"Brian and his team did a fantastic job on our home addition. Communication was excellent from start to finish, the quality of the work was great, and they stayed on top of the timeline. One thing I really appreciated was how respectful Brian, his crew, and all of his subcontractors were of our home and property throughout the entire project. Everyone he brought in was professional and did quality work. I would absolutely use Brian again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable contractor who communicates well and does what he says he’s going to do."

"They are awesome; we actually are still using them for other projects. They also have done several other projects in the past. Their charges have been very reasonable. Their first project was completing a house siding job that another contractor walked off from before finishing. They also painted and trimmed the house as well as putting siding on the garage. Now they are doing my back patio where they are replacing the ceiling panels, painting, caulking and sealing. He also is going to replace the major trim facing the south on our house. I highly recommend him."
While it’s possible to replace your own garage door, it’s a dangerous DIY job, and the work is best left to professionals. Garage doors can weigh hundreds of pounds and are quite bulky, so maneuvering them into place for installation is a tough job. Additionally, working with high-tension garage door springs is dangerous, especially if you install them incorrectly. The labor for garage door replacement costs around $400 on average, which is a small price to pay to guarantee your safety and the security of your home.
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
One of the biggest disadvantages of glass garage doors is that they are not the best at insulating your garage. In the summer, heat can enter through the glass, while in the winter, heat can escape through the glass, increasing your electricity and gas bills as you crank up your HVAC unit. You can help mitigate the poorer insulation by investing in insulated glass and insulating your garage.
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.
