"Richard is very knowledgeable and got the job done that we needed him to do within a timely manner. The work was excellent and I would recommend him and will use his services again in the future."
"Lewis was very friendly and professional. Great communication! He got the 3 rooms painted quickly and they look great. One of the rooms had a spot that dripped and he came back and fixed it the next business day. He cleaned up his mess so well you wouldn't even know he had been here. Highly recommend!"
"Unfortunately the contractor missed my scheduled appointment. When called they apologized and showed up shortly thereafter. When the contractor arrived, they explained the scope of what I purchased. They immediately started to work and was finished in short order. Work was satisfactory and professionally done. One repair made did have a small leak at first rain. When called they responded quickly."
"He did a good job. He was there when he said he would. He did more than what we discussed and did a quality job. He doesn't disappoint me. I would use the service again."
"In each case, we chose not to use this contractor because the price was higher than other estimates and the nature of the work did not require the level of expertise that they would bring to the job. As a result we hired less expensive contractors who did a job with less quality but served the purpose we wanted to accomplish.
I would definitely recommend Grantwood Contracting for any job but especially one that is complex and desire quality end results."

A window contractor will be able to provide the proper amount of support for your new bow window.
You can choose 5/8-inch plywood or 3/4-inch plywood—anything thinner than these sizes may not withstand the impact of debris propelled by strong winds or can be easily torn off by intruders. Remember that the durability of the wood board is crucial, particularly for safeguarding your windows during severe storms. The effectiveness of using wood boards for protecting the investment you made in your home relies on using the appropriate material and ensuring proper installation.
Traditionally, bungalows are single-story homes, although having a half or partial story on top of the first floor is common. While adding a second story to a bungalow is certainly possible, the home would no longer be considered a bungalow by the strictest definition.
Not all porch columns are load-bearing, though they can be. Some porch columns are simply decorative. There are ways to identify a load-bearing column, like looking for visible seams and a foundation. Also, check to see if the column directly enters the ground. In some porch installations, a contractor will excavate a hole to install a column into the earth along with a buried cement base for stability.
The primary parts of a house that need framing during construction are floors, exterior walls, interior walls, and the roof. The framing in these areas provides the skeleton for adding other materials over the top. With walls, for example, contractors can hang drywall over the interior walls and siding over the outside of the exterior walls. Proper framing ensures a sturdy house that is built to last.
