"When we purchased this older house, we quickly realized the second-floor deck was in bad shape and needed a total overhaul. We got a couple of quotes, but Will came highly recommended. We decided to go with them as they are family-owned to take on the job and I'm so glad we did. They did a killer job!
 The whole process was hassle-free and the final result was much better than expected. They were knowledgeable and genuinely cared about doing the best job possible. But what really impressed me was how much I was able to lean on them for advice on other needs of the older house and ended up doing some other work in the upstairs bathroom. Being new to home ownership, I had a lot of questions and Will was more than happy to help me out with recommendations and solutions. The new deck they built is now one of the best parts of my house. 
Overall, I can't recommend these guys enough. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was done right. genuinely cared about me and my home. If you're looking for a contractor who will do an amazing job and offer great advice, Will is your guy."

"The work was done in a timely manner, and as I was told we needed to wait to paint the stairs, and that was the last item, i paid in full. It has now been over a year and i keep requesting that they come out and complete the work, and i receive no response. Disappointed."

"Paul was very professional throughout the entire siding job. He was accommodating when asked to install a front door. My husband and I are very pleased with the quality of work as well as the cost. Paul went above and beyond what most contractors would do on our project. We would definitely recommend PSK Builders."

"Abdul Perry and crew did a fantastic job. Diligent workers, meticulous work. Cleaned up at the end of every day. The price was fair. They even took care of the rot around some windows and walls. No hidden fees, no unnecessary work done. We will definitely be hiring them for future projects."

The quality of the work is excellent, and the new roof looks great. They kept the work area clean and communicated well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement."

"This is the absolute best contracting experience I have had in 12 years! I absolutely ADORE these new garage doors! As a realtor who sees tons of properties that need rehab etc, I can say that when it came to my own garages I would recommend G&G to all of my clients! My 2 door historic garage/barn doors were a mess and it looks like amazing now. Thank you so much for trim and prep work, attention to detail, clean up, everything! A+++"

Garages questions, answered by experts

Having a garage can increase the value of your home considerably, even if the garage isn't considered living space. Many people own cars and want a secure place to park their vehicles when they are home. 

If you decide to finish your garage and convert it into living space, you may affect your home's value. The livable space may increase your home's square footage, which can help its value. But, giving up the garage space may also negatively affect the sale price of your home.

The ideal temperature for your garage in the winter is between 40 and 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Maintaining a minimum temperature of at least 40 to 50 degrees is crucial to prevent pipes, liquids, and other items from freezing. Low temperatures can also drain your car battery, so keeping the garage stable is vital for your vehicle. While the lower end of the range protects your belongings, the higher end is based on your personal preference for a comfortable space. If you struggle to keep the temperature from dropping below 40 degrees, consider installing a garage heater.

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.

A carriage house combines garage or storage space with living space, usually in two stories, while a garage generally does not offer any living space. Carriage houses are built with plumbing, insulation, and heating and cooling systems, which are usually features not found in traditional garages. Building codes and insurance requirements greatly differ between the two types of structures, and may make it difficult to convert a garage to a carriage house.

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.
