"Great communication between us, my thoughts and design were totally understood. From the start Vic help with my decisions, everything, the dismantling of old rotten shade structure, and organizing the color Concrete crew. He called and was very professional with his approach to project . Honest, prepared, worked all days. A really good fair price, my wife and I are very happy with the entire experience. I'd recommend Central Builders to any friends and Family."
"Overall we had a really good experience with McQueen Construction. Scott was very professional and he managed the project really well. It was a very tight budget and even tighter timeline for the build and they completed everything in record time within our budget, which was incredible. Really nice family owned and operated business I would recommend to anyone in the local area. Cheers!"
"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!"
"Michael and team did such an amazing job on our bathroom remodel. They took our tiny, dysfunctional bathroom and turned it into a true master bathroom oasis in a short amount of time during the holiday season. When they had the space down to the studs, Michael sat down with us and discussed in detail the best possible use of the space and we couldn’t be happier with our final decision after going through the options. Michael was great at communicating and we still stay in touch to this day, which we truly appreciate. Great team who does great work and I will absolutely be giving Waters Construction a call for any and all future home renovations. I’ll let the pictures do the rest of the talking."
"Vitally is the man!! Customer service out of this world. Craftsmanship 10/10!! This man is an absolute professional. The tools he is equipped with and the knowledge is astounding. I promise you if you hire him you won't be disappointed. I am so pleased with him. Do not hesitate and you will he writing a review the same as mine! Thank you so much for going above and beyond!"
"Matt, Eric and team were great! they were here when they said they'd be here. Matt checked in almost every day even if he wasn't personally on the build that day. They had a "customer is always right" mentality and didn't penny pinch on change orders. Half way through the job Matt realized that the natural gas fire insert installation was more complex than his team's skills. He immediately sourced a specialized contractor to do that part of the job which gave us all a tremendous amount of confidence. The attention to detail was great and nothing was too big or too small to discuss. We are extremely satisfied with the end product. It looks great!"
"We are incredibly pleased with the ADU that United Services built at our home. Glenn and his entire team were professional and responsive from the planning stages through to the finished project. They coordinated the architectural design, building permits, and inspections, ensuring that everything proceeded smoothly. They built the ADU to perfectly match our house, using complementary exterior materials, roofing, flooring, and paint color palettes. The commitment and expertise that each team member and subcontractor applied to their work was greatly appreciated. We highly recommend United Services and would certainly hire them again for any future building projects."
"It Went very well. He and his crew were prompt, even coming later when asked. The product was beautiful, a shiny lightly pattered white flooring which added much to our kitchen. Guy is friendly, communicates well, asked our opinion when needed. Will hire again."
If your garage door seems to freeze every winter, you can try rubbing silicone spray or petroleum jelly around the edges and rollers of the garage door. However, it’s a good idea to avoid direct application of silicone sprays like WD40 to rubber edges, which could damage them over time. A garage door that frequently freezes shut could need a full replacement, especially if it’s showing signs of rust or other wear and tear.
It is possible to manually open a garage door. However, whether you should manually open a garage door depends on the source of the problem. If the door doesn't open because of a broken spring or cable, for safety's sake, you'll want to leave the door closed until you can have a professional inspect it and repair it. If the problem lies with the opener itself, you should usually have no problem opening the door manually.
Most garage doors come with their own set of tracks and rollers from the manufacturer, so you don’t need to buy tracks separately.
Whether a garage or an extra room adds more value depends on several factors, including local market demand, location, and typical buyer preferences. Generally, added living space is highly desirable to most buyers, which can make an extra room more valuable than a traditional garage. The return on investment (ROI) often depends on the utility of the new space; for example, an additional bedroom is typically more valuable than a new living room, and converting a garage into a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom will likely add the most value. A well-designed extra room can also serve specific needs, such as a home office, guest room, or entertainment space. However, adding a garage may be more valuable in areas with limited street parking or harsh climates where protecting a vehicle is a priority.
A garage door panel is a section of the garage door that spans the width of the door and connects to other panels above and/or below to create a folding door. The panels usually each have rollers on the sides that fit into the tracks and direct the sectioned door to open and close while remaining in balance.
