Are prefabricated garages worth it?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Should a new garage with an apartment be attached or detached from the home?

• <div><p>This is a matter of personal preference. However, building a detached structure is generally considered better if you intend to rent out the new space. The advantage to going with an attached garage addition is that you may pay less for plumbing, HVAC, and other features because you can use the existing systems from your home to carry over piping and wires.</p></div>

Q: Why hire a professional to build a garage?

• <div><p>Ensures adherence to local building codes and customized designs to fit personal needs.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a remodeled garage?

• <div><p>Keep the space clean, maintain storage systems, and promptly address any water leaks or insulation issues.</p></div>

Q: How long will a garage door last?

• <div><p>How long garage doors last depends on the type of doors you buy and how well you care for them. But most often, garage doors will last between 15 and 30 years, on average. You can maximize their life span by performing regular maintenance and inspections and repairing problems immediately. A more robust material, like triple-layer steel garage doors, may even last 25 to 30 years with proper care.</p></div>

They came in examined my garage door and told me the best way they could fix it and quoted me a price. The repairmen were very curious and knowledgeable. I had them repair the door but I think they were too expensive. They said when I called them if they did the job they would take the 30...

I called in to ask for service. They had a technician out early the next morning. He didn’t have the part at the time but returned when he did. The office staff and technician were very helpful and professional. I’ll certainly be using them for all future garage door needs.

Excellent! Our house was built 50 years ago and this company built the new garage with a style and materials that made the new construction look as if it had been built when the house was. They took time to build a quality structure with no short cuts. We are VERY pleased!

Colborns was great. They understood my cocern about not having a car for work, and they took care of it. Not too many garages would have been concerned and they probably would have charged more. Colborns was fair and courteous.

They did a very good job. They were on time, and finished the job in one day. I think their price was fair, because we got a really nice door, and it works really well. They were able to give us a discount, which was nice. They made us aware of the sale that was going on for the better door....
