"Wilson pretty much built the deck and erected the Gazebo as if it were his own. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. Wilson is probably the hardest working contractor I have ever seen. If I have another project, I will not hesitate to contact Wilson and his crew."

"This is the second review I've written for John and his crew but I am happy to recommend them AGAIN! (Somehow the first review was never posted.) We had been wanting a deck/porch on our front entrance for some time but had been frustrated in finding a builder who responded to our messages. John contacted us in mid June and the work was completed by the end of June. Working with John was amazingly easy and productive. Communication was open and timely. He works very quickly and always showed up when promised, if not earlier. We especially appreciated his responsiveness to our questions and flexibility when we had special requests. I can't evaluate the literal cost vis a vis other contractors because we have no basis of comparison, but the value of the completed project exceeds our expectations. We hope he is available when we have other projects!"

"Kenny did an excellent job with design and build of the garage. He had many ideas that were critical to maximizing the utility of the space. Work was accomplished within the timeframe estimated. Overall cost seemed reasonable. Lastly he did a nice job aesthetically matching the design of the garage with the house. Would use him again."

Garages questions, answered by experts

The best paint for a garage door depends on the door's material, the desired finish, and durability requirements.

Paint Type

The type of paint you need often depends on the material of your garage door:

  • Aluminum Doors: Typically require exterior acrylic paint.

  • Vinyl and Wood Doors: Exterior latex paint is usually recommended.

  • Steel Doors: Professionals often use latex or oil-based paint.

You can choose between acrylic, oil-based, and latex paints. Acrylic paint offers excellent UV and weather resistance and dries quickly, but may require multiple coats. Oil-based paints are very durable and may only need one coat, but they dry slowly and emit more VOCs. Latex paint is available in a wide range of colors and is forgiving to apply, but it can crack over time and may require a primer for even coverage. For an eco-friendly option, consider acrylic latex paint.

Paint Finish

You have a wide variety of finishes to choose from, including semi-gloss, gloss, satin, eggshell, and matte. The choice is largely based on personal preference, but many people opt for a semi-gloss or gloss finish. These finishes dry to a hard, durable surface that stands up well to humidity and regular wear and tear.

Regardless of the type or finish, it's crucial to use a quality exterior paint that can withstand the elements. Using a primer before painting will ensure better adhesion and a more even, long-lasting result.

You can prevent your garage from freezing by applying techniques like sprinkling salt onto the garage floor, installing a garage heater, shoveling snow outside the door, and more. Additional methods of preventing your garage from freezing over is to seal all potential air gaps, replace weatherstripping, and adding insulation to the surrounding walls to keep the heat from escaping.

A prefab, or prefabricated garage, requires far less construction work than one with a foundation and frame, but it’s not nearly as desirable and may not be a worthwhile option. A prefabricated garage won’t be as durable or long-lasting, and it doesn’t provide the same protection for your belongings and vehicles. Plus, you can use a standard garage for more uses—like living space—whereas a prefab garage only serves as a space for storage. Lastly, building a traditional garage will add to your home value, while a prefab garage usually won’t.

In some cases, a detached garage can be considered extra living space, but you will need to gain permission and comply with your local building code. Depending on where you live, you may need permits for a variety of installations, including electrical work, plumbing, and structural work. Many homeowners make the mistake of converting a garage into a living space without acquiring permits, which can result in hefty fines and even the removal of your hard work. Furthermore, a detached garage doesn’t add to the livable square footage of your home when it’s time to sell.

You should tune up your garage door at least once per year to keep it running smoothly. However, if you notice signs of wear and tear, it’s wise to get a tune-up every six months. Performing regular tune-ups can help you catch small issues before they turn into serious problems.
