"This service was exactly what I was looking for. I wasn't confident about choosing the new look for my living room. I wasn't sure what my "style" was, and what would look good together. I needed a consultant to let me know if the items I was considering would look good together. Amanda called me and we talked about what I liked/didnt like. She had me post pictures from Pinterest and Houzz of rooms I liked. From that she was able to tell me what my style was. She noticed things I never realized before. For example I apparently picked the exact style couch in every picture I posted. As I found furniture I liked I would send her photos and she would let me know if she thought they would go good together. For example she recomended a different coffee table - i needed one that was more substantial to balance the size of the sofa. She also helped me fine-tune the paint colors for my walls - I thought this was the hardest part of designing the room, but I love the results. I was basically looking for someone to guide my choices, but they will also modify their level of service depending on what you need (cost varies depending on service needed). I would positively use them again!! "
"Very professional, timely, and great to interact with. The work was done fast, looks great, and was very affordable. Overall very happy with Brandon. I would definitely recommend this business to anyone in need!"
"Excellent - I ended up hiring someone to help with shopping and finishing piece - waste of time and money. Jill's service was by far the most useful and best value in my decorating process. "
"Andy from Aqua Terra Sand Blasting is the best! First off we needed to get some old brown paint off a 50 year old cabin up in Maine and Andy was there to help. Now, Aqua Terra Sand Blasting is different from your regular old sand blasting technique. Andy uses recycled glass, which is much more cleaner and environmentally friendly than just using sand. Andy came out right on time and was done within two days and the cabin looked spectacular!! We had no idea how amazing the wood looked underneath that old brown paint. I would definitely recommend Aqua Terra Sand Blasting for any of your cleaning needs."
"Great very punctual and caring overall fantastic have never hired a better crew will definitely hire them for all my home repairs they go about and beyond"
"I worked with Mark who made sure my family had a safe and to code chimney. He even came back to not only make sure everything was set right, but even taught me how to light a wood stove. As a Floridian, it was very much appreciated"
The average cost to install a new garage door is around $1,224, with most homeowners paying between $755 and $1,696. However, the total price can range from $250 to as high as $4,500 depending on several factors. Key cost drivers include the door's size, type, style, and material. For instance, wood or wood composite doors are typically more expensive than vinyl or aluminum options. Insulation also affects the price. Labor costs are often bundled into the total price, but if billed separately, can range from $200 to $500. Due to the complexity and danger, professional installation is recommended.
Sliding garage doors aren’t popular because when they can be inconvenient—they require you to leave your car—if they’re manual. But, if they’re automatic, they’re much more expensive than a conventional tilting door. Some find the sliding door less aesthetically pleasing than a tilting or barn door.
An average two-car garage size is about 580 square feet. A common dimension for a two-car garage is 24-feet deep by 24-feet wide, as measured by the interior width. However, the manufacturing of larger vehicle sizes means many homeowners want to build bigger garages. It’s not uncommon for a two-car garage to be 30-feet by 30-feet.
If you're cleaning out your garage, taking everything out first and starting with a clean slate can help. Reviewing what you have and what you want to get rid of makes organizing your garage, thoroughly cleaning the space, and making any repairs easier. When you put back the items you’re keeping, use designated storage solutions to make it easier to find things and keep them tidy.
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.
