"Jason came and gave me an estimate on the work to be performed and was back the next day to complete it.  He was on time, very professional and efficient.  He took down and trimmed a door that was scrubbing on the carpet, he fixed two ceiling fans that were wobbling and making noise by taking them down and starting over to make sure they were secure, he put door sweeps on two doors, fixed three other doors that were not shutting and latching properly, fixed a sliding glass closet door that had a large gap in it and he insulated a picture window.  I like the fact that he wants things to be fixed right the first time.  While he was here he gave me an estimate on some work I need done outside my home.  I feel the quality of work was very good and the price was fair.  It is hard to find someone who can come and do a lot of small jobs for one quoted price and finish in the time given.  I am very happy.  I will have J.D. Handyman do more work for me.

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

Balancing aesthetics with functionality amidst space planning is important. To do so, you could consider consulting both an interior designer and an architect to fulfill both these needs. Or you can tackle it on your own by prioritizing personal touches amidst space planning that add to the look but don't take away from the livability of the space.

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

Expect excavation below grade, creating a well for access, weatherproofing, and thorough inspections during setup.

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.

While it’s never too early to start planning for a major home improvement project like a home addition, give yourself at least a month or two to plan and design your addition, find a contractor, and get the permits in order. For larger projects like a second-story addition that require designing with an architect, plan on three to four months of preparation.
