"I had received several quotes for this project and I chose remodeling concepts because contracter Derek was the most organized, prepared, and professional of all the candidates. Additionally, he had the most realistic understanding of the job and its potential challenges. His price was also very fair and competitive. As the project moved forward, my initial impression was continuously validated. He persevered through a challenging permit process, never failing to communicate throughout the duration of the project. He showed up days after the permit was obtained and completed the project within a week. His crew was extremely professional and respectful of our property. Derek was on-site throughout the entire process to ensure the job exceeded our expectations, which it did. The completed project was absolutely incredible, down to the last detail. He not only has a talent for construction but he truly has an eye for design as well. The price never changed regardless of some unforeseen challenges and the communication from Derek and his partner Valerie was consistent and informative throughout the entire process. I could not imagine working with anyone else but Derek and his crew. have already asked him to work on two other projects in my home! Highly recommended A++++"
"I met with Mark once to review what I wanted in my new garage, doors/windows/electric, etc. The second meeting he had my plans with a virtual rendition. I made one or two minor changes and got my plans on my third visit. After I selected my contractor and the Town needed an additional calculation Mark turned it around in 24 hours and I was on my way to getting my building permit. The contractor didn't have any problems reviewing the plans. He felt everything was in order. I don't anticipate any problems with construction related to the plans. Mark was easy to work, he was thorough, he made suggestions. Mark turned all this around for me very quickly both times. Back in Jan/Feb when we first met and I got the plans, and then again in May when the Town required some additional information. No extra charge. Thanks, Mark!"
The first place you start with any garage remodel, regardless of the project, is with repairs. You want a stable foundation to avoid problems from arising down the road. Once any necessary repairs are addressed, you’ll want to move on to layout changes, like installing new walls, running new electric, plumbing, and HVAC to the space, if required, and then finishing work.
During a garage door tune-up, a pro will check and adjust your door’s components, looking for any damage and loose cables, springs, or rollers. The pro will also lubricate moving parts, like the hinges and rollers, and likely tighten some screws and bolts. They’ll also adjust the door opener’s tension and alignment to make sure it’s level. Finally, they’ll wash the door to ensure it’s clean, and test the auto-reverse mechanism to make sure it’s working as it should.
A traditional driveway gate isn’t your only option when installing a barricade in front of your driveway. A security gate like a swing gate, double swing gate, bi-folding gate, vertical gate, or pivot gate could work just as well as your driveway gate—if not better for your home depending on which qualities you’re after. Like sliding driveway gates, many of these alternatives work with automatic features that simplify entering and exiting your property.
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.
When you’re painting a garage floor, it’s best to use a combination of rollers and brushes. You’ll want to start with a brush, making a border around the edges where the floor meets the wall. From there you can use a roller, though some people also like to do the entire first coat with a brush because it’s easier to work the paint into the textured concrete.
