"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."
You do not need to drywall over most types of garage insulation. However, doing so can increase noise reduction, make the space more attractive, and keep children and pets from touching harmful fiberglass insulation. If you’re using cellulose or some other type of blown-in insulation (fiberglass and mineral wool are common), you will need drywall to contain the insulation material.
In addition to being less expensive, nylon garage door rollers are actually much quieter than steel rollers. However, many homeowners find that they wear out prematurely compared to steel. In general, more expensive steel rollers are more durable. However, their nosiness can make them less than ideal for garages that are located beneath a home's bedrooms.
Standard garage door sizes for single doors range from 8 feet wide by 7 feet tall to 9 feet wide by 7 feet tall. An oversized single garage door would be 10 feet wide by 7 feet wide. The standard size for double garage doors is 16 feet wide by 7 feet high. However, some custom double garage doors can be as wide as 20 feet.
Garage door freezing is prompted by snowfall and freeze/thaw cycles instead of the temperature. If you get a lot of moisture around the garage door, whether from rain or melting snow, and temperatures quickly drop below freezing (32 degrees Fahrenheit) at night, that’s a recipe for a frozen garage door. Winters with steep temperature drops overnight are more likely to create this problem, especially low temperatures to sustain a freeze, so weather in the lower 20s is a common culprit.
Garage doors are heavy and close under power, so ensuring they're safe should be one of the priorities of a homeowner. Installing at least one sensor is a good start, but it doesn't hurt to have two, especially considering you can install a secondary system for less than $100. Remember that sensors require calibration and simple but regular maintenance checks— installing them is only the first step.
