"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

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.

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.

If you also have a standard door leading to your garage, install a robust deadbolt lock and reinforce the frame with security plates. Then, secure any windows with shatterproof glass or film to deter break-ins. Consider a smart garage door opener for your car entrance, enabling remote monitoring and control through your smartphone. Motion-activated lighting around the garage to deter intruders is a great way to amplify these security efforts. Lastly, educate your family on security practices, such as keeping the garage entrances closed and locked.

Most garage door rails are fitted for their garage door, in particular. Some manufacturers make adjustable rails, but they’re not universal.

It’s possible to use a torch to melt ice on your garage door, but we don’t recommend it. It’s very easy to bring the flame too close to the door, which can melt the weather stripping or even the garage door itself. You’ll melt ice quickly with a torch, but the damage you’re likely to cause can end up costing you a few hundred dollars to fix, which isn’t worth it. Instead, we recommend pouring hot water over the frozen area or using a less intense heat source, like a hair dryer or space heater.
