"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. "
"They were thorough when doing the smoke and soot cleaning in my kitchen after an incident. They even got rid of the lingering burning smell which had filled the whole place."
"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
If you are fortunate enough to have a renovation budget of $100,000, your budget can take you pretty far. Considering the average cost to renovate a home in the U.S. is about half of that, it should be enough for several upgrades and aesthetic improvements. The actual cost will depend on factors like the size of the home, material choices, and whether you hire remodeling contractors or take a DIY approach.
Costs depend on project scope, materials, labor, and custom features like lighting or storage solutions.
The amount of time it takes to repipe a bathroom depends on how much piping needs to be replaced and how accessible the pipes are. Smaller, easily accessible jobs may only take a few hours, but projects that require drywall removal or removing old pipes or large clogs can take several days.
Most design projects take 2-6 weeks, depending on revisions and material selections.
There are several ways to save money on a bathroom remodel through proper planning and savvy design strategies. To reduce costs, consider the following:
Purchase your own materials: Buy your own bathroom fixtures, hardware, and other materials to avoid contractor upcharges and delivery fees.
Shop smart for big-ticket items: Save on pricey items like tiles and tubs by shopping sales and at discount stores.
Avoid major layout changes: Keep plumbing in its current location. Opt to replace fixtures rather than moving them to avoid significant renovation work.
Focus on high-impact, low-cost updates: Make affordable but impactful smaller changes, such as upgrading hardware, installing new lighting, and adding stylish but economical accessories.
DIY where possible: Handle easier parts of the remodel yourself, like painting or installing light fixtures, to save on labor costs.
Time your remodel strategically: Consider remodeling in the spring, which tends to be a lower-demand time of year and may result in lower costs.
