"We were seeking to remodel a downstairs bathroom in the residence of our mixed-use property in the Big Bear region of the San Bernardino mountains. We estimate the property started out as a small shack in the early 1900s. It has been added to by multiple owners over the decades, culminating with our complete renovation in the 1990s - except for this bathroom. It had a few updated fixtures but still retained its flimsy beadboard paneling. It was small, drafty, awkwardly configured, and the floor sagged at the toilet. On top of that, it was situated near a dead end hallway that we wanted to incorporate into the bathroom space. No amount of lipstick was going to fix this pig. It had to be gutted. We first approached a big box hardware store, but after two months of constant emails with the coordinator, we still didnât have an estimate. After some prodding, we received a âWell, we are up to X dollars so farâ response. The off-the-cuff guesstimate was high, incomplete, and a total turn-off. We started seeking out local contractors and found Preferred Restoration on the HomeAdvisor website. After a meeting with the company owner, Jesse McHenry, we received a written proposal a few days later. The overall cost was reasonable, and the project was broken down by phase (demo, plumbing, electrical, etc.) with an estimated cost of each section. He clearly delineated what he was including in the estimate and what product we were responsible for purchasing and gave an estimated completion date. I have never received such a thorough and comprehensive breakdown of costs from a contractor in the last 25 years. I was impressed, and if his thoroughness on paper was any indication of his overall process, we were ready to sign up. Before beginning the project (and before each phase), Jesse gave us a rundown of what to expect in terms of time, noise level, ancillary workers, and product requirements. He curtained off the work section with plastic and tape, limiting the dust exposure and noise level. We gave him a key to the back door, but he always let us know when he would be coming. We were mostly preoccupied with our business next door but occasionally saw him throughout the day. He is certainly pleasant but always remained professional and unobtrusive. His subcontractors were also high quality. In addition, Jesse thoroughly monitored each phase for problems and was extremely diligent about making sure there were no leaks. He is highly focused, and his workmanship is superb. The design esthetic was largely owner-driven. We wanted an updated look but also wanted to maintain the same solid feel of the mountain house. We put in a jacuzzi tub to relax at the end of the day and kept the room uncluttered so it could serve as a guest bathroom at a momentâÂÂs notice. Jesse had some great recommendations including reconfiguring the arrangement to make the area more spacious and adding ambient floor heating, a cleverly concealed access panel to the tub mot"

"Outstanding! Very reasonably priced. HONEST. He returned $479 worth of wood and refunded it to me. If he hadn't of told me I would not have known that the wood was returned. Arrived on time. Four people working. Finished on time. Quality work. He came back a week after job was finished/paid for to see if there were any problems or concerns. Honest and reliable. Very Very Reasonably priced. All work had permit. He was less expense than contractors who wanted to replace my roof and stucco without a permit. All work top quality. Very meticulous. Did an amazing job! Highly recommend OM Construction and Tony."
"I was looking for a reliable contractor on a room addition and after long searching I decided to go with Nir and LA Expert Builders. Not only they gave me competitive price, Nir completely understood what I wanted to do and he was available in most acceptable time. I worked with many contractors in the past and I can say that LA Expert Builders are one of the best I worked with, maybe the best. I am fully satisfied with the outcome and would continue to work with this company!"
Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts
Carpenters are trained to take on a wide range of home projects. You can hire a carpenter to do framing, roofing, build custom furniture, and make significant upgrades to your home. General carpenters are usually able to handle most jobs. However, you may also choose to hire a carpenter who specializes in a specific type of carpentry.
When hanging a door frame, it’s recommended that you use screws, not nails. Screws are more secure, easier to tighten, and easier to remove if you need to adjust the frame. On average, the cost to replace a door frame is about $400, but you can save on labor costs if you’re confident in your ability to DIY the project.
The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.
Yes, professionals can install new frames, trim, and threshold adjustments for a complete finish.
Most load-bearing walls are exterior, though they can also be interior.
