Renovation contractor in Sprucedale.
Garland Contracting works from Sprucedale, so a renovation quote in McMurrich/Monteith starts with a short drive. We handle framing, insulation, drywall, flooring and finish carpentry on homes, cabins and outbuildings.



A local crew for a rural renovation
A renovation in a rural home often meets surprises: a wall that never had insulation, a floor that sags over an old beam or a ceiling that holds a hidden problem. A contractor close by can return for a second look and adjust the plan. Our base is in McMurrich/Monteith, so we can.
The photos come from our work: framing with insulation, drywall around a door and a ceiling above a stairwell.
Homes, cabins and outbuildings
- Kitchen, bath and living-area updates that need framing, drywall and finish work
- Basement and main-floor finishing
- Cabins that need insulation, walls and flooring
- Shops and garages converted to living space
- Additions that tie into an older house
Electrical and plumbing need licensed tradespeople. Tell us what your project includes and we explain how the parts fit together.
Framing and floors
Many older buildings around Sprucedale rest on beams and sills that have moved or rotted. A renovation gives you a chance to fix them. We repair framing, level floors and install new subfloor, then lay hardwood or laminate. If rot has reached the structure, see rot repair in Sprucedale.
Finishing the job
Finish work gives a renovation its look. We fit baseboard and casing, hang doors and build stairs and built-ins. At the end, we clear the punch list: the small items that remain before a job counts as done.

Basements and main-floor finishing
Finishing a basement starts with moisture. We look for stains, damp spots and efflorescence on the walls, and we deal with water before we frame and insulate. Then we frame walls, insulate, hang and finish drywall and install flooring suited to a below-grade room. Send photos of the walls and the floor, and tell us whether the space ever floods or smells damp.
Flooring from subfloor up
We install hardwood, laminate and subfloor. A floor that sits on a damaged or uneven subfloor fails early. We check the framing, repair it, level it and lay the new floor on a firm base. Send photos of any sag, squeak or soft spot. A short drive from our base means we can return to check the progress.
Garage and shop conversions
A garage or a shop can become a studio, a guest room or a workspace. The conversion needs framing, insulation, drywall, flooring and finish work, and it needs licensed trades for electrical and plumbing. We handle the carpentry side and tell you what the other trades need from the walls. Send photos of the building and describe how you want to use it.
Cabin updates
A cabin often needs insulation in the walls and floor, new drywall or wood paneling, a new floor and updated trim. We frame, insulate, hang drywall, lay flooring and fit trim. If the cabin sits on posts or piers, we check the framing underneath before we add weight. Send photos of the cabin, the floor and any soft spots.
Living on site while we work
A rural renovation often happens while the family stays in the house. We close off the work area, hang a dust barrier across the doorway, protect floors and clear debris each day. Tell us which rooms you need and when, and we plan around them.
