"We used Anton and his team for remodeling our basement and garage after we had water damage. They put up replacement pieces of sheetrock which looked amazing. Absolutely no lines just perfectly level walls. Their workmanship was outstanding. The owner was on site a lot of the time and his team worked very neatly. The painting was simply outstanding. The room looks like brand new. Pricing was extremely fair especially for such quality, high end work. Anton and European Craftsman will be our only call the next time we need work done. Thank you Anton!"
"I was once told by a master stair builder that if you want to evaluate a general contractors work, look in the dumpster at the job site for an excessive amount of used caulk tubes indicating that they are covering up mistakes. Recently we completed a very challenging project that required the excavation under our old seasonal home in conjunction with a significant 2-story addition. After interviewing three reputable and recommended contractors, we decided to work with Dave Nessel, owner of Unique Construction. Dave presented a clear concise estimate of the scope for the work proposed, the costs we should expect and a timeframe for completion; all proved to be very accurate. He and his team of true artisans obviously enjoyed their work. Laughter and music would usually overshadow the sound of the power tools that were working in synchrony. The exceptional fit and finish in a clean and neat environment were easily appreciated. Dave is truly a meticulous visionary. During the project, he was never shy about recommending esthetic modifications which deviated from the architects drawings. Whether these change orders originated from him or us, they were never with exorbitant fees, but were billed for time and materials used. The final result far exceeded our expectations. My wife and I would recommend Dave Nessel and Unique Construction without any reservation. Unique Construction….minimal caulk required"
"Inson is an excellent person to work with. He puts in the time to make sure that he understands what you want and then is able to translate that into incredible design work. Every single person who has entered our apartment post-reno has commented on how amazing it looks. We were very lucky to find him and benefit from his expertise as well as the great contractor and team of builders he works with. Also, when he says he comes in on time and on budget, he means it - we had a very tight window for renovation and everything was finished on time as promised. Highly recommend."

"After a pipe burst in our home in January, we hired Gene and his crew to repair the damage in our garage, second floor bathroom and to the overhang on our outside deck. From the first time we contacted Gene for an estimate, he was prompt to respond to all inquiries. He and his crew were consistently punctual throughout the duration of their work, arriving each morning by 7:30AM. Their work was impeccable, and their clean-up job at the end of each day was phenomenal - so much so that you would not know they had been working all day. As issues arose, Gene was quick to come up with solutions and kept us apprised at all times of the situation. Additionally, it was nice to have a crew that was consistent throughout the process - comprising of Gene, his son Ryan, and a third member Cesar. Overall, we were thrilled with the quality of the work and plan on using Your Way Contractors in the future. "
"Excellent work. They scraped and painted our front steps, basement steps and railings. They “thorosealed” all the ledges on our house and replaced the shingle on the garage door roof extension. Joe stained our two front doors and they look brand new. Everything was well done and looks great. They were punctual and very professional. We have used Joe’s company before and would definitely hire them again"
"We had 7 people come out to give us quotes prior to hiring Milestone to do the job. Each company told us a different solution to the problem (water leaking into our garage from the terrace on the roof above) and the quotes were at wildly different price points. As first time home owners we were so stressed out!! Milestone came in with a reasonable price and a solution that intuitively made more sense than the rest. They offered us the option of trying a lesser expensive repair and then following up months later with a second step if the water was still coming in. The first step was the one that worked and we have not needed to spend any additional money. The work was done over a year ago and there hasn't been a drop of water in the garage since! Mik was responsive and pleasant to work with. I would absolutely hire Milestone again to do another brick or masonry job if the need arises."
"We hired Remodeling Concepts for 2 consecutive projects - building a detached 2-car garage, and converting our existing garage into living space (included relocating our shed & oil tank). We met with and got quotes from 4 different contractors, and are very happy we went with Derek. Communication was always immediate & constant throughout the entire process. His price was right, his proposed timeline was fast, and he was very helpful going back and forth with ideas. He and his entire crew were great - very professional, always on time, accommodated our last minute requests, and handled the unexpected hiccups without a hitch. We're definitely going to hire them again for future projects and highly reccommned them to anyone. -Ant & Mari "
It’s possible to use a torch to melt ice on your garage door, but we don’t recommend it. It’s very easy to bring the flame too close to the door, which can melt the weather stripping or even the garage door itself. You’ll melt ice quickly with a torch, but the damage you’re likely to cause can end up costing you a few hundred dollars to fix, which isn’t worth it. Instead, we recommend pouring hot water over the frozen area or using a less intense heat source, like a hair dryer or space heater.
It can take anywhere from a couple of hours to a day or two to clean out a garage. Times vary depending on the garage size, accessibility, and the amount and type of items that need sorting and lifting. A triple-car garage full of decades of clutter will take much longer to clear than a single garage with just a few unwanted bulky items.
The smallest size a standard 2-car garage can be is 20 feet by 20 feet, so at these dimensions, you could reasonably expect to fit two cars inside. However, it’s going to be a tight fit, especially if you have larger SUVs or pickup trucks. For smaller cars, 20 x 20 should be plenty for parking and some space to maneuver around the cars. A larger garage size would be better to ensure you have room to open the doors and transport groceries or other items around the cars.

Garage door insulation can last anywhere from 20 to 100 years depending on the type of insulation. Cellulose has the shortest lifespan coming in at between 20 and 30 years, while spray foam, mineral wool, and fiberglass can last between 80 and 100 years with proper maintenance.
Humidity plays a role in how long more susceptible insulation materials—like fiberglass—last. Once fiberglass batts reach the 15-year mark, you'll need to routinely inspect your insulation to ensure that it is in mint order.
