"The carpenter that did the job (Adam) was amazing. He had to expand the space for one window, narrow the space for another, and repair much cedar siding that had rotted away due to water damage. He also reshaped my patio door so it would close and lock more easily. He is a very talented carpenter and I have no qualms about highly recommending him."

I have been in the service business for over 35 years. Originally from Ridgefield CT - starting out in the moving business, learning the great value of listening and learning from customers during one of life's most stressful times. Eventually moving into corporate sales in Manhattan with long hours of commute and travel and starting a family. In 2004 I decided to explore other professional opportunities where I could have more control over my time, energy, and creativity.
"I worked with Rob about two and a half years ago on a full renovation of my apartment, including a gut-renovated kitchen and bathroom, along with updates throughout the space. From start to finish, the experience was smooth, transparent, and just easy—exactly what you hope for but rarely get in a renovation project. Rob was incredibly organized and stuck to the agreed-upon timelines, which made the whole process feel frictionless. He was also very easy to communicate with—approachable, responsive, and always willing to talk through options. What really stood out to me, though, was his ability to navigate the unexpected. As issues came up (as they always do in a gut reno), he addressed them calmly and offered thoughtful, honest solutions. At no point did I feel like he was upselling or trying to inflate the scope—there was real trust there, and that made all the difference. I highly recommend working with Rob!"

Garage building services FAQs
Building a garage requires a timeline of six to eight weeks from the permit approval stage until final finishes are installed. This period covers obtaining permits, procuring materials, and the actual construction. Delays in material shipments, contractor scheduling, or permit processing can extend the build time. The overall project timeline is also influenced by the garage’s size and design complexity, such as whether you’re adding a living space.
Building a garage with a living space, like a suite or apartment, costs $125 to $250 per square foot in addition to the cost of the garage. This adds another $60,000 to $270,000 to the total project cost and includes the design, enhanced finishes, specialized plumbing, and electrical work needed for a functional apartment or suite.
Prefab garage kits can be a cost-effective solution for basic storage needs, with prices ranging from $4,000 to $11,000 (excluding labor and permits). However, they may not add significant value to your home and might not last as long as a custom-built garage. For long-term value and durability, investing in a custom garage is the better choice.
A garage is a fully enclosed structure with walls, a roof, and a locking door. It often includes electricity, insulation, plumbing, and HVAC. A garage offers secure, sheltered parking and can increase your home's value. A carport is a semi-open structure with a roof (and sometimes walls) that provides basic protection from the elements. However, it is less secure and has less impact on the value of the home.
Concrete flooring is the most popular option for a garage. It offers an extremely durable and low-maintenance surface that withstands the weight of vehicles and heavy items. Concrete provides a solid base for additional treatments and serves as an excellent foundation if homeowners choose to upgrade the appearance or convert the space for alternative uses.
