"Bobby, my Project Manager, coordinated teams for electrical, plumbing, demolition, drywall, tile, flooring, and assembly work. My bathroom remodel was completed with exceptional attention to detail, including updated fixtures, new floor tile, and grab bars. Any concerns I raised were handled quickly and respectfully.
The second project involved running electrical wiring to my she-shed and installing new laminated plank flooring in my living and dining rooms. The team found creative solutions that minimized cost and disruption, and the new floors are perfect for my dogs and home office needs.
They were professional, punctual, and communicative throughout both projects, consistently providing updates and keeping everything on schedule. I recommend Bobby for any remodeling —his reliability, fair pricing, and workmanship made the entire experience positive."
"Andy and team remodeled our kitchen as well as built a bathroom for us in our basement. I wanted to wait a little while before leaving a review to confirm the quality of work. Years later everything is still great and no issues. Andy was flexible and professional during the whole construction project, we appreciated the attention to detail and considerations his team gave to our family."
"Keith with Just Bathrooms is the absolute best! Keith and his assistant were here when he said he was going to be and they are careful and clean and professional. Keith remodeled our hall bathroom for us in 2015 and we were so pleased with his work that we wanted him to remodel our kitchen in February 2021 and could not be more pleased. The kitchen is more beautiful than we could have imagined. We knew we wanted him to remodel our master bathroom so we scheduled it when he finished the kitchen. He just finished the remodel of our master bathroom and master closet on Friday and they look absolutely amazing! We couldn’t be happier with our new bathroom and closet and Keith’s work. Keith is really good at what he does and takes pride in his work and it definitely shows. He even pays attention to the smallest details. He is the only contractor I trust. Keith is honest and fair and very knowledgeable and does top quality work. We explained what it was that we wanted and he delivered and we could not be happier. I highly recommend Keith with Just Bathrooms and can’t say enough good things about him and his work."
"We were pleasantly impressed with VillaSilva. They tiled our 19ft fireplace and it looks beautiful! There were a couple minor imperfections that we pointed out and Francisco and his team immediately fixed without question. We would highly recommend Villasilva for anyone with tile needs."
"Our family highly recommends R. Wright Construction and Remodeling. We found the company on HomeAdvisor. We submitted a request for both interior and exterior work on our house, including wood rot, new trim work, lighting, and roof work. Mr. Wright responded to our request within 24 hours, and came out shortly after to do a walk through. We received a very agreeable quote a few days later and scheduled his company to do the work. The workers were efficient, professional, and highly skilled. We absolutely love the end results!Mr. Wright is a very professional and knowledgeable contractor. He is passionate about his work and cares about doing the job right. We put our trust in his advice and were extremely satisfied with the results. You can put your confidence in him because he stands behind his work!Our family has moved a few times over the last few years. We found it very difficult to find a competent, dedicated, and trustworthy contractor. We will look no further. We look forward to working with him on our future projects. You can't go wrong with R. Wright."
"I rarely, if ever give 5 star reviews. But, I DO recommend Maynor Construction (MC)! But, 5 = perfection, and nothing is perfect : ) I hired MC for cement siding and sunroom addition project, beginning in June of 22, ending Sep, 22. I will review the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. But, this doesn't cover everything, because Home Advisor only allows so many characters. Finally, this was my first (major) home improvement project and likely the largest investment I will ever make in my home. The Good - Maynor (owner) is a very knowledgeable and a skilled builder, with many years of experience. I appreciated that he was actually on site many days, not only supervising, but also working along side his team. - The administrative staff was magnificent. Responsive, knowledgeable, friendly, and available. Having the right people in the front office can make or break a business. Hire the right people to manage the office and it will pay dividends toward the success of your company...in my humble opinion. - I had fiber cement siding installed on my home, and a sunroom that replaced an old, broken-down outdoor breezeway. This was no easy project and teams of highly-skilled workers were at my home daily, typically from before 8am until nearly sundown - and even partially on Saturdays. We were blessed with very little rain through the 3 months, which accelerated the work. Maynor's team worked very hard, moved efficiently, and maintained a great level of skill throughout the process. The Bad - For the most part, none of my utilities were affected all that much. Utility boxes were moved away at the beginning, were moved back at the end, and worked just fine. I also had a lot of electrical added and moved throughout the project, but alterations and small inconveniences were to be expected. However, there was a problem when it came to Maynor's (unintended) disruption of my ATT Fiber. While there was no cutting of that fiber, the siding was installed over the fiber and it shut down my internet. Maynor's workers claimed innocence, but it was clearly something for which they were likely responsible. The fiber cable box was moved back into place, and when I got home the internet wasn't working any longer. This required ATT to come out and reinstall the fiber cable and box that came into my house from the outside. - Kitchen flooring fix. I have a very small special strip of (tiled) kitchen flooring that had to be removed during the remodel because I wanted a small portion of a wall removed. Years ago, this strip was created with very cool, colored, (intentionally) broken glass tiles. But, sadly those tiles are no longer available. Happily, I found some of the original kitchen tile that Maynor could break-up into pieces and install into the strip. I approved a change order for Maynor to fill-in that strip of flooring, which required some pretty major cutting of the floor and sub floor. However, they cut the floor crooked and at an unpleasing angle. And, while it is not terrible, it is very noticeable to me and I wish Maynor had done a better to cut the area straighter. I can live with it, but someday I will need to replace the entire kitchen floor to maintain the professional look. The Ugly - While I live in a populated area, with restaurants, a gas station, hotels, etc... workers, laboring in extremely hot summer conditions, even with lots of shade, require lots of hydration. Those fluids need to go somewhere! Unfortunately, there were at least two instances (likely more), I personally witnessed workers finding their own ways to relieve themselves - not inside my home, nor at the gas station just next door. I complained to Maynor and they promptly brought in, at their expense, a Porta Potty, which would remain for the duration of the project. But, I had to ask them to include and only after I discovered what was happening on my property. Ove..."

You technically can paint wires in a basement ceiling, but there are several important safety and code considerations. It's safe to paint non-metallic sheathed cable as long as the labeling remains visible. You can also paint low-voltage wires and conduit and junction boxes to help them blend into your basement.
However, you should not paint damaged or deteriorated wiring is a fire hazard because it poses a fire hazard. The same goes for painting over high-heat wires that connect to heat-generating appliances or systems. Be sure to avoid painting multiple coats onto any wires, as that traps heat and poses fire risks.
It is generally more affordable to finish a basement than an attic, though it ultimately depends on how you plan to use the space. The average cost to finish a basement ranges from $7 to $23 per square foot, while attic renovation costs $30 to $60 per square foot. However, a simple attic conversion to a storage space will cost significantly less.
Whether it’s more affordable to gut a house than build a new one depends on the markets where you'd be buying and selling. However, it’s usually less expensive to renovate a home than to build new construction.
Most homeowners pay between $100,000 and $200,000 for demolition and remodeling costs, whereas the average cost to build a new home is between $139,000 and $531,300.
Rebar is an essential part of reinforcing a basement floor, as not having it can impact its structural integrity. It helps absorb the tension factors that contribute to cracks in your floor and strengthens its load-bearing capabilities by evenly distributing the weight. Not including rebar could lead to an unstable floor, so don’t skip it!
