"Rafe Courville built a 22ftx24ft pavilion for us a few months ago. From the concrete floor to the 20ft tall pitched steel roof, it has been just what we wanted. The wooden post, beams, and railing are ideal for our needs. Very satisfied! He also built a 500ft wooden fence for us. We had him back recently to repair a hole in our main building's roof. Also very satisfied. Good price for the both. Rafe will be replacing all the cabinets in our kitchen in the near future."

"Cannot express the deep, deep gratitude for Mr. Demoine and his fantastic, expert crew! I contacted him as well as several other roofing companies immediately after the storm passed on Aug 30. He called back w/n hours to determine status and next steps. He told me he would be over as soon as he could get gasoline for his trucks; he was waiting on a promise from Mayor Cantrell to Provide gasoline two emergency and necessary companies. As he waited throughout the day for gasoline so he can get to me he called me back no less than FOUR TIMES to provide me with a status update! Who DOES that?! How many professionals have you worked with who have been so conscientious and so reliable? Well, D & D Construction destroyed and devastated that assumption. They were able to get to me on Tuesday, Aug 31 and immediately got to it and “got ‘er done!” They were so conscientious, thorough and obviously skilled that I told Mr. Demoine before he left that I had several minor and major project renovations that I had started prep for several years ago, but did not actually begin b/c I had not found the “right” company to do the work. Needless to say, I believe I have found the right company! Frankly, between me and all the great friends, colleagues and Veterans that I know who need reputable, ethical and professional grade construction work, I could keep his company employed for generations! I am very satisfied and impressed w/D and D Construction and have already recommended them to two other close friends who need exactly the same kind of expert care, concern and work ethic!"

Garages questions, answered by experts

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.

On average, a garage door can last between 15 and 30 years. However, this lifespan is influenced by several factors, including the quality and material of the door, local climate conditions, and how frequently it is used and maintained.

Key factors affecting longevity include:

  • Material: Wooden doors can last 20 to 30 years or more, while steel doors typically last 15 to 20 years. More robust options, like triple-layer steel, can last 25 to 30 years with proper care. The number of layers in a door also contributes to its durability, with each additional layer potentially adding five years to its life.

  • Maintenance: Regular inspections, cleaning, and immediate repairs can significantly extend the life of your garage door.

  • Usage and Climate: Doors in harsh climates or those used very frequently may wear out faster.

  • Components: Individual parts have different lifespans. For example, automatic openers may fail sooner than the door itself without regular maintenance, and garage door springs typically need replacement every 7 to 12 years.

While the door panels are designed to last as long as the door, they should be replaced sooner if they become visibly damaged, impact the door's smooth operation, or create a security risk.

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.

Sheet metal garage doors, particularly steel and aluminum, have the cheapest materials and installation. Experienced homeowners may cut and shape the metal themselves; however, you can buy prefabricated metal from a hardware store or pay a metal fabricator to shape the metal to your specifications. Steel and aluminum garage doors can cost as little as $500 and go up to $3,000.

You should let your initial paint job dry at least 12 hours before opening the door. Check your work after 12 hours have passed to confirm there are no uneven patches, or signs of the old paint showing though—if you see any, we recommend applying a second coat of paint and waiting an additional 12 hours for it to dry.
