"Swanick Builders were not consistent with time lines. They would make choices that we as the homeowners should have been consulted on or made. Builders made many mistakes of placement or painting wrong colors from chosen /discussed choices made by us. When talked to about this they would state its a focal point. Level of work has been found to be subpar at best, needing other professionals to come correct. Sub contractors utilized by builders were subpar putting hole in roof . all in all they should not have taken such a large job and we would not be hiring ever again. "

Here at Best Co. Exteriors, we believe in quality work. We pride ourselves in our ability to provide the exact exterior service you need to make your property shine. Every project is handled with top efficiency. Call today for an estimate. We look forward to earning your business. We have been providing quality bobcat and excavation services for 25 yrs.
"Do the Right Thing? Warren didn?t handle this properly, but I?ll let you judge. I hired him for a fixed-price bathroom remodel. Afterward, the pipes in the wall froze. I agreed to place the pipes in the outside wall with heavy insulation instead of along the baseboard, but I?m not a professional contractor. Also, the implementation was flawed: the vapor barrier was on the outside wall, trapping moisture, and the higher-grade insulation (R22) was between the pipes and the inside wall, insulating the pipes from house heat. Contractors I consulted felt this should?ve been fixed free since it was done wrong. I offered to pay for the plumbing but not the wall redo. Warren billed me $2,500 for time and materials, charging $55/hour for his worker and apprentice (110/hr). To be fair, the work looks great, and he addressed the issue quickly. Still, I don?t think I should pay twice for work done incorrectly. I hope this review seems reasonable."

"Garrett and his team removed a load bearing wall for us to create a larger living room. The job required demo, architect drawings, inspection, installing LVL beams, adding recessed lights, replacing wood flooring, and drywall. The whole job took about 4-5 weeks. Garrett walked us through the whole process and was always very prompt. If he said he would show up at 9 AM, he would show up at 9 AM. He was also very upfront about our costs?no surprises. Our new living room looks great! I highly recommend Garrett for any renovations!"

A well‑constructed, properly permitted detached garage adds between $12,000 and $36,000 to a home’s resale value. Buyers appreciate the secure parking, extra storage, and flexible workspace, so appraisers often bump the property’s value accordingly. The exact return depends on the garage’s size, finishes, and how well it matches the main house, but most homeowners see a strong ROI when the build meets local codes and passes inspection.
Yes—once it meets local building codes and you secure the proper permits, a detached garage can be converted into living space. Finishing the interior, adding climate control, and ensuring safe egress effectively increase your usable square footage, though it may not always count toward the official listing. Skipping permits can trigger fines and even force you to undo the work, so always clear plans with your city first.
Most homeowners policies cover a detached garage under the “other structures” provision, but coverage limits vary. Review your declarations page and ask your agent how much protection you have for separate structures. If the limit is lower than the garage’s replacement cost, you can raise it for a modest premium. Confirming the details now prevents headaches if you ever need to file a claim.
