually gave me time to unpack the first shipment before I had to deal with more boxes). The movers were wonderful and considerate that I had two young children in the house during all the loading and unloading (except for today) and I truly appreciate the way they acted!! They took care with my items and treated me with the utmost respect and courtesy that made this move a good one. The only grade that was not an A was the punctuality and this was a B because I was not prepared for the overflow situation that occurred, but the way the company handled it was very professional and honest. I would definitely move with Allied Moving Company again!!! And a huge thank you to Allegheny Transfer for all their hard work and their honestly and professionalism throughout this move.

Garage Cleaning Services questions, answered by experts

It is highly recommended to prime a metal surface, like a garage door, before painting. Primer creates a stable surface for the paint to adhere to, which helps prevent bubbling, chipping, and peeling. This ensures the paint job will last longer. Painting metal without a primer can lead to poor adhesion and allow rust to bleed through the new paint. If the surface already has rust spots, you can cover them with a zinc chromate primer before applying the final coat. While priming adds an extra step and cost, it is a worthwhile investment for a durable, long-lasting finish. For best results, also use a paint specifically designed for metal.

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.

A carriage house combines garage or storage space with living space, usually in two stories, while a garage generally does not offer any living space. Carriage houses are built with plumbing, insulation, and heating and cooling systems, which are usually features not found in traditional garages. Building codes and insurance requirements greatly differ between the two types of structures, and may make it difficult to convert a garage to a carriage house.

You’ll usually need to prime a garage floor before painting—especially if the floor is unpainted. Garage floors are made from concrete, which is porous and produces dust. The dust can contaminate the paint and cause issues with adherence. 

Primer creates a barrier and gives you a clean surface to work on. It also minimizes absorption to help give you an even, pro-looking paint job. Make sure you choose a primer that’s specifically designed to cover concrete flooring.

It can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or two to clean out a garage. Times vary depending on the garage size, accessibility, and the amount and type of items that need sorting and lifting. A triple-car garage full of decades of clutter will take much longer to clear than a single garage with just a few unwanted bulky items.
