With over 15 years of experience, JCS Remodeling is a family owned and operated Rhode Island based home improvement company serving Rhode Island and Southern Massachusetts. At JCS Remodeling our mission is to maintain the highest level of professionalism, integrity and fairness with our suppliers, subcontractors and customers. Our entire team is committed to meeting your needs and exceeding your expectations. Whether it needs a minor update or a major transformation, JCS Remodeling has you covered every step of the way.

"From beginning thru end, Jeff and crew made the process very pleasant. There are going to be challenges in any complicated project, and we certainly ran into them in my 1973 home. Walls and ceilings that don't exactly line up anymore. Surprises discovered in the demolition. Original design that was not thought thru back in 1973. Vendors that deliver less than perfect pieces. JCS worked thru all these issues to reach workable solutions for me. Cost-wise, to sum it up, they charge a very reasonable price. They do the right thing. They handled extra issues while here, the "Plus" referring to remolding the adjoining den plus other issues that were on my "punch list" around the house. Jeff took care of all issues. He did not consider the job finished until every last issue was off the punch list. I believe his goal is to never end a ob without leaving a customer completely happy. The "Approximate cost of service" includes everything (cabinets, appliances, supplies on top of services). In my case, everything in the kitchen and dining room from head to toe was replaced. And many extras were done including adding a walk-out door. This was a very large job."

Subcontractors questions, answered by experts

No, builders and general contractors don’t expect tips. In fact, some companies may prohibit their employees from accepting client tips. If you want to show gratitude for a job well done, consider writing a review of your builder or contractor or agreeing to be a reference for potential new customers.

There are several different steps in the pole barn building process. First, you’ll need construction plans, which you’ll use to obtain permits. Then, you can clear the land so it’s suitable for building and installing the foundation. Your contractor will frame the barn using large poles, then rough in the plumbing and electricity (if your barn has those elements) before finishing the interior, adding siding, and installing the roof. 

After that, they’ll finish up the electrical work and plumbing and add your windows and doors. You may have a few other finishing jobs to do like painting or waterproofing.

Painting countertops can take a few days to complete yourself. However, keep in mind that it can take up to 14 days for the sealer to cure. So, you want to make sure you wait the manufacturer's recommended amount of time before using your countertops after painting them.

A construction lien results from unpaid services. For instance, if a homeowner hires a contractor to do a large renovation on their home and then fails to pay for the services and materials, the contractor can take out a lien on the property. This lien is a legal claim against the property for the amount of money owed. If the homeowner does not pay their debt, the lien may stay on the title until the homeowner tries to sell and cannot do so until the title is cleared.

On average, the cost to transform your garage into a workshop is about $2,000. The overall project cost depends on the type of workshop you want to build and its size. Regardless of the type of workshop, you’ll still need basic workshop spaces and equipment such as a workbench, cabinets, and space for storage and for working.
