"This was the first time that I hired someone to assemble furniture for me. If I’d known that the experience would’ve been this great, I would’ve hired someone a long time ago! Cliford arrived approximately 5 minutes early - which was perfect. He carried in the bookcases from my car, moved my bed and some other items for me, and worked very hard at assembling my three items. (I’m disabled and had tried, unsuccessfully, to move everything out of his workspace PRIOR to his arrival.) He listened to me, making sure that he knew exactly what work I needed completed. He was not condescending, and had no problem answering my questions. He’s very personable, respectful, and friendly. When he came into my home, he WAS wearing a mask, which I GREATLY appreciated. He parked in the appropriate parking space, saving us BOTH a potential headache with the rental office and towing company. It is quite obvious that Cliford takes pride in his work, and in providing excellent customer service! Overall, this was an awesome experience, made possible by Cliford! Without hesitation, I would recommend him to others. I have already discussed future projects with him. I will DEFINITELY be hiring Cliford again!!! Thank you, HomeAdvisor!"

I'm a stay-at-home mother of 3 little ones! I'm looking for a few extra clients to clean for. I have references if needed. I have a clean background (willing to do any background checks). I do deep cleanings, regular scheduled cleanings or organizing. I am located in Gifford so I will travel within reason. I have experience with working with the elderly and children also, and it is a passion of mine to help those in need. Pay is flexible, asking $25 per hour.

"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."

Garage Cleaning Services questions, answered by experts

When searching for the best pro to complete this project for you, here are a few steps you can take:

  • Get multiple quotes

  • Ask about their qualifications

  • Ask to see and verify their license and insurance

  • Get recommendations from your family and friends

  • Read reviews

Besides vetting your future pro, you also want to watch out for these red flags:

  • Rushing you to sign the contract

  • The installer does not listen to your wants and needs

  • Excessively high or low quotes

  • No written, detailed estimate

If push comes to shove, and you need to manually open your garage door, then you should be able to do so. To manually open your garage door, first, make sure that the door is in the down position. You’ll need to unlock your garage door opener’s emergency release mechanism, which is typically a red robe that you can find on the carriage. Once you’ve pulled the cord, you can manually lower the door.

If your garage door is stuck in an open position, consider contacting a professional to safely release the opener.

On average, a garage door can last between 15 and 30 years. However, this lifespan is influenced by several factors, including the quality and material of the door, local climate conditions, and how frequently it is used and maintained.

Key factors affecting longevity include:

  • Material: Wooden doors can last 20 to 30 years or more, while steel doors typically last 15 to 20 years. More robust options, like triple-layer steel, can last 25 to 30 years with proper care. The number of layers in a door also contributes to its durability, with each additional layer potentially adding five years to its life.

  • Maintenance: Regular inspections, cleaning, and immediate repairs can significantly extend the life of your garage door.

  • Usage and Climate: Doors in harsh climates or those used very frequently may wear out faster.

  • Components: Individual parts have different lifespans. For example, automatic openers may fail sooner than the door itself without regular maintenance, and garage door springs typically need replacement every 7 to 12 years.

While the door panels are designed to last as long as the door, they should be replaced sooner if they become visibly damaged, impact the door's smooth operation, or create a security risk.

The decision on whether a garage or an extra room adds more value depends on several factors, including local market demand, location, and buyer preferences. Generally, added living space is more desirable to most buyers, and the utility of the new space determines its return on investment (ROI). Converting a garage into a livable area like a home office, guest room, or entertainment space can add significant value. An additional bedroom, especially one with a bathroom, will likely add the most value. However, adding a garage may be more valuable in areas with limited parking or harsh climates.

It’s important to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of epoxy garage floor coatings. Consider the following pros and cons of this garage addition, including the following:

  • Low maintenance

  • Versatile appearance

  • More sustainable
