Hi, I'm Bob Michelini -though most of my friends call me Garage Bob. With over 30 years of experience in the detached garage business, I've worn many hats: manager, sales representative, expeditor, and problem solver. I love my work because I get a chance to create a new building that makes my clients excited and thankful. I always tell my new potential homeowners that I will do my best to build your new garage as if it were being built on my property next to my house! I totally realize that my clients are consumers just like myself and they are looking out for their best interest just like I do when I am getting estimates. I approach every estimate with the idea that I will put my best foot forward to give them a great product at a fair market price and that if for some reason I am not awarded a job, I made a new friend. I believe in doing my follow ups after I give an estimate but I also believe that potential clients do not want to be pressured or hounded! I know this to be true because I put myself in their shoes and try to treat folks like I expect to be treated.
