"Living in GA - I found out in late February, my mother's house in NC - the pipe in the back bathroom under the sink had sprung a large leak and continued for nearly two weeks.  Aside from the enormous water bill, I had to call Service Master to come in and clean everything up which included tearing out all the wood flooring, bathroom tile, some of the sheet rock and the bottom wood trim.  Now for the rebuild - after obtaining estimates around the $8000 to $15,000 range which was way out of my budget - my last hope was Handy Home Helpers.  I contacted John through Angie's List, asked him if he could go to the house, work up and estimate and can we not exceed $6000.  At first, his estimate was about $2000 more than my budget but he did some finagling and worked up a deal exactly in my budget. 
John and his crew showed up on time and worked for about 8 days (we agreed this was not a rush job!) and the end result was nothing short of miraculous.  The new laminate flooring and bathroom tile is beautiful.  He installed a new vanity/sink, set the toilet, did all the sheet rock/mud work, paint and trimmed everything out - it's outstanding!  
He kept me in the loop with all the work and progress - sent pictures as well so I was informed the whole time.
I am giving John Kent and his company extremely high praise for a job well done and would recommend to anyone needing any type of construction/remodeling project done.  When time comes to remodel my house, I will gladly pay for him and his crew to travel to GA and do the work.

"Javier and his team did a beautiful job. Our old garage was run down, lots of exterior rot, busted windows, and they made it look like a brand new building! The crew was here on time every single day and worked until the job was done, not skipping around other job sites. Great skills, great communication, and we have already discussed other future projects with them."

"Task Ready Services just did a fantastic job repairing the foundation and replacing Trex on our back porch. It turned out to be a bigger project than expected but Robert just rolled with it and was a real professional always showing up on time, reliable, and is such a perfectionist. I would definitely recommend him for any job you might have."

"Better than expected! The telephone was answered promptly and courteously and an appointment time convenient for me was set up. The technician, John, actually arrived a few minutes ahead of schedule, introduced himself and promptly got to work on the door. He was obviously very knowledgeable and extremely informative as he went about his work. On top of that, he was very personable and polite. In approximately 30 minutes, John was done and on his way. Should you need any garage door service in the future I would suggest calling Precision Garage Door, I know I will!"

"Excellent work. Replaced storm door on the same day the job was requested. Very competent and made sure everything met my satisfaction. A sl8ght problem with the lower door seal came up the next morning. Called them and Jarad said they fully guaranteed their work and they would be out on Monday (called on Saturday morning)morning to correct the problem. Had some problems with the credit care payment going through the processor, but Jarad was extremely patient and cooperative in fixing the problem. Overall, I highly recommend C&S Construction & Handyman Services for any jobs you have."

Garages questions, answered by experts

Garages are often equipped with lighting, electrical boxes, and sometimes even heating and cooling, while carports rarely have utilities. A garage is an enclosed structure that can lock and usually has an automatic door. A carport is often wood or plastic and is designed only to protect a car from elements like rain, snow, and hail. Carports are commonly seen on property where an attached garage is unfeasible but can be a cost-effective solution for car protection for anyone without a completed garage. 

Adequate storage, workspaces, and energy-efficient systems are key considerations.

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.

Always lock the door that separates your garage and your home. However, garage doors are seldom entrance points for thieves. It takes quite a bit of work and noise to pry open a garage door, so thieves often opt for windows or unlocked doors. Unless they have access to the motor which controls the door, as long as it's functioning properly you shouldn't worry too much about it.

When it comes to hurricane garage doors, you don't have to sacrifice style for safety. Many manufacturers offer customization options, allowing you to design a door that not only protects your home during storms but also complements its overall look. You can choose from various materials, colors, finishes, and features to match your home's architectural style and personal taste. Whether you prefer a sleek modern design or a more traditional look, there's a customization option for you.
