"Contractor provided excellent consultation on the type of upgrades and improvements we wanted to make during our project. Jeff was excellent at suggesting improvements to our bathroom shower, entrance and new vanity and cabinets. He offered excellent contractors that we used for new granite countertops for kitchen and bath areas. He also met us at Floor and Decor store and assisted our selection of new bathroom tile and flooring that was used to replace our ugly old carpet in our living room, dining room and hallway areas. Contractor coordinated scheduling of tile, cabinet, plumbing and countertop installations with all sub contractors selected for our project. We are extremely happy with the results of their work!"

"The Pro Juan was knowledgeable and was able to perfectly replace both door frames. The communication was great and my tenants are finally happy with the door."
"Leroy and Wayne were both very professional and went above and beyond for my gutter replacement I needed my soffits painted on the whole house and they helped me hire a painter they have used in past to spray the paint on the soffits because they tried to brush the paint on and realized the holes to let the house breathe we’re getting clogged. That was just good honest business to do the right thing for me and lose a little income for them but give me a better result in the end. I would highly recommend these guys also because they are a family business teaching their sons the trade on the job."

"We found Ken very easy to work with and his crew and subs were professional. As my garage was built to be a woodshop we had to alter some details as we went along, but everything worked out fine. Thanks, Ken."
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.
You should lube your garage door components every three to six months depending on how frequently you open and close the door. Lubricant helps keep garage door components operating smoothly for longer; you can expect a much longer lifespan out of a garage door when you properly care for it, including frequent lubrication. Regular maintenance is much more affordable than the cost of replacing a garage door prematurely.
Provides additional space and enhances property appeal, potentially increasing resale value.
To properly maintain an epoxy garage floor, regularly sweep up dirt and debris using a broom and dustpan or a vacuum cleaner. Mop with warm water and scrub away stains using a mild cleaning solution that's safe for the epoxy product you have installed. Don't use any soap-based or chemical cleaners, as these can cause the epoxy surface to deteriorate more rapidly.
Standard garage door sizes for single doors range from 8 feet wide by 7 feet tall to 9 feet wide by 7 feet tall. An oversized single garage door would be 10 feet wide by 7 feet wide. The standard size for double garage doors is 16 feet wide by 7 feet high. However, some custom double garage doors can be as wide as 20 feet.
