"We used DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen earlier this year to put in a new bathroom in our basement plus do a minor remodel (countertop replacements) on all of our other bathrooms to match the new one. I have to say, we couldn't be more happy with both the end result as well as how DreamMaker approached the entire process from start to finish. The DreamMaker team were really friendly, professional, and responsive from day one until, well, weeks after they'd finished when we had some questions about care and maintenance. They were very transparent with their pricing up front and also provided a complete product list of everything they had installed. When they were working inside of our home, all of the workers that came to visit took immense care. They did a fantastic job in covering up all of our carpet they were walking on, covering up the floors and other surfaces in our bathrooms that they were working in. They kept everything really clean and we were impressed at the attention to detail (the DreamMaker team found minor imperfections that the wife and I missed to correct in the final walk through, far more critical of their own work than we were!). I only have one complaint. They did such a good job with the new bathroom in the basement, it makes our master bathroom look bad!!! (Good problem to have in the end) Pricing wise, we had gotten quotes from multiple vendors earlier on in this process. Considering how top notch of an overall project experience we had, I can pretty happily say that none of them came close to matching the value DreamMaker brought. We will certainly be looking to them in the future for any other projects! (Pictures are just of the new basement install, they also put that black countertop in our other bathrooms)"

"ODW promised me the shortest time frame for install (3-12 weeks) so I went with them over other companies. They took 7 entire months to finish installing the windows, more than twice what they promised. When I asked for a discount because of them not keeping their promise they told me it was because their factory took awhile on making a single window so its not their responsibility and dont feel they need to reimburse anything for taking over half a year for an install. Also during install I had to pay extra for "lead containment" due to my older windows but when they removed them they just left the old lead laying on the floor and left shattered glass all over the attic flooring (some shards as long as 3") and covering a large area all over my back patio. The manager did not feel concerned about the dangerous mess they left nor that they broke their promise on their time frame and held up the rest of the renovation and contractors from finishing my addition for months. Completely untrustworthy business and unprofessional."

"This job went extremely poorly in many different areas. Although we wanted the job to begin on a Monday, the owner emailed me and told me the job had to be moved so as to start on Thursday of the same week, Imagine our suprise when the subcontractor called on Monday and wanted to start the following day - Tuesday! Since we had made other plans, we kept the original start day, The job was bid so that we would provide all materials except for the tub. On the day the subcontractor called asking if he could start the job early, I explained we had most of the materials on hand. The fact that we were providing all materials became an issue during the initial phone call and he stated he did not understand why the job was bid this way and why we would want to be responsible for providing the supplies. When the subcontractor arrived on Thursday to begin the job, this was still an issue with him. So much so that he proceeded to argue with my wife over why we were doing this and that by doing this we would hold up the job (remember we already had 90% of the materials on hand and in the garage so he didn’t even have to pick them up)! He also stated that when he purchased supplies, the increase in price that is passed onto the client is standard in the industry and allows him to pay for his insurance and tools consumed on the job. At this point I had to step in and tell the subcontractor that the discussion would stop immediately or he would be taken off the job. I immediately called the owner and told him that his subcontractor had proceeded to get into an argument with my wife about how the job was bid and his displeasure that we would be providing all materials. I received an email back from the Bob’s ops guy asking for us to allow their subcontractor to buy his own supplies. I of course said no as the job had already been bid with us buying the supplies and the fact that the subcontractor had already stated he did not want to use the flooring adhesive required by the manufacturer to maintain the product’s warranty, did not want to use the grout required by the manufacturer, etc and that he would charge us more than the products cost in order to cover his insurance, expenses, etc. i also explained by us purchasing supplies we would ensure the materials purchased would be what we wanted and would ensure contractor grade materials would not be substituted that could violate the manufacturers requirements. Despite the already mentioned issues, neither Bob or another employee conducted an inspection to validate the quality of the work! In our case, we had purchased custom cabinets for the job. We provided the sub with plans depicting the dimensions and placement measurements and even pictures of the products so it should have been a fool proof installation. I was shocked when I checked on the job and although the mounting hardware was present, a shelf was missing from the cabinet. Imagine my suprise when the subcontractor told me that the shelf was secured to the top of the cabinet and he couldn’t get to it as he had already mounted the sink top. So in addition to having to obtain another shelf (custom so delaying completion of the job by at least 6 weeks), brushstrokes in the trim painting are noticeable, the door trim doesn’t come close to matching the existing door, a shelf was significantly not level and a nearby stained door had had paint slopped onto it. A final qc would have hopefully caught these issues. Overall a very poor job and I would not recommend using this contractor."

Lasting Improvements has more than a decade of experience providing quality roof repair, general contracting and storm restoration. We offer a 20-year labor and material transferable warranty. Not only do we take great pride in our attention to detail but we make sure the job gets done in a timely manner, and it gets done correctly. All while making sure all of your questions are answered and you feel comfortable with the progress of your project. We would love the opportunity to earn you business and tell you more about the work we do and help make your next project a lasting one!

"I’m very pleased with our basement renovation and I will hire them again for the next project. Brad and his team were phenomenal to work with and they helped us design a living space that was a perfect fit for our needs. The price quote was broken down really well so we knew exactly what the costs were and where we could go higher or lower depending on what we wanted. The renovation added almost 700 square feet of comfortable living space that is well lit for reading or games or can be darkened when watching movies on the big screen. They even incorporated built-in shelving that enhances functionality of the space while giving it unique character. The project ran about 11 weeks, but that included several busy holidays and they were very transparent about other commitments. Renovations this large are bound to hit snags, but their excellent communication and proactive nature meant the issues were small and resolved quickly to our satisfaction. Everything stayed on budget with no surprises. We did framing, electrical, drywall, flooring, insulation, cabinetry, plumbing (bathroom), and paint. We will definitely hire Lasting Improvements again."

Drywall Insulation questions, answered by experts

Insulation provides additional protection for your tankless water heater. Even if the unit is installed inside the house, it’s still a good idea to wrap the unit up with insulation batts, especially if you live in cold climates. For outdoor units, you can build an insulated box around the tankless water heater for freeze protection.

Because of the moisture concern, open-cell foam requires a vapor barrier. The barrier protects against high humidity and moisture exposure in rooms such as basements, bathrooms, or exterior walls. It wouldn't be necessary in dry interior spaces.

Three signs that you need crawl space insulation are drafts, high energy bills, and mold. Drafts can start in crawl spaces and cause hot or cold air to spread to the rest of your home through holes in the floors and walls. And even if your entire home is well-insulated, you can still feel an unchecked draft from your crawl space and in your utility bill. Uninsulated crawl spaces can let in air and moisture, and because they’re built directly on the ground and difficult to dry out, they are hotspots for mold and mildew.

Choose affordable materials for a cost-effective insulation installation (say that five times fast). The most affordable insulation for your garage is fiberglass. Fiberglass comes in batts or rolls and is relatively easy to install compared to other types of insulation. You can also install this insulation without needing to drywall over it, which can cut down costs.

Expect your home insulation project to take between five and 12 hours to complete on average for batts or boards and two to five hours for spray foam or blown-in insulation. It might take longer if you need to remove your home’s existing insulation, you have a higher-than-average square footage, or accessibility is limited.
