"We have wanted to remodel our kitchen/dining/living room space for years, but balked at the complexities involved in trying to make our late seventies split level house into a more open area for entertaining. When we finally decided to take the leap, we were so glad that we connected with Duane and H&H Contracting. Duane was prompt in consulting with us and sent us a bid within a couple of days. He had the experience to handle the improvements that we wanted to make and to suggest things that we might add to the project that would make the look of our home more polished and cohesive. Duane handled permitting, ordering materials, a whole network of subcontractors and all those things that would have stressed us to no end! The project came in very close to budget despite some subfloor issues and changes that came up along the way. We feel like we have a brand new home, and we canâ t wait until we can enjoy entertaining family and friends in this lovely space (if this pandemic ever ends!) You wonâ t regret choosing H&H to update your home!"
"They did a great job replacing the floor of our shed, which had rotted out. They were prompt, courteous, worked hard and fast and worth every penny. I would recommend them for any job."
"I recently hired Brandon at Tiny Cottage Builders to install a garbage disposal in my kitchen, and I couldn't be happier with him and his service, from start to finish, he was professional, friendly, and efficient. When I first received a call from Tiny Cottage Builders and I inquired about his services, he was incredibly helpful and patient. He answered all of my questions and gave me a clear idea of what to expect. He gave me an estimate of cost so that I could budget accordingly. On the day of the installation, he arrived right on time and got to work right away. He was respectful of my home and took care to clean up after himself. He completed the installation efficiently, and made sure to test the garbage disposal thoroughly before leaving. Overall, I was impressed with Tiny Cottage Builders' customer service and the quality of his work. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need of plumbing services, or any handyman job that you have Thanks again for a job well done! Bob Harris"
"This contractor was recommended to me by another contractor that didn’t have the time for my project.
Things that really stood out:
1. He was very thorough during our walk through and with his quote.
2. I had a vision of what I wanted and although I had pictures to help, he did a great job completing everything I asked and it was perfect.
3. The job was completed on time and was very reasonably priced.
4. When I wasn’t sure of the best product to use but knew what I wanted it to look like, he would offer options from lower priced, mid-range, and higher-end. Gave me pros and cons and left it up to me to choose, and I appreciated the options.
The job was a remodel of the living room, dining room, and entryway. He replaced four windows and the front door. Closed off one wall and made the entry on another. Replaced the entryway closet with a built-in. The walls, ceiling, and trim were updated, installed, and painted. He also did the flooring"
"Oh my! He did beautiful work for us! Very talented, skilled craftsman. Creative design ideas for all of my flooring and decking. Works hard, fast, and is very reliable. He was here when he said he would be. Even the pizza guy mentioned how gorgeous it all looks."
"Chuck did an amazing job building my fireplace mantel! All that was provided to him was a picture of what I was looking for, and he did the rest. His workmanship is fantastic, and he had unwavering patience with my questions. Chuck also offered suggestions during the process which enhanced the finished product. Love, love, love my fireplace!"
"Nice guys and fun to work with; could have done a little better job on planning but everything was acceptable and I was able to work around the little missteps."
"CMD was extremely respectful an on point, they worked with me through the whole process of remodel and the work it?s self was amazing, but great to work with and I will only be using them from now on"
"Schneider Construction was easy to have in the house, worked exactly to our specifications and finished the project with attention to every detail. Additionally, we received experienced design assistance, which was invaluable to me."
We recommend hiring a garage door professional to install a garage door opener for you. Garage door openers aren’t terribly complex, but setting them up properly, setting the lift and drop speed, and installing sensors that work correctly can take a few hours for a DIYer. The cost to install a garage door opener is around $400, and it will save you a lot of time and frustration. Garage professionals have the skills and equipment necessary to work with potentially dangerous garage door components, like springs.
The ideal temperature for your garage in the winter is between 40 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Maintaining a minimum temperature of at least 40 to 50 degrees is crucial to prevent pipes, liquids, and other items from freezing. Low temperatures can also drain your car battery, so keeping the garage stable is vital for your vehicle. While the lower end of the range protects your belongings, the higher end is based on your personal preference for a comfortable space. If you struggle to keep the temperature from dropping below 40 degrees, consider installing a garage heater.
The best way to maintain a garage door and avoid issues is to hire someone to do a garage door tune-up, check the remote opener, and service the main system components, like the springs, chains, and track. Schedule maintenance service once every two years for $100 to $200. You can also DIY garage door maintenance, like washing and waxing the door and applying lubricant to hinges and rollers regularly.
There are many signs that your garage door needs to be replaced, including: Visual signs of wear and tear Garage is slow to open and close or won’t open or close at all Jerky motions while operating Loose tracks or broken or worn rollers Uneven garage door when open or closed Sagging garage door Noisy operation even after lubricating the moving parts Broken or loose cords Higher energy bills, which could mean poor sealing or insulation
You can put sliding doors on your garage, but it’ll save you money if you install them when you’re building the garage, so you avoid removal costs for the old door. Garage doors are sectional, using vertical tracks and large springs to lift the door. These require professional removal, and the cost can quickly add up to thousands of dollars.
