"Building an ADU for my mother-in-law seemed intimidating until we met with the J W Adragna crew. We didn't have to function as a go-between for an architect and a builder because they did both. They broke ground in early spring and stayed on track. I greatly appreciated how they managed the site."
We are a general contracting company with 42 years in the trades, we pride ourselves on honesty and integrity and we treat every job like our own home.
"The work was fine and they were prompt. The garage is 20x20 and once the work started the estimate was adjusted up by 5 sheets, which seems kind of excessive for a job that size. But they installed the outlets and lights, which were not part of the estimate."
"Excellent job. I am super happy with my driveway. I highly recommend Lucky’s concrete to friends and family! Price was super competitive as well $8330.00. I will be using them again soon!"
"We are very pleased with our new kitchen. One of the cabinets needed a complete rebuild after it was installed and they did a wonderful job. We still have some work to be done but I am sure it will be done well. In the past we have also had a bathroom remodel done and were very pleased."
Insulating a detached garage won't reduce your home's heating or cooling bills—and insulating an attached garage will only have a small effect on your home's energy efficiency. However, insulating an attached garage can reduce the transfer of heating and cooling to and from the outdoors, which can reduce the amount of energy your home needs to stay comfortable. Also, having an insulated garage is just more pleasant. Balance the cost of insulating your garage with how you'll use the space to determine if the project is worth it.
A garage ceiling needs a vapor barrier if it’s a heated garage or if you’re installing insulation in the ceiling. Without a vapor barrier, you risk moisture issues and mold growth. If you have an unheated garage and don’t plan on installing insulation that could get wet and harbor mold, the ceiling doesn't need a vapor barrier.
The ideal temperature for your garage in the winter is between 40 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Maintaining a minimum temperature of at least 40 to 50 degrees is crucial to prevent pipes, liquids, and other items from freezing. Low temperatures can also drain your car battery, so keeping the garage stable is vital for your vehicle. While the lower end of the range protects your belongings, the higher end is based on your personal preference for a comfortable space. If you struggle to keep the temperature from dropping below 40 degrees, consider installing a garage heater.
If you open your garage manually, you don’t need sensors. If you have an automatic garage door opener, sensors are required by law. The federal law UL 325 mandates that all residential garage door openers in the U.S. must include sensors. Designed to prevent accidents and reduce the risk of entrapment, the sensors should be able to reverse the motion of the garage door within two seconds of detecting an obstruction. The sensors are there to keep you, your family, and your belongings safe from a door that might otherwise come down too hard or too fast.
Most garage door rails are fitted for their garage door, in particular. Some manufacturers make adjustable rails, but they’re not universal.
