"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."
"McQueen Construction was the type of company you are incredibly happy to do business with and support in the community. They are family owned and operated and take immense pride in their work. They go out of their way to make sure they understand what you want, make recommendations where they feel it makes sense to ensure you get what you want and are completely professional throughout the full process. I would highly recommend McQueen Construction to anyone looking for high quality, high levels of service and reasonable costs."
"Leo was very helpful and quick to respond. We’re happy with how our 2 bathrooms turned out. Project was completed within the time promised. Our only complaint is that the workers did not clean up very well. But overall, we’re satisfied and we’ll use them again."
"I was very concerned when I saw a crack in a support beam in my garage. Brian responded promptly, and pointed out that the damage was years old and that it was not a serious danger. That was an enormous relief. I elected to have a repair done anyway, and he offered far and away the best value, did the job fast and was fantastic to work with."
"We recently hired The AI Construction for a deck repair and partial replacement project, and the entire experience was outstanding. Angel and his team did an amazing job from start to finish. They were professional, punctual, and communicated with us throughout the entire process. The quality of the craftsmanship exceeded our expectations, and the new deck looks beautiful, feels incredibly solid, and was completed with great attention to detail. They kept the job site clean, finished on schedule, and made the whole process stress-free. If you’re looking for a contractor who truly cares about quality and customer satisfaction, I highly recommend Angel and The AI Construction. We couldn’t be happier with the final result!"
"I’ve worked with Mike and his team for years on all kinds of projects, and they’ve always been amazing to work with. The quality of their work is top-notch, they stay on budget, and everything runs smoothly from start to finish. Their design sense is excellent and they always manage to get things done right on time. I can’t recommend them enough, truly a reliable, talented, and easy-to-work-with crew."
"What can I say, Forrest and Joe built me a beautiful deck. What great people to work with. Their workmanship is amazing. Great pricing! Thank you Forrest!"
"If you are looking for a knowledgeable, hardworking and trustworthy company, not to mention a kind, respectful, good communication and good person, Vitaliy owner of AVD Construction is who I highly recommend. Our project started as an owner build ADU garage conversion. We interviewed 3 subcontractors for each initial trade. Vitaliy was initially interviewed for framing, it was immediately evident that he was very knowledgeable about construction and codes. His pricing was fair and within other quotes, so we hired him. After a couple visits, and reviews of blueprints we discovered that Vitaliy was a general contractor. Since we were early on in our project, we would have him bid at each step, which we would choose him every time. As the project progressed Vitaliy would catch errors, by other trades and engineering. Most of these catches saved us time and money. There were times that he would fix some of these errors to help us out and save time. There is a specific example that comes to mind. Concrete sub had just poured their concrete, they took off the garage side door and our larger garage door wouldn't close. I was feeling very uneasy about having access to our garage and home from the street. Vitaliy pulled the door out of the pile of trash, cut it down to fit in opening, put hinges back on and wired garage door closed. I think he could see how happy and grateful I was, I remember saying "I think I'll be able to sleep tonight." Vitaliy said "treat other people's home like it's your own." That really stuck with me. Vitaliy made suggestions along the way, that made sense and often was overlooked by our novice eyes. He explained things, so that we could understand, he taught us so much. We are so grateful and lucky to have found him. We went on to hire AVD Contruction to frame, drywall, tape/mud walls, completely tile 2 bathrooms (floors and showers), Install 2 French doors, windows, all vents, stucco entire sides where new doors and windows were installed, plumb our kid's bathroom. Vitaliy was there for every inspection. Every job he took on, he and his workers were respectful, communicated each step of the way and they always treated our home like it was their own. If I had to do it again, I would have hired AVD Construction to do the whole project."
Electric garage doors are secure when adequately installed and maintained. They often come equipped with safety features like rolling code technology that generates a new code each time you use the remote, making it harder for burglars to intercept and duplicate. However, their security depends on factors like the quality of the door and your diligence in safeguarding remote controls and access codes. Regular maintenance, strong passwords, and adding security enhancements can boost the security of electric garage doors, making them a reliable choice for many homeowners.
It’s possible to use a torch to melt ice on your garage door, but we don’t recommend it. It’s very easy to bring the flame too close to the door, which can melt the weather stripping or even the garage door itself. You’ll melt ice quickly with a torch, but the damage you’re likely to cause can end up costing you a few hundred dollars to fix, which isn’t worth it. Instead, we recommend pouring hot water over the frozen area or using a less intense heat source, like a hair dryer or space heater.
The best options for lubricating a garage door are silicone- or lithium-based lubricants made specifically for this purpose. These products are designed to deeply penetrate the door's components, such as hinges and springs, providing long-lasting protection against wear and tear. A silicone-based lubricant is an excellent choice as it also prevents rust and corrosion and performs well in extreme heat and cold.
It is important to avoid certain products. Do not use heavy, oil-based lubricants or standard grease, as they can attract dust, dirt, and other debris that may get caught in the tracks. You should also avoid using WD-40, as it can strip away any existing lubrication.
You can typically find appropriate garage door lubricants online or at a local hardware store for less than $10.
Yes, garage cabinets are worth it to organize the tools, supplies, equipment, and gear you’ve been storing in the garage. Garage cabinets provide a great way to declutter your space while also preserving your valuables—keeping them free from dust, debris, and various weather elements. Not to mention, garage cabinets also elevate the look of your garage, which can prove beneficial when you’re looking to sell your home.
Faux wood garage doors provide the best insulation for garages. This style is commonly insulated with polyurethane foam—a thermal conductor—that retains heat and keeps you and the inside of your garage warm.
