"We had a great experience with Jody, Terry and Brian at CCCM who did our 70 sq ft master bath remodel in March/April 2017. The original quote was approx $20,000 but we chose to go significantly over some of our allowances for things like a $1200 Toto toilet with washlet seat, so the final cost for the bathroom was approx $25,000. We paid additional money for wallpaper removal and painting in other rooms of the house. CCCM gave us contractor pricing for everything and made sure we got the lowest possible price on everything we selected. We did have to wait some months before the remodel could begin because they had other jobs lined up ahead of ours but we were happy to pick out tile and fixtures and wait. Terry kept in touch via email and phone while we waited. Once the job began, everything ran very smoothly, everyone was on time, cleaned up at the end of the day, and were professional and respectful of our home. The remodel took 4 weeks to complete plus the usual wait time for the frameless glass, but we were able to use the new shower with a temporary shower curtain while waiting for the glass. Part of the reason it took 4 weeks is we added on a few small projects around the house in addition to the bathroom. Jody is a perfectionist, which is a good thing in a contractor. I'm kind of a perfectionist so I was worried I was going to have to micromanage every step of the process and agonize that everything was done properly and that all of the elements would come together in the end, but Jody took care of everything and updated us about the progress made every day. We're very happy with our new bathroom and would definitely use CCCM again. Our remodel kept the existing layout of the bathroom but we changed from a tub/shower combo with a soffit to a shower with a curb and no soffit. We had 2 niches, a handheld and a fixed shower head with diverter, 2 grab bars, and a 1/2" starphire (low iron) frameless glass panel, Robern medicine cabinets with outlets, etc. put in. We chose to keep our existing vanity including the granite top and faucets so it was taken out during the remodel and put back in once the floor was tiled. Terry found a matching piece of granite to use for the shower curb. I also want to note that one of the reasons we went with CCCM vs. 2 other contractors who gave us quotes is that CCCM was the only one that used the method of shower construction we preferred which is the Schluter-Kerdi system, so I had a good feeling about them from the beginning. Cost-wise, CCCM's quote was pretty close to the other 2 quotes we received. I've attached before and after photos I took of our bathroom which was originally built as part of a 1986 addition."

"I wholeheartedly recommend Norpro Services, and Mihai in particular! I needed to convert an empty second floor into a bathroom, bedroom and walk-in closet for my daughters. I had never done a build from scratch and I'm so thankful that I picked Mihai and Norpro for the job. The completed project is absolutely beautiful. His crew of subcontractors were professional, courteous and did really high quality work. Mihai has excellent project management skills, is a perfectionist about quality and taking the time to get things right, he's a good listener and also anticipated problems or challenges in advance, which saved us a ton of time. The project was completed on time, on budget, and I could not be happier with the final project. He is one of the best contractors I've ever worked with."

"They have done an excellent job on every part of the job. I have dealt with a lot of contractors over the past 10 years and by far Donald is the best I've ever hired. He has provided very high-end quality work at a very fair price. The detail work in the tile and carpentry is the best I've seen. Also, it is very rare to find an honest contractor. I have asked Donald for suggestions throughout this project and he's helped me find more cost effective solutions to some of my problems. He doesn't try to sell you something or talk you into doing extra work that is not necessary. They also work very fast, get started and finished without delays. Donald is my new go-to contractor for any future projects and I have already referred him to my Mother and a coworker."

"I am so grateful to Grandview Construction for our beautiful, new kitchen and master shower! They also painted our entire first floor including the trim. Our experience with Jeremy and his wonderful crew was A+mazing! Their workmanship was excellent, and Jeremy was very communicative and responsive throughout the entire process. The crew was friendly, professional and clearly experts at what they do. One of them has almost 30 years of experience in the industry. Jeremy and his crew provided many helpful details about the project from start to finish and was quick to let us know if any issues arose. When they had to make any adjustments they explained the reasons and were very patient in answering all of our questions and since this was our very first kitchen remodel we had a lot of questions. The project was completed on time and stayed within the very fair competitive estimate he gave us in the beginning, and we could not be happier with the gorgeous finished product. We will work with them on any other project we might do on our home, and I would recommend Grandview Construction without any reservation to anyone who is looking for a dependable and honest general contractor to work on their house."

"Jack and his team were great! Initial quote: Jack came on time and communicated well throughout. Quote was provided in a timely manner unlike some other contractors I had contacted. A clear contract was provided with all work in writing along with prices and milestones. Work began promptly and was done with great quality and care. Our family is enjoying our new space and would recommend JK to all our family and friends. Thanks again!"

"Nermin & Sons do it all. I cannot tell you how good they are. They worked within my schedule and budget. The quality of work was amazing. I would recommend them to anyone. Contractors don't get any better than this. If you need quality work, and beyond (when he saw that additional work would be needed, he just did it). For your peace of mind (I''m 70 years old and have been dealing with Nermin for at least 15 years), please consider Nermin and Sons to meet your construction issues."

Mike is a phenomenally creative contractor who successfully works within budget to exceed expectations. We highly recommend and would definitely hire Wentworth builders for our next project."

Unfinished Carpentry questions, answered by experts

To calculate the number of linear feet of baseboard you’ll need, measure the length of each wall of the room you’re installing them in as close to the floor as possible, rounding up to the next full linear foot. If it’s your first DIY molding job, having a few extra feet on hand for miscuts is a good idea.

The easiest way to tell if a wall is load bearing is to check if it’s an exterior wall or if it runs perpendicular to the joists above and below it (or parallel to beams). Exterior walls are almost always load-bearing, and walls that run under beams or parallel to them are also usually load-bearing. There are exceptions to these rules, and walls that don’t fit into these categories can still be load-bearing. If you’re unsure, hire a structural engineer to look at your home to assess whether or not the wall is structural.

Framing is the shell of the house. It includes several steps, including studs, plumbing, and electricity. A professional will ensure the wall frame is secured for the house’s structural integrity. 

Framing prices change depending on the material and whether the wall is load-bearing. Most contractors use wood to frame a home, but metal is another popular choice.

Begin by analyzing the blueprints and gathering the proper materials before framing a house. With the prep stages behind you, begin by framing the floor of a house on the newly set foundation. Exterior and interior walls come next, along with rough openings for doors and windows. Contractors will then add ceiling and roof rafters to finish things off. 

Removing a load-bearing wall is best handled by professionals. However, if you have the skill set and decide to DIY the project, you will still need at least one additional person to assist you. Aside from helping with demolition, you'll need another hand to install the new support beam.
