Family owned and operated since 1984.For 40 years we have been providing our services. We got our start in 1985 building mantles using tools that we had and working out of a home. Showing off our ability to create custom cabinets to match the needs of a variety customers, our business began to grow. Now with state-of-the-art equipment and one master builder we are prepared to work with any customer to help them realize their cabinet dreams.

"Where to begin? My seemingly tiny kitchen was a 1969 disaster, with no upgrades other than repeated paint jobs. There was very little storage space and totally unusable seating space. I’m so glad I found G&L Cabinets on Angi! I had several other outfits come and give me estimates but they all seemed to have their own agenda about what I needed. I went with G&L because they could do what I needed within my budget and George listened to my ideas and incorporated them as well as suggesting some needed changes. The newly installed cabinets, , crown molding, granite, and subway tile back splash is gorgeous and far exceeded my expectations. I now have twice as much storage space, a convenient countertop bar, two lazy Susans, a pantry with pull out shelves, undercounter lighting, and adjustable shelving. My kitchen seems much larger and brighter. George’s workmanship is pristine, and he had the entire kitchen done in less than a week. G&L is trustworthy, quick and fastidious and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. I highly recommend G&L Cabinets to anyone who wants a beautiful result at a perfect price point."

"I recently had 4 windows replaced at my home, and the entire process was smooth and professional. The team arrived on time, worked efficiently, and made sure everything was installed properly and sealed tight. The new windows look great, have improved the comfort of our home, and we’ve already noticed better insulation. I’m very satisfied with the quality of the work and would definitely recommend them for any window replacement project."

"I wanted to replace carpet with wood-look vinyl in living room, dining room, library and office in my house, but the floors were very uneven. One company said they would only recommend replacing with new carpet and a second company gave me a ridiculously high estimate for the work. Jacobs Construction quoted a fair price, which went up a bit when they pulled up the carpet and saw just how bad the floors were. The final cost was far below the other quote. The work was done in just two days, and the floors are beautiful!"

"Richard worked with me on his estimate to secure the job. He promised my kitchen complete remodel to be done in 3 weeks which it was! He has been by far the easiest contractor to work with that I have experienced of the three I have worked with. His crew does the work the old fashioned way with care. They rolled the paint on (2coats!!). We are still working through some minor issues, but over all, I highly recommend Richard and 3-D Remodeling Co."

Carpentry questions, answered by experts

Joists do distribute their load to beams, but they don’t sit on top of the beams. Instead, home builders nail or screw the joists directly to the beams such that the end of the joist butts up against the edge of the beam. Beams can sit on other beams for support, but you’ll never see a joist sitting on top of a beam or another joist.

Yes, a one-story house can have a load-bearing wall. The load-bearing walls in a single-story home are usually the exterior walls. If the house has a basement with exposed walls, the arrangement of the beams can help indicate what walls are load-bearing.

Your local building code will list all the framing requirements for whatever type of structure you're building. Most exterior walls require spacing of 16 inches on-center, while many non-load-bearing interior walls only require 24 inches of spacing. However, there are also varying requirements depending on your construction material, so checking your municipality's rules is essential.

Homeowners can increase the usefulness of their garage space in other ways, and one option is to extend the length of the garage by making it deeper. The process is similar to traditional garage extensions, but the end product is a garage with a different layout rather than additional parking spaces. 

Depending on your carport's configuration, foundation or slab condition, and location in relation to the house, turning a carport into a garage has a lot in common with adding an addition to your home. However, you can skip some of the necessities of adding living space to your home, such as fine flooring, trim work, or even drywall or HVAC. It might be possible to DIY the conversion, but it’s complicated and potentially dangerous work, so it’s best left to the professionals.
