We got a Dream Baths business card from a friend who got it from the owner's wife when they had a casual chat in the meat department in Walmart.  We knew that a bath renovation was in our plans but it took another year before we were ready to proceed.  Dream Baths was our first interview for the job.  We originally planned to contact several other firms but after showing Mr. Thornton what we wanted done and listening to his ideas and proposal, we knew he was the man we needed.

Mr. Thornton juggled his schedule around our travel and entertainment plans so it was a month before any work actually started.  He kept us informed throughout the ordering and arrival of the supplies and was always available to answer any questions that we had.  They picked up the new water heater and vanity top from Home Depot for us (at no charge).  When it wouldn't fit into the available space, they returned it and brought in one that would fit.

The work crew was wonderful - polite, caring, hard-working, and clean!  If any questions arose, they asked us what we wanted before proceeding.  This was not an easy job.  Our house is old and so are the plumbing and electrical systems.  Each time a problem arose, the crew figured out the solution.  Example:  how do you hang a chandelier in a bathroom that's only 8 feet tall? 

The only practical entry to the work area was through our bedroom.  The crew laid down floor coverings each morning and removed them at day's end.  They swept up any debris and dusted the furniture.  When the project was finished, we could move back into the work space without extensive cleaning.  That's a first for us with any remodeling project that we've ever done!

When it came time to settle our finances at the end of the project, I had projected at least $500-1,000 for extra work done.  Nope - Mr. Thornton said that there was no charge for the extras.  We only paid what was originally agreed upon.

We found several minor issues after the final payment (I needed my shower head raised higher and my husband had trouble replacing his shower head into the holder). Mr. Thornton and his crew have come back twice to make things right for us, even after getting all the money!  I definitely recommend this firm.

Subcontractors questions, answered by experts

Costs vary depending on project complexity and scope. Architects generally charge a percentage of the total budget or an hourly rate for their services.

Designing a building takes 2-6 months, depending on project size, required permits, and revisions.

Hiring a professional to do a loft conversion will certainly speed up the process. The construction steps required to change the slope of the roof can be quite difficult to do as a DIY job. Should the project run into any snags, like rot in the joists, frayed wiring, or roof leaks, hiring a local home remodeling professional makes it far easier to handle these issues safely.

You have three options in terms of professionals who can draw up blueprints: a draftsperson, an architect, or a structural engineer. A draftsperson can sometimes draw up plans for new construction, but they more often work from approved plans for alterations or to provide 3D drawings. Architects are usually the best option for standard residential construction projects. Structural engineers might be necessary for custom home builds or for alterations that could affect your home’s structural integrity. Draftsmen cost the least of the three, followed by architects and then structural engineers.

Yes, you can draw your own deck plans in many cases. However, you must know your local building codes and be familiar with carpentry principles. Even then, it's always best to run your plans by a professional contractor with experience building decks, whether you choose to DIY some of the build or not.
