"Rafe Courville built a 22ftx24ft pavilion for us a few months ago. From the concrete floor to the 20ft tall pitched steel roof, it has been just what we wanted. The wooden post, beams, and railing are ideal for our needs. Very satisfied! He also built a 500ft wooden fence for us. We had him back recently to repair a hole in our main building's roof. Also very satisfied. Good price for the both. Rafe will be replacing all the cabinets in our kitchen in the near future."

"Cannot express the deep, deep gratitude for Mr. Demoine and his fantastic, expert crew! I contacted him as well as several other roofing companies immediately after the storm passed on Aug 30. He called back w/n hours to determine status and next steps. He told me he would be over as soon as he could get gasoline for his trucks; he was waiting on a promise from Mayor Cantrell to Provide gasoline two emergency and necessary companies. As he waited throughout the day for gasoline so he can get to me he called me back no less than FOUR TIMES to provide me with a status update! Who DOES that?! How many professionals have you worked with who have been so conscientious and so reliable? Well, D & D Construction destroyed and devastated that assumption. They were able to get to me on Tuesday, Aug 31 and immediately got to it and “got ‘er done!” They were so conscientious, thorough and obviously skilled that I told Mr. Demoine before he left that I had several minor and major project renovations that I had started prep for several years ago, but did not actually begin b/c I had not found the “right” company to do the work. Needless to say, I believe I have found the right company! Frankly, between me and all the great friends, colleagues and Veterans that I know who need reputable, ethical and professional grade construction work, I could keep his company employed for generations! I am very satisfied and impressed w/D and D Construction and have already recommended them to two other close friends who need exactly the same kind of expert care, concern and work ethic!"

Garages questions, answered by experts

The best paint for a garage door depends on the door's material, the desired finish, and durability requirements.

Paint Type

The type of paint you need often depends on the material of your garage door:

  • Aluminum Doors: Typically require exterior acrylic paint.

  • Vinyl and Wood Doors: Exterior latex paint is usually recommended.

  • Steel Doors: Professionals often use latex or oil-based paint.

You can choose between acrylic, oil-based, and latex paints. Acrylic paint offers excellent UV and weather resistance and dries quickly, but may require multiple coats. Oil-based paints are very durable and may only need one coat, but they dry slowly and emit more VOCs. Latex paint is available in a wide range of colors and is forgiving to apply, but it can crack over time and may require a primer for even coverage. For an eco-friendly option, consider acrylic latex paint.

Paint Finish

You have a wide variety of finishes to choose from, including semi-gloss, gloss, satin, eggshell, and matte. The choice is largely based on personal preference, but many people opt for a semi-gloss or gloss finish. These finishes dry to a hard, durable surface that stands up well to humidity and regular wear and tear.

Regardless of the type or finish, it's crucial to use a quality exterior paint that can withstand the elements. Using a primer before painting will ensure better adhesion and a more even, long-lasting result.

While it depends on door condition, the painter’s level of expertise, and weather conditions, it’s safe to set aside two to three days to complete this project, especially if you anticipate adding multiple coats of paint, which can take eight to 12 hours to dry. Your professional should be able to provide an estimate for the project timeline.

The cost to paint a garage door is usually $1 to $4 per square foot, which translates to around $120 to $500 for the average two-car garage door. This relatively low-cost painting project can greatly impact your home’s look and curb appeal, and you can save a good deal of money by doing it yourself.

Insulating a detached garage won't reduce your home's heating or cooling bills—and insulating an attached garage will only have a small effect on your home's energy efficiency. However, insulating an attached garage can reduce the transfer of heating and cooling to and from the outdoors, which can reduce the amount of energy your home needs to stay comfortable. Also, having an insulated garage is just more pleasant. Balance the cost of insulating your garage with how you'll use the space to determine if the project is worth it.

There are three ways to open the garage door when the power is out. One is to invest in a solar panel and battery system or generator backup power. Another method is to use the quick-release key to disconnect the garage door from the garage door opener. You can also use the key to your house to wait out the power outage and reset the garage door opener once the power returns.

If your garage door key is inside your home and you don’t have a spare key on hand to access your entry points, then call a locksmith.
