"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."
"Josh did a wonderful job on this project. He went above and beyond, and he was very quick to get started. Within one day of telling Josh what I needed done, he had already gotten started! He is very friendly and definitely a hard worker!! I will definitely be using him again in the future!"
"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."

There are a few easy ways to locate a wall stud without a stud finder. First, try knocking on the wall with your knuckles. Most parts of the wall will sound hollow, but when you tap over a stud, it will sound more solid. Alternatively, since studs are spaced 16 or 24 inches apart, you can measure those distances from a corner of the room, which will always have a stud.
Framing a basement takes three to five days, on average, when completed by a professional, though it may take longer for a larger space. Keep in mind this doesn’t include the time to complete the design, obtain permits, and install the drywall on the framing. On average, fully finishing a basement takes an average of 45 days.
Accurate measurements, sturdy materials, and seamless integration with other structures.
Yes, most services include necessary frame modifications for proper door fitting. Confirm with your provider.
In framing, studs are placed at 16-inch intervals to coincide with the typical spacing of wall materials such as drywall or plywood. This spacing is called "on-center" and is necessary for maintaining structural stability and efficient use of materials. The 16-inch spacing also helps to distribute the weight evenly across the building's structure. For those looking to cut material costs and improve energy efficiency, 24-inch stud spacing can be employed through a method called "advanced framing". This requires careful planning and adherence to local building codes to ensure structural integrity.
