"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

This is a matter of personal preference. However, building a detached structure is generally considered better if you intend to rent out the new space. The advantage to going with an attached garage addition is that you may pay less for plumbing, HVAC, and other features because you can use the existing systems from your home to carry over piping and wires.

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.

Most cabinetry made for a garage will have special coatings and finishes built to withstand extreme heat and cold, moisture, pest damage, rusting, and dry rot. However, many homeowners have put their old kitchen cabinets in the garage, added a couple of fresh coats of paint, and use them for a while without too much wear and tear.

Wood, steel, fiberglass, and aluminum are among the top building materials for a garage. Wood is highly customizable, naturally insulative, and durable in mild climates but can be expensive. Steel is lightweight, low-maintenance, and cost-effective, but it’s susceptible to rust. Fiberglass is low-maintenance and doesn’t shrink or expand in changing temperatures, but it can become brittle and crack from prolonged high winds and sun exposure.

Unlike steel, aluminum isn’t susceptible to rust and is low-maintenance, but its ultra-light weight makes it less durable than some materials, and it’s susceptible to saltwater damage, making it a poor choice for coastal homes.

The smallest size a standard 2-car garage can be is 20 feet by 20 feet, so at these dimensions, you could reasonably expect to fit two cars inside. However, it’s going to be a tight fit, especially if you have larger SUVs or pickup trucks. For smaller cars, 20 x 20 should be plenty for parking and some space to maneuver around the cars. A larger garage size would be better to ensure you have room to open the doors and transport groceries or other items around the cars.
