Customers say: Quality work

"My husband and I are just thrilled with the finished garage/shop that Lamp built for us. We were not real sure about the design, but knew that my husband needed space to work and a place to park my car. Lamp designed and built a 3 vehicle garage with one section being a work shop for my husband. The entire staff from owner to the work crew were professional and courtesous."

"Katon and his company team at Brash Industries did a fantastic job in constructing our outdoor kitchen. The turnkey project involved demolishing an old shed and then creating in its place a kitchen that included a grill, refrigerator, sink and ample cabinet space. The woodwork is beautiful. He also made a customized bench that doubles as additional storage & it blended in perfectly. He put in several outlets as well as lights, a fan & TV. Our granite counters look great atop of bricking that he added a white German smear coating to. Roofing & gutter work was all professionally done. I canâ t say enough good things about working with Katon. He is willing to work with you to tweak any changes that arise and makes sure you are satisfied. Cost was very reasonable. We couldnâ t be happier with results. They exceeded our expectations."

"Adam showed up as promised and on time. Gave a great presentation and offered a very good price. Had samples on hand to show quality of materials. After several other companies estimates were obtained, I hired TruPro Patios. The installation crew was very good. The work performed was top notch and the crew cleaned up after the work was complete and took their trash with them when they left. Highly recommend TruPro Patios, LLC."

Garages questions, answered by experts

It is typically cheaper to build a garage than to buy a prefab one if you can provide most of the labor yourself. If you plan to hire a contractor for the entire build, a prefab garage or kit will likely be less expensive. However, even with a garage kit, you may still need to hire professionals to install the foundation, concrete floor, and handle electrical and plumbing work. If you are not an experienced builder, it can be a worthwhile investment to hire a local garage builder who can manage all aspects of the project, including coordinating other necessary professionals.

Having a garage can increase the value of your home considerably, even if the garage isn't considered living space. Many people own cars and want a secure place to park their vehicles when they are home. 

If you decide to finish your garage and convert it into living space, you may affect your home's value. The livable space may increase your home's square footage, which can help its value. But, giving up the garage space may also negatively affect the sale price of your home.

The best options for lubricating a garage door are silicone- or lithium-based lubricants made specifically for this purpose. These products are designed to deeply penetrate the door's components, such as hinges and springs, providing long-lasting protection against wear and tear. A silicone-based lubricant is an excellent choice as it also prevents rust and corrosion and performs well in extreme heat and cold.

It is important to avoid certain products. Do not use heavy, oil-based lubricants or standard grease, as they can attract dust, dirt, and other debris that may get caught in the tracks. You should also avoid using WD-40, as it can strip away any existing lubrication.

You can typically find appropriate garage door lubricants online or at a local hardware store for less than $10.

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.

Provides additional space and enhances property appeal, potentially increasing resale value.
