"This contractor is great! He works very hard, always pleasant and responsive. He keeps the work area tidy and has been very careful with our landscaping. The deck project is shaping up fast and he has made some construction suggestions that are valuable. I would definitely hire him again and would have no hesitation recommending Robert Almekinder Construction to our neighbors and friends."

Additional email - rmblaski@tailoredliving.com. Additional DBAs - Tailored Living featuring PremierGarage, Independently owned and operated. Additional contact name - Merry Blaski. We have a ASID, NCIDQ certified professional designer and space planner to help with your Closet, Home Office, Laundry/Mudroom, Pantry, Entertainment Center and Wall Bed designing. We are specialists in using Wall Beads to help create that Multi-use Room--Home Office, Craft, etc./Guest Room. Why let a guest bed take up the entire room when there are no guests? We can help turn that room into the Home Office/Craft Room by day and pull down the wall bed for when guests are there at night. Closets -most often, we can increase useful space in your closet substantially. Our designer will show you how to increase your hanging area and perhaps make room for a built in hamper or possibly some drawers. We will measure the area you would like addressed and then sit with you at our computer in your home. Together we will design a closet that is tailored to the way you use it, not just put up some hanging rods and shelves. You will have designs in front of you that can be altered with the click of a mouse, until there is a design that works for you and your budget. When you are ready for the work to be done, you will have access to our wardrobe racks, you wont be forced to have the clothes from your closets, laying across the guest bed until the tear out, painting and installation are complete. Garages -we are the leaders in garage enhancement, designing storage around 'YOUR' needs and not just selling cabinetry. It may be you only need a few overhead storage racks to get the bulky items off the floor, or possibly some wall grids to hang your sports and yard equipment. Floor coating - coating the floor of the garage is a great way to clean up the appearance. In most cases, the garage door to the house is the main entrance to your home, the actual front door is used only when the doorbell rings. The finished floor is easy to clean, sweep or blow out, as the top coating is a non porous surface, so anything spilled on it will just sit on top until you wipe it off. All those unsightly oil/grease stains and paint spills that have happened over the years, will have been cleaned off an covered. You have now, with the floor coatings,made your garage feel more like a room than a garage. A cleaner place to have the kids play or even use as a larger gathering area. Man cave - creating that 'MAN CAVE' out of your garage, using great looking and functional storage, providing a place for the Flat Screen TV as well as an area for your gym equipment is very rewarding. You can create a place to have the guys over to watch the games, tool around on the cars or motorcycles or just have "your" place to workout. We offer the "PREMIER EXPERIENCE". We can arrange to have all of your belongings moved from your garage and stored on site in a secure container if you choose. We will remove any cabinetry or shelving that is no longer needed, patch all the walls and paint if that is your desire. We can then help after the job is complete, organize the items that will be coming back into the garage, and cart off the unwanted items to either Habitat for Humanity or the land fill. That is the "PREMIER EXPERIENCE". All of our work is done in-house. We do not send a salesperson to your home, only to push a product, collect a contract and check,and then send someone else you have never seen before into your home to do the work. We do NOT use sub-contractors to do our work. We carry a General Contractor's License #744431. We are Fully insured and bonded. We have many references available, possibly from your own neighborhood. Many of which will open their homes to you to show off what we have done for them.

FAQs for garage building service projects in San Luis Obispo, CA

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.
