Oh missed an important point, yes it is a steel building. Hopefully the building supplier (metal mart) is used to this and we can get this project going. Its amazing when they seem surprised at the request...

The progress continues and my project grew some legs. So far it is a 40' wide by 45' deep by 16' with 2 16x16 doors and 1 man door. We have some confusion on pricing by it is in the $42-45,000 range. I had to go the Mansfield to the Zoning Board of Adjustments to get a height exemption which...

Thanks for all the great comments. To make a short story long, I originally started getting fence quotes, which lead me to this guy who does buildings. The same thing is happening here with housing the concrete can’t get quick enough to the new builds and impossible to find someone to build me a...

Thanks for all the great insight! I've asked for a detailed quote on what is being replaced, which I am leaning towards doing. I need to make sure that he will truly replace everything. Regarding the openers, if he is doing 2 for $255 installed, I'm in. The tenants have been hard on things and...

I normally read the same as you do, they have a document they can sue me by. I keep a similar file from "experts" who say a repair is no warranted for the same reason.

Hello! A friend recommended this site and so far it has not been disappointing. Thank you all for the great insight. We moved into our dome 3 years ago and one thing that drove me crazy is that it does not have a garage. So my adventure begins! I just finished having a ground mount solar system...

I got an email from my tenants that the garage door is making a "grinding" sound. The garage has two single garage doors. The tech gave the following explanation, and the price seems ok. However, he was out 6 months ago and fixed a problem with the remotes but did not mention anything about the...
