"My experience with Nick was A++ from start to finish. When we first met, he took the time to understand my project and needs and to review options. He clearly cared a lot about his work and creating a special space for my family to enjoy in our home. His prices were reasonable (I got several estimates) and he stuck perfectly to the budget we agreed to. The finished product is even more beautiful than I had envisioned, it’s perfectly finished and created a great usable space in our home. 100% would recommend Nick for any and all construction work!"

"Steven and his crew are overall excellent to work with. His carpenters, painters, and electrician did terrific work and he prices his jobs fairly and very competitively. They came in on a gut renovation for all of the finish work and did a beautiful job. The house is gorgeous. Steven is a smart, creative and lovely human being who treats his clients (or this client at least!) as the most valued person in the world. He goes out of his way to help you come up with solutions or just help you get stuff done, even if it’s outside the scope of work. He’s far more of a full-fledged and fully invested partner than a hired gun. My only complaint about HomeWork, Inc. is timeliness. One often has to follow up and stay on them to make sure the project keeps moving, and even then there are too many delays. However, that flaw is overwhelmed by the many pluses of working with Steven and his team, which is why I still gave HomeWork five stars. I would hire them again in a minute – perhaps with some built-in deadline carrots and sticks – and in fact am already working with Steven on a new major project. You can’t beat the personalized, thoughtful and quality service you will get from HomeWork."

Garages questions, answered by experts

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.

The decision on whether a garage or an extra room adds more value depends on several factors, including local market demand, location, and buyer preferences. Generally, added living space is more desirable to most buyers, and the utility of the new space determines its return on investment (ROI). Converting a garage into a livable area like a home office, guest room, or entertainment space can add significant value. An additional bedroom, especially one with a bathroom, will likely add the most value. However, adding a garage may be more valuable in areas with limited parking or harsh climates.

Carriage, sliding, folding, and trackless pivot doors all replace a standard roll-up door. Glass doors and roll-up screens work well when you convert the garage into living space. Match the style to your driveway clearance and climate.

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.

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.
