You should have said, "pimp my garage."
How old are you? Like 30 or somethin'? Sooo lame.

Bob Hume (RGH Deveopment)does amazing work. My garage was a good wind storm away from falling over, Bill Preston (of RGH Development) had it standing tall in a few days. 973-762-6446 |

Another vote for Bob Hume. Our garage was leaning and tilting precariously, had rotted wood, no doors, was painted turqouise and had a black roof that had been put on incorrectly by the previous owner. We kept hoping a windstorm would blow it over, so maybe homeowners insurance would pay to put it back up.
No such luck.
Bob and his guys did a great job getting it back in shape, and this is what it looks like today:
(I love my garage--I know that might sound a little crazy, but I do!) |

I was doing my impression of a teenager.
Perhaps a bit too realistic...
Cranky, who me? Never.

We also have leaning garage/rotted sill plate syndrome. How much does it run to fix? |

ours was about $7500, which was to straighten the garage our, repair some of the cinder block foundation, sister the support structures with pressurized lumber, add a couple of upper supports, replace a few clapboards. Did not include repairing the garage floor, fixing the holes in the clapboards made to accomodate the cables to lift the garage, or other needed repairs like replacing a rotted window sill. I really would like to have a new concrete floor poured.... |

To stabilize my garage to keep it from falling down--not to make it as pretty as meandtheboys'--I did it for under $3000. I think that meant new sill plates, sistering support beams, and perhaps running some beams across the ceiling to stop the bowing on two sides. |

Jerry Eger. 908-272-8493. He was actually not the lowest quote, but he had put an addition on my home, and I liked working with him then, so I went with him. (And everyone I talked to--except the $11,000 quote--was in the same ballpark.) |

We used Norm Straub 973-449-2381 to install a storage loft above our garage, put in a side door etc. He also shored up the supports, repaired a hole made by the critters etc. Nice guy, seems very honest, good work. Tell him the Holland's referred you. We have a ton more work for him to do her, maybe we'll get a discount!  |
