Norse Construction, LLC is a unique small business. Over my 30 plus years of construction I've had numerous customers tell me of contractors who don't show up, don't clean up after themselves, build what THEY want and NOT what the homeower wants. Its simple. I started Norse simply because you should have what YOU want and when you want it - period.
"We attempted to have our unfinished basement finished in 2020. The project started in June of 2020 and was terminated unfinished in January of 2021. Total cost of the partial project was $75,771. Several issues led to the termination of the project. The primary was lack of actual project management and ability to take responsibility for errors by the contractor, which, in addition to being frustrating, contributed to the unnecessarily long project time of 7 months while still not being finished. Examples include: - An I-Beam for a heavy-bag track was to be installed on the ceiling. It was installed in the incorrect location and extremely poorly, to the point where flanges were overlapping. When confronted, the contractor stated that it just "wasn't finished". However, the correction required the complete removal and re-installation. Then the contractor claimed the issue was due to insufficient instruction supplied, even though all required information was in fact supplied. The installation crew was simply not competent and failed to install as instructed. - Wood panels were put on a large portion of the ceiling. Several conversations in writing instructed that there was to be no more work done after the initial paint as we liked the look as is. When painters were on-site for the walls, it was confirmed with them verbally that the ceiling was complete and not to perform work on them. However, they caulked and painted it anyway. When confronted, the contractor stated it was always known that this work was to be done. He also said it was only painted and not caulked, which was clearly not the case. Additionally, when shown texts and emails where we explicitly requested no more work done to the ceiling and that he also stated it was complete, he simply ignored it. - When ordering a vanity, he sent us to a shop to select one. However, when it came time to need the vanity, we found it had never actually been ordered. The contractor blamed us for not ordering it while at the shop, however the person at the shop later confirmed the hold up was the contractor not confirming the order. These are some of the biggest examples, but there were communication issues throughout the project. The termination of the contact didn't go any better than the rest of the project. We were told up front, in writing, that we would be billed for all services each week for the prior week. However, when we were settling up after the contract was terminated, there were many costs he was back charging for, meaning they were not billed during the week of work as the original contract stated. One of the items had no reciept. One of the bigger issues here was the painting. The painting cost was much too high relative to the original bid price based on actual work performed. When asked for an itemized bill for painting, it included painting work that had not been performed. The contractor ultimately removed the item for which he didn't have a receipt and reduced the paint cost by some amount. It was still not correct, but we agreed to pay to end the situation."

"NIGHTMARE!! Buyer beware!! Do not use Bath Planet St. Charles, MO or Peoria, IL same owner. Believe me, I’m doing you a favor and saving you time and money. Where do I even start? First of all, they will say anything to get you to sign the paperwork. And I mean anything, including guaranteeing it to be done by a certain date if you sign today. We were not going to get it done this early but due to my upcoming hip replacement and their guarantee that it would be done before that surgery date, we signed. UGH! Well, mistakes started right away, including getting our phone number wrong and even though we called the office several times to correct, told everyone person that came out, they continued to get it wrong. I thought, it’s ok people makes mistakes but little did I know it was just the beginning. Starting with the guys leaving my gate open and my dog getting out and having to pay $85 to get her from animal control. She was missing for hours!!!! Now I have to say, they felt bad and tried looking for her and due to me not able to drive, gave me a ride to animal control to pick her up and even offered to pay half. So I thought ok, this is a mess but they are trying to make it right. Little did I know this was just the beginning. From making a mess, breaking a yard sign, the worker having long arguments with their significant other on the phone while working (awkward) they began their work promising to be done in two days. Well, first day looked promising although the guy told me that what I was told about covering the tile behind my toilet was not going to happen. I was bothered and when I said I cancelled my drywall guy, he offered to do it for me “on the side” while the toilet was out. He seemed to want to help and said he would take care of it. Against my better judgement I agreed. I also found out that first day that this guy had a family emergency and that he would have to finish the next day because he would be gone the rest of the week. Ok understandable. The second day, I get a text that some parts are not in. After no one coming by 1pm, I started to get concerned so I called the office and I asked what time the parts will be coming in. The woman stated that the parts probably wouldn’t be until later. I asked if the guy doesn’t get done, could they guarantee someone else to come out the next day to finish. She stated absolutely not, we cannot guarantee and she stated they do not guarantee it done by my surgery. I was not happy and made it known and she started arguing with me. So the guy texts that he will be there and it will be done. He gets here like 430-500pm doesn’t leave until 930pm. And didn’t finish the shower and did a terrible job on the drywall. Oh, the shower worked but there were no shelves, the floor pan had no texture and one of the shower heads was installed in the middle of the wall. Yes the middle!!! I was furious. It was not done and my bathroom looked horrible!! Of course, the project manager was nice and listened and kept promising to make it right. It took weeks and several no shows and me and my husband calling and calling (and the whole time I’m recovering from TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT) until finally a different guy came out and finished the shower but he would not touch the drywall. So it took a month of dealing with them to get it done AND I had to hire another guy to correct the drywall. When we asked for a small discount to cover drywall correction expense and the fact they were not finished with install by promised date, we were told, “no. The shower worked, didn’t it?” Seriously?!! I wasn’t promised that the water would be coming out of the shower (in the middle of the wall) I was promised that they would be done before my surgery or at least installed correctly! So if you like being strung along, hearing false promises, no return phone calls, unprofessional behavior from staff to installers, leaving your house messier than when they came in, breaking your yard stuff, losing your dog, then these are the guys for you."

The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
There are several countertop options available to fit your lifestyle and needs.
Granite countertops are durable and come in a variety of colors.
Soapstone countertops are prone to scratches and best in smaller kitchens.
Marble countertops are less durable than granite but a good option for busy kitchens.
Slate countertops are stain-resistant, making them easy to clean.
Limestone countertops must be sealed often to prevent scratches.
Acrylic countertops cost less than granite while still providing durability.
Laminate countertops are the most affordable but chip and fade faster.
Wood countertops need monthly sealing to maintain.
The cost to install countertops is $3,105 on average. This project cost can range from $400 to $8,500, depending on the material, edging, and countertop size.
Laminate countertops are generally the most cost-efficient, ranging from $8 to $27 per square foot. On the other hand, slate countertops are considered more luxurious and range from $30 to $90 per square foot. There are also countertop materials priced between those two, including stainless steel, granite, Corian, and wood.
There are several questions or things to know before hiring a handyman to do any work in your home.
What kind of work do they do?
Do they have proper licensing?
Do they charge for estimates?
Is the estimate for both labor and materials?
Do they provide references?
Do you provide a guarantee?
When can you start and finish the job?
Do you have any before and after photos of your work?
How long have you been doing this kind of work?
Do you clean up and dispose of waste when the job is finished?
Yes, you should hire a handyman who’s licensed, certified, and insured, if possible. States have different requirements for handyman licensing, registration, and certifications. If licensing is required in your area, you may pay more for a licensed handyman with experience than one who is not licensed or certified, but you’re likely to get a better end result for your project. Be sure to check our state licensing tool to review the local handymen guidelines.
