"Aside from the delay in making an appointment, everything went smoothly. He arrived exactly on time and cleaned up afterwards. One edge of the drywall did not hit the stud so he worked with a leftover piece of wood I had to fix that problem. All other materials were provided by them. The gap on the adjoining wall (between the wall and the garage door) was also covered. Overall I was very pleased with the work. "
"Henry and his crew were wonderful - professional, punctual, pleasant and hard workers. My husband designed and framed a fireplace/TV combo area in our kitchen. He got a recommendation for HMR Contracting from a builder in town when we saw a showcase home. Henry came by and got an idea of what the job would entail, provided an estimate, and brought his two man crew over to do the drywall over the framing/mantel my husband installed. It took them about 2 1/2 days and they did a beautiful job for a very reasonable price. They were all very nice and went above and beyond what they were asked to do - they provided design suggestions that we hadn't thought of. We'd definitely use Henry in the future for drywall work. We discovered he also does interior and exterior painting and insulation and hope to be able to call him again. "
"Bob Reule and his staff worked with me throughout the entire process, While I knew that the house needed new stucco and the color needed updating I was not certain of much else. Bob and Jay, one of his staff, were extremely helpful and patient in helping me with color choices for the stucco and the trim. As so often happens with older homes, as they progressed with the prep work, it became apparent that some other things also needed attention. I ended up replacing three exterior doors in the back of the house prior to the re-stuccoing. As a result, the Reule staff had to coordinate their work with additional workmen. It required adjustments in scheduling, but they were very cooperative in doing so. Reule did the re-framing and installation of a new side side door in the garage, replacing an old weathered door. A large bush had caused a great deal of damage to a yard wall. This caused misalignment of the side-gate and made securing of the gate difficult. Once the bush was removed, the men repaired the side wall and realigned the gate. The yard walls, bordering the front yard, were waist high and stucco. Due to time and weathering the stucco was in need of some cosmetic work. Minor repairs were done, the stucco was patched and color match the house. A stucco half wall, serving as a base for a long flower box, extended from a structural pillar near the front door along the entryway walk. It had severe water damage and "imploded" down into the base. It was decided to remove that structure up to the pillar. The structural pillar was just a few feet from the front door and had an open level portion under the eve. Pigeons had begun to roost there and were making a mess. After discussing the problem with the workmen, it was decided to extend the stucco up an additional few inches and eliminating the perching area. Problem solved (so far!). The paint mixture designed to match the stucco color, turned out to not be an exact match for the garage doors and the trim around them. It took a few attempts, but Jay kept working with it and was able to come up with a paint "recipe" that matched the stucco. Jay and the workmen were always on time, did what they said that they would do (sometimes more) when they said they would do it, stayed on schedule, were courteous, easy to work with and very helpful. Bob stopped by intermittently to see how things were going, and was kept updated through Jay, as well. While this ended up as a much bigger undertaking than I had initially anticipated, everything that was done was long overdue and with an eye on resale one day. Everyone I dealt with at Ruele Sun Corp was incredibly helpful. Bob and Jay were a terrific help throughout the process.I love how my house now looks and would readily recommend Ruele Sun Corp for re-stuccoing.

"Not blown away. I provided a good deal of information up-front: floorplans from my builder, exact measurements of room, my design preferences - including several stores I like to shop at to give her an idea of my style. After I had provided all of this, Jill said she'd have my designs to me in about 4 weeks. I did not receive them for at least 8-10 weeks, and that was after several emails to her requesting status of the project. If I wouldn't have prodded I'm not sure how long (if ever) I would have received what was promised. When I did receive my designs, they were floorplans, which was as expected. Along with a page or two of copy-and-pasted pictures of a few possible furniture selection. Which was much less than I expected. Based on the description I expected boards, with color selections, upholstery, etc. This was a big disappointment, especially after waiting 2-3 times longer than she had told me it would take."
The life span of a newly painted garage door depends on the quality of your paint, the material of the door, and the climate you live in. If you’re confident that you’ll maintain the door as best you can, you can expect the job to last between 5 and 10 years.
Whether a garage or an extra room adds more value depends on several factors, including local market demand, location, and typical buyer preferences. Generally, added living space is highly desirable to most buyers, which can make an extra room more valuable than a traditional garage. The return on investment (ROI) often depends on the utility of the new space; for example, an additional bedroom is typically more valuable than a new living room, and converting a garage into a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom will likely add the most value. A well-designed extra room can also serve specific needs, such as a home office, guest room, or entertainment space. However, adding a garage may be more valuable in areas with limited street parking or harsh climates where protecting a vehicle is a priority.
Indoor propane heaters are safe to use in a garage. You may be able to use an outdoor propane heater inside a garage in some instances, as long as the garage door remains open and there’s constant airflow to allow the carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide to escape. Other garage heaters include electric heaters and gas heaters.
Electric garage doors are secure when adequately installed and maintained. They often come equipped with safety features like rolling code technology that generates a new code each time you use the remote, making it harder for burglars to intercept and duplicate. However, their security depends on factors like the quality of the door and your diligence in safeguarding remote controls and access codes. Regular maintenance, strong passwords, and adding security enhancements can boost the security of electric garage doors, making them a reliable choice for many homeowners.
The ideal temperature for your garage in the winter is between 40 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Maintaining a minimum temperature of at least 40 to 50 degrees is crucial to prevent pipes, liquids, and other items from freezing. Low temperatures can also drain your car battery, so keeping the garage stable is vital for your vehicle. While the lower end of the range protects your belongings, the higher end is based on your personal preference for a comfortable space. If you struggle to keep the temperature from dropping below 40 degrees, consider installing a garage heater.
