"I highly recommend Henryâ s Home Improvement for any of your home remodeling projects. Jim, the owner, and his crew were courteous, honest, trustworthy, and did a fabulous job. They provided a fair price and consulted me on each step of the remodel. In addition, they were respectful of my property and cleaned up each day. I attempted to remodel my bathroom by myself with disastrous results. Thatâ s when my family took me aside and said, â Hire someone Momâ . Not knowing who to call, I logged into Home Advisors and completed my request. Although I had several responses and a couple of estimates, I felt comfortable with Jim Henry. He understood my â visionâ and it didnâ t hurt that he presented a fair price for the work. After the remodel was done, I told Jim that he â made my vision come to lifeâ . My family and I are so pleased with the bathroom we are hiring Henryâ s Home Improvement for other repair jobs around my house."

"The bathroom remodel was in April 2018. The job was finished one day later than described and that was unavoidable because I live in a very old house. Larry and Augie were absolute gentlemen, talented and skillful, and the job was cleaned up every day before they left. They arrived on time, took their lunches and breaks nearly to the minute and kept me informed every day of what was happening. The family room remodel will be completed next week when the bar top is installed and this job went exactly the same as the bathroom. Tommy and Eddie were also complete gentlemen and also very skillful and creative because in this old home creativity was a necessity to overcome some obstacles. Andy, the project manager, continually made his presence known and I felt very comfortable contacting him for any thoughts or questions I had. I would most definitely use Apex again."

"Jim is quite the professional. He was prompt and explained the work to be done, how long it would take and the overall price. He met all my expectations. His helper was also polite and respectful. When the job was done you would have never known that he'd been there - he cleaned the area just as he found it. I would defintely hire him again."

"Bryan was the first one to get back to me. He explained the process, the timeline, and the cost. The project was completed ahead of schedule and the cost was very competitive. The quality of work was amazing. Bryan made the new wall look seamless and part of the original design. Bryan's customer service was excellent. When I had a question, I spoke to him directly and not an estimator or office clerk. I am very satisfied with the work done and highly recommend him. In addition to the work Bryan was responsible for, he went above and beyond and corrected a manufacturing defect with the door I selected. The manufacturer put the casing and door stop on incorrectly. He took the entire thing apart and rebuilt it properly. There was no wasted time going back to the store for a different door. It was impressive to see him problem solve, display the technical knowledge to fix someone else's mistake, and have the extra tools on hand to do it. The quality and value of Bryan's work is incomparable."

FAQs for garage building service projects in Merrillville, IN

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.
