"Very professional. Completed the job in two weeks. The deliverables were as promised. They were very independent, requiring only minimal involvement from the client. However, communication with the owner could be enhanced a bit."
"Roger and his team were excellent. Very responsive and professional. I was amazed at their collective skills in tackling some challenging aspects of our remodel. They were a joy to work with. Very pleased with the finished product."

"We recently remodeled our kitchen and we are very happy with what Ezra from Landmark Construction was able to delivered! The first thing we liked about this company is not only the gret estimate but he also did amazing 3D rendering of our new kitchen! This kitchen remodeling atarts by trying to get few quotes around town from several contractors, and than to compare them as much as we could in order to get a normal picture of the prices. Ezra was able to beat them all! He gave us a very detailed plan on what they were working and they got it done right, within 1 month. At our house, Charlie was the supervisor and he is definitely the best! He kept us posted with things happening during the project. We do recommend them for construction projects! "
"Purchased coupon on August 11, 2011. Because I was remodeling my kitchen myself after work and weekends, I didn't have time to deal with the creating the room drafts, plans, layouts or measurements she required. I did contact Jill and explain the situation and she was very understanding. She said because I contacted her, not to worry about the deadline. I remained in contact with her over the next few years (that's how long it took me) and when I was ready around the start of 2014, she worked hard to provide her new design. A true professional and great person to work with. The design was spot on and my wife and i were very impressed. Thank you Jill. "
"We hired Hometown Restoration after we had a shower leak throughout our bathroom and into our kitchen. Hometown Restoration came out and completed a thorough evaluation. They removed all affected drywall, repaired some dry rot framing, and treated the entire area with anti-mold spray. They were very professional and completed the job a day ahead of what they projected."
"We recently had Mega Power Electric Inc install a solar system and panels. The President and provided excellent communication all the way through the process. He even met with us after installation to explain the almost incomprehensible PG&E bill. Although not the least expensive bid, his was competitive and I felt he was as interested in educating me about solar and the various types of panels and inverter systems as he was in selling a system. He demonstrated how the array of panels would meet our energy needs and as opposed to some of the other companies, wasn't selling us more than we needed. We are very satisfied with our solar system and I highly recommended Mega Power Electric Inc."
"The kitchen remodel with Ocean Seven Builders went smoother than we thought it would. Ron stayed involved throughout the process and kept us updated on progress. The quality of the cabinets and flooring is excellent, and the installation looks very precise. Overall, it was a solid experience with a good end result!"
Kitchen and Bathroom Remodel questions, answered by experts
Adding a half bathroom can be worth it for two reasons: you want to increase the livability of your home and increase its value. While a value increase is more likely for a smaller home than a larger one, smaller houses with a large number of occupants can see a drastic increase in the ease and flow of daily life with the addition of a half bathroom.
Yes, you can remove a bathtub yourself if you have previous DIY experience and basic plumbing knowledge. You should have at least one other person help you if you approach this project as a DIY. However, hiring a plumber or bathroom remodeling pro can prevent accidental damage from demolition or water leakage.
Most codes require 15 inches on either side of the toilet's centerline (from the wall or vanity) and at least 21 to 24 inches between the toilet and the wall in front of it.

A $50,000 home remodeling budget can make quite an impact if you want to renovate your house. A $50,000 budget that doesn't include moving walls, increasing floor space, or adding to the foundation or the roof of the home can yield a very high ROI. In that scenario, such a budget could give your home a beautiful updated look without any major construction.
Home improvements that increase value offer a high return on investment (ROI) and can enhance your quality of life. Upgrades to your home’s curb appeal often add the most value, with garage door replacement having one of the best ROIs at 93%. Other high-value exterior projects include replacing your front door, upgrading siding and roofing, installing a stone veneer, adding new windows, and landscaping. For interior renovations, a fresh coat of paint provides an excellent ROI. Major projects like a kitchen remodel or upgrading appliances and HVAC systems also add significant value, as potential buyers appreciate the peace of mind that new equipment provides.
