"Great builder to work with! Smart, accommodating, creative and highly competent. Matt and Jeff did a great job on our deck and replaced a leaking window. We WILL hire them again!"
"I was lucky to have my job scheduled in between rainy and dry periods and got the job scheduled before the summer season got going. Steven, the estimator & project manager, communicated extremely well and was very reliable. The woodwork was done quickly by highly skilled carpenters. There were several days of waiting the rain out, but that was unavoidable. Painting prep took several days because of the poor condition of the weathered surfaces. There were a lot of stucco cracks that had to be sanded down that I had put caulk over originally. There was additional work done after more dry rot was discovered on my garage roof. The price and little extras of the job was extremely fair."
"Absolutely awesome. Easy to work with and fair. Mcqueen construction was one of several contractors I contacted for a bid. There were two contractors I felt comfortable with and confident that the result would be good. (Fingers crossed). For some reason I felt Scott would be someone I felt comfortable with and could work with. They removed my 20+ year old deck and spent 2 days shoring up the superstructure, leveling, measuring, etc. , and came up with some options of how best to install a new trex deck and not waste boards. From then on the work, the effort to complete the job, the willingness to communicate was what I hoped for. The result was great. Couldnâ t be happier and would highly recommend them for any job that requires a contractor."
"We hired McCormick Home Builders to remodel our living room, and we are beyond pleased with the result. The team was professional, worked efficiently, and Aris design ideas made a huge difference. The room feels so much brighter and more spacious. This was the best decision we made for our home, and we were already planning our next remodel with them."
"Didi did a terrific job constructing a stand-alone studio on our property. He installed interior trim, windows, doors, roofing, etc. He does very high quality work, is conscientious, showed up on time and has a great personality."
"If you need a contractor in Grass Valley, I highly recommend Green Bee Construction. They did an incredible job adding a bathroom to our home and installing a mini-split to finish off our guest room. They are professional, easy to work with, and even helped us find a great painter and electrician. We’re thrilled with the results!"
"Schaut is the best contractor I have ever used. Specifically their project manager Chris Kohler. Chris is so knowledgeable and is so great to work with. I can highly recommend Schaut Construction."
"Angel and his team did an amazing job repairing and replacing our deck. They were professional, on time, and the quality of their work was outstanding. The deck looks beautiful, feels solid, and was completed exactly as promised. I highly recommend The AI Construction to anyone looking for quality workmanship!"
A traditional driveway gate isn’t your only option when installing a barricade in front of your driveway. A security gate like a swing gate, double swing gate, bi-folding gate, vertical gate, or pivot gate could work just as well as your driveway gate—if not better for your home depending on which qualities you’re after. Like sliding driveway gates, many of these alternatives work with automatic features that simplify entering and exiting your property.
If you take caution around fragile garage parts, thawing methods shouldn’t cause problems. Avoid using direct sources of heat too close to the garage door, especially rubber parts.
Another spot to avoid heating is the garage door spring. This powerful metal spring can become very cold in winter. Applying heat to a cold spring increases the chances it could break.
Since garage door torsion springs have tightly wound coils under massive tension, they can cause serious injury while attempting to service them. A broken spring can also cause the garage to close rapidly, causing injuries. That’s why any adjustments or replacements of a torsion spring should only be conducted by a trained professional.
Extension springs are just as dangerous as torsion springs—especially when they break. These springs can become projectiles and may cause serious injury or property damage.
