Q: What kind of paint does a garage door need?

• <div><p>The paint type your garage door needs depends on the door's material. Aluminum garage doors generally require exterior acrylic paint, while vinyl and wood doors usually call for exterior latex paint. Pros typically recommend latex and oil-based paint for steel doors. Acrylic latex paint is a great option if you need something that&rsquo;s kid and pet-friendly as well as eco-friendly.</p></div>

Q: Are new garage doors worth it?

• <div><p>New garage doors are often worth the investment because they improve the appearance of your home, make it more secure, and add to your property value. Installing a new garage door costs <b>$1,200 </b>on average, but you&rsquo;ll have greater peace of mind that your garage door will function properly and keep your home safe. If you sell your home shortly after replacing your garage door, you&rsquo;re expected to see close to a 100% return on investment, which is significantly higher than most home improvement projects and almost instantly makes the project worthwhile.</p></div>

Q: How do you burglar-proof a garage door?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: What style of garage door is cheapest?

• <div><p>Sheet metal garage doors, particularly steel and aluminum, have the cheapest materials and installation. Experienced homeowners may cut and shape the metal themselves; however, you can buy prefabricated metal from a hardware store or pay a metal fabricator to shape the metal to your specifications. Steel and aluminum garage doors can cost as little as $500 and go up to $3,000.</p></div>

They did an amazing job. John kept us well informed on his schedule and they had it completed in 3 days. Very clean and professional. When I need another structure built I will be contacting them again.

Tony did a fantastic job. We knew the size of the building that we wanted but really didn't have all the details worked out. He tolerated changes in the plan, additions of windows and doors, and several different extras. His attention to detail was impeccable. What was supposed to be a pole...

Both projects went well. Artie was very helpful and was always on top of things. He made helpful suggestions as the projects went forward. He was very flexible and when we wanted some changes or additional work it never was an issue.

Gary Sharp and his subcontractors were timely, professional, competent. I have mobility issues and they made sure to keep the site passable or they were there to assist me. We love the new addition to the property. The 'bridge' joining the garage to the house is lovely.

Once construction began they were very attentive to my needs and wants- all contracts were held to as promised. Plainly put- all work was done as agreed upon and no hidden or surprise expenses. Overall they did an exceptional job and would proudly recommend to others.
