"Josh replaced a side entry door to my garage which had rotted. It required him to remove the old door and frame and replace it with a new one. Since my house had settled from the original build (14 yrs ago), modification was necessary. Josh took his time, was fully prepared, and I have to admit, it's the best working door at my house! Very professional and pleasant, hiring Josh is a no brainer!"

"My experience with this company has been amazing! My home was damaged by a fierce tornado and I wasn't even sure they could restore it. They did that and then some! They're reliable, timely, efficient and do great quality work. My home has been restored and it's even better than it was before. Highly recommend! In a day where it's hard to find great help and reliability at a fair price, you'll find the best in B and J contractors."

"I am perplexed and frustrated that the contact person from the company did not apparently want to work with me to find the source of the leak. Initially, without examining the roof, he said he thought the step flashing on the garage roof needed replaced. That was a logical guess and the work was done in a timely manner. When the leak persisted and I had already paid 700 dollars, the same contact person backed away from pursuing the matter saying I should "check with my neighbors " in my condo community to see what they found as the source of water leakage (I mentioned other neighbors complained of leaks). I then appealed to the company's president on voice mail and a different comtact person called the next day and came and inspected the work which their company had done on replacing the step flashing. This person said he saw " voids" and reapplied new stepflashing for no extra charge. I continued to have the water leakage problem and I was turned back over to the original contact person who said he "would be happy" to help me and would be out in a couple of weeks. He did not come out so I contacted him again and he said he would "definitely" come out. That was over 6 weeks ago and he never called me back. I got frustrated and called a different company. The worker went on top of my roof with a hose spraying water on different areas and we found a window to be the source of the leak. I don't know why Bradford Xteriors (or at least my contact person ) did not want to work with me to discover the source of my problem. I hired them because of their good ratings. I would not hire them again."

Garages questions, answered by experts

The best method for painting a garage door depends on the door's design and the finish you want to achieve. For the most professional-looking finish, especially on doors with panels or intricate details, a paint sprayer is an excellent choice. It can easily get into hard-to-reach places and provide a smooth, even coat.

If you don't have a sprayer, or if your door is flat, a combination of a roller and a brush is the most effective approach. Use a roller for the large, flat sections to cover the area quickly and efficiently. For the best results, experts recommend a roller with a nap between ⅜ and ¾ inches thick; natural fibers can also help ensure an even coat.

A brush is essential for handling the finer details. Use it to paint grooves, angles, small panels, and the edges of the door where you need more control.

Regardless of the tools you use, it's a good idea to step back after the main application to review your work and use a detail brush to touch up any missed spots.

If you plan on heating your garage, you must install a vapor barrier when drywalling the garage. A vapor barrier protects your garage from frost and mold that can occur through condensation. If your garage is unheated, you don't need to install a vapor barrier. The only exception is if you regularly crank the heat in your car before getting in it. In this case, you may still want to install a vapor barrier, as your car can heat your garage.

When searching for the best pro to complete this project for you, here are a few steps you can take:

  • Get multiple quotes

  • Ask about their qualifications

  • Ask to see and verify their license and insurance

  • Get recommendations from your family and friends

  • Read reviews

Besides vetting your future pro, you also want to watch out for these red flags:

  • Rushing you to sign the contract

  • The installer does not listen to your wants and needs

  • Excessively high or low quotes

  • No written, detailed estimate

You do not need to drywall over most types of garage insulation. However, doing so can increase noise reduction, make the space more attractive, and keep children and pets from touching harmful fiberglass insulation. If you’re using cellulose or some other type of blown-in insulation (fiberglass and mineral wool are common), you will need drywall to contain the insulation material.

The life span of a newly painted garage door depends on the quality of your paint, the material of the door, and the climate you live in. If you’re confident that you’ll maintain the door as best you can, you can expect the job to last between 5 and 10 years.
